Tracker Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 If Richards wants to play this game, he will have to do so covered in bubble-wrap. Pity- he looked like a decent receiver for his few plays. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of you guys are just ridiculous with these posts about a 22 year old kid. This post makes no sense? You don't need to play a contact sport to have an opinion on a player who has been healthy a very little tiny fraction of his time with the club? It's fact. The guy has bad luck and/or is injury prone. You can't deny this? DR. CFL and Blueandgold 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man. Some of you guys are just ridiculous with these posts about a 22 year old kid. Played football, boxed, did TKD, bjj and was on the national team for kickboxing. But you dont need any of that to know the old saying, you cant make the club from the tub. I hope his recovery is speedy and he can show some thing finally. But at this rate he's a bad year from being out of football. Edited June 11, 2016 by wbbfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 I'm still willing to chalk it up to some early bad luck. Takes more than 2 or 3 injuries for me to label a guy injury prone. Not a great start to his career though, that's for sure. SPuDS, blitzmore and sweep the leg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 I'd be more willing to join the "injury prone!!11!" crew if it was the same thing being injured all the time. Different stuff says "fluke" to me...or, maybe his whole body is just fragile...I dunno. But I'm willing to give him time yet.

Matt Nichols just doesn't have what it takes to be a starter. Yes agree although he'll have arguably better receivers/running backs/protection if it comes to him starting which is encouraging to me if Willy is unable to play.

bustamente Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Hopefully Richards get these injuries sorted out, whether he is brittle or has bad luck the kid does seem to show potential and we can't give up on him yet.

Corney on D, nice sacks and stuffing the line. Couture filling in on the O-Line. Loffler, looking like a safety. Butcher, slicing up the D. Intzandt getting some 'real' reps. Even John Rush got some action. Nice to see.. I really liked what I saw out of Corney....but did anyone else notice he seemed stronger rushing against the left tackle? I guess that's his preferred side but it's something he's going to have to work on. I liked Intzandt, and Couture got a surprise on his very first play when he got beaten for a sack.

I noticed that too, surprised to see Westerman playing on the right end as he was on the left last year.

But what we have at #3 and #4 is so improved from the past 2 seasons it's difficult to put into words. We have depth and skill at the qb position, and we should all breathe a sigh of relief over that! Logan007 and Mr Dee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to look at that video of Corney again to see if he played strictly on the one side in college, but he was definitely stronger rushing against the left tackle. He does have great speed, and I believe he got credit for 2 sacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very few guys will be technically limited or have a mental hang up about coming from one side, but I dont think its any where as near a big deal as in american football where you have a strong and weak side.
