bigg jay Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Had the same initial reaction but I'm hoping it's only because they want to give one of these guys a legit shot at the #1 spot. They know what we'll get from Hurl so let's see what these guys can do when the lights come on. I also think it's fitting we're playing the Riders because that receiving core (outside of Stafford) is very green! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweep the leg Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Just now, Mike said: Immediately I'm nervous that Hurl isn't going. I'm not. We know basically as fact that he'll be on the team, and the coaches already know what he brings. Let the other two guys get all the reps tomorrow. I find it interesting that Temple is starting at wil. That doesn't seem like a great sign for him in the mlb battle. Stone must be impressing. He definitely has the prototypical mlb build.

Booch Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 yeah me too. Hoping that isn't an indication that he is the projected starter at the moment. But on the flip side, if that Johnson is the real deal at DT, or another impact import we could actually have Hurl out there with not a lot of issues I think with our D-line with Wety, Nevis and Oko and another strong dominant tackle they could cause so much havoc and eliminate a lot of the untouched runs until the second level that a guy like Hurl wouldn't get washed out and actually be in his gap as they claimed and become support more than the center of the attack. Rotate in a Corney, Ekakite, Butcher, Thomas to spell off an import and u could sub out Hurl as well in those packages and still maintain the ratio. Still would prefer an Amerk Thumper up the gut, but this could be adequate initially Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booch Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 but this is what pre-season is for...get a feel for the guys who are new and you are not sure about...the knowns are just that known...they can knock of the rust in game 2, and show they are better than un upstart that showed well in game 1 and may get a second chance in game 2 to cement it... and really...sask will be filled with a lot of nobodies as well, and as foe established quality veterans, they prob only have about 12 tops anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Best case scenario is one of the new guys jumps off the page and stakes a claim. Get it done, Knox!! blue_gold_84, Bigblue204, Jesse and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Think it's more of a special teams thing get that Hurl Miller and Miles were left at home. They know they can play there give opportunity to young guys to get few more reps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they really want to keep "Poop" to backup Nevis, replace Scott who has been virtually invisible since his arrival. Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watching Ekakitie move I'm liking him more and more , guy seems like a professional and dedicated to improving. I'm willing to give Hurl a chance, don't think he'll be a typical starter on every play but could be useful. Jake Thomas looks a little weak but is pretty quick and has good feet. Butcher is just the opposite, this dude is probably the second or third biggest guy on the team behind Hardrick and Bond.

If the D-line can mitigate runners getting to the next level, it reduces the need for a major thumper at MLB... just some food for thought/conversation... *to be determined Fatty Liver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can't create pressure then okay, 3 imports gives them another path to pursue. rebusrankin and kelownabomberfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Come on now. This is a whole new level of competition for Ekakitie, so it may take a game or two for him to get used to things. If he pancakes Bennett, that would be a good ego-boo for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickthesizz Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Real question, who on this board would trade any of our qbs for any of the riders qbs? Personally I think it's a wash so far between Apocada and Bennett but Davis and Lefevour are far more promising than Glenn and Brandon Bridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously if you needed to win a game you're not sticking in Apodaca over Glenn but in the long term I'd rather have our guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
