Man he is some thing else to watch run. Good single cut runners are harder to find then balanced / power backs. A good multi cut back runner is exceedingly rare. Under sized (5'7 194) dominant big sky conference scat back with good hands and good but not great speed (mid 4.4s-4.5) and minimal NFL interest. Lighting cant strike twice... And now that ive gushed about him we can go ahead and cut him LOL. Sounds like a potential MOS guy though. Dare to dream i guess. "Extremely tough competitor. Outstanding work ethic. Excellent character. Good ball security. Experienced four-year starter."

Positions at wr are far more fluid then people give them credit. Darvin adams recently touched on it on an OB pre game show, and givens as well in his recent interview on BB.com I believe his quote was some thing like im ready to step in at any position any time they need me. Lankford also came out of the slot for atleast 3 of his carries and 1 missed deep ball.

Mulumba is a tweener and has been since college. Westerman was a thorough breed pass rusher in college and in the nfl was a pass rushing LBer/de. Mulumba doesnt have near the polished pass rush techniques or skill set. Same amount of college years/games 4.5 sacks to 26. 4.5 tackles for a loss, to 45. In westermans stint in the NFL he recorded more sacks then mulumba has combined between the nfl and college. Westerman was incredible in his combination of athleticism and pass rush skill. Athletically and physically mulumba is similar to westerman. But at the same token athletically and size wise corney dwarfs both a great deal. But hes another guy who didnt come turn key with pass rushing skills. Westerman has an absurdly explosive ability to get off the ball. A lot of his career sacks are made with his first step. Its also why his production dipped after the first year. Teams cant play him straight up and aggressive. Thorpe could play the speedster role, thats the skill set and rep he came to the team with. He was brought into camp as much as a return man as any thing. Lankford doesnt do any thing thorpe cant. Flanders is very much a stand alone in our offense. An X factor. Plop has been trying to hammer a ton of different players into that flanker role. Smith, dressler, denmark, adams probably every import pass rusher got a turn at that smith package. But none made it work like flanders. He is as unique in that position, and un challenge as harris is as our tail back. The loss of the threat of flanders, the confusion and miss match he was to defenses is a much larger loss then his stats would indicate.

One of the very best people the organization and us the fans have been lucky enough to call one of our own.

no i know It does depend a lot on your build and frame. If he was fat with that build he'd be playin TE.

news out of riderville are saying chad owens is close to making his season debut for the crieders.

6'4 236, does he train in competitive eating with nik lewis in the off season?

Corney has shown more flashes this year, but isnt he banged up too? Imo mulumba would be more raw then corney playing end too. This isnt a westerman type situation. The 4 imps on the DL with jeffcoat and corney rotating is good, especially while we are banged up at WR and starting 2 ni any way.

also a fantastic teams guy. Plus who knows how wild will look when he comes back he has missed a TON of football.

Nah not the worst. Still better then montreal, Healthy to healthy better then a few other teams too. Cant say atm with injures how good it is or isnt, we dont know who is in or out for how long. Not long ago this wr core was called down and derided for not having any elite wr or wr who could stretch the field. That all went away pretty quick though didnt it. We also dont know exactly what we have in a bunch of guys that will probably be forced into action. Its not a bad wr core, its a banged up wr core. Do we need upgrades? sure. Our LB core is in more trouble then our wr core. And our rb depth too. We are on the fringe of locking up a home play off game with a couple weeks to spare. Its not panic time.

Man that one really blows. He was such a fantastic actor and person.

He was being de-activated again, allegedly down to the PR. He asked for his out right release. Felt his play had entitled him to a spot. This. Normand isnt fast but he is big and bruising. Shown some pretty good hops now and then too. John rush also converted to FB, mike miller rosters as a fb as well. Those are the guys we would see in a pinch. If flanders is out next week id actually like to see the flanker set with harris and normand. Would be phenomenal for pass pro. Normand seems to struggle catching the ball though. At one point due to turf toe to charlie roberts we had mike sellers start at RB, only other back up we had was wade miller and maybe brad yamoka. Though im not sure on yamoka. Neither of them are more able (even in their generation) then miller, normand or rush. We also went to keith stokes to start at RB for i think 2 games. We had a stint where all our backs went down hurt as well. Yves?, fred, and volny. Come to think of it we where very thin for a good while with guys like paris cotton, will ford, chad simpson, chris garrett etc. Wonder what kendall roberson and lache seastrunk are up to now? Both looked pretty strong in camp. If flanders is out for any period of time I wouldnt hesitate to grab one of them. They should have some idea of our system and coaches as well.

Poop on the PR is criminal. Jeffcoat missed entirely, JSK snubbed with pr is sad too.

The rest of this week then 3 more weeks before round one. Dont know the extent of the injuries so far, wild and dressler are close to coming back. All in all a good situation, far from a pyrrhic victory.

Normally there is a good bit of adaptation to the cfl game. WR is a bit more plug and play, and a guy who played in the slot for as much as he did in the nfl should be good to give er a go pretty quick.

TO has a lead late. this is looking like itll go right down to the wire. cmon frito ray

The glove, the weather, the hits hard couple weeks for him.

Depending on injures and guys getting healthy it really is gonna be tough.

Yeah it was, and the deep ball. They did both well. That blind side hit was brutal. We really gotta lock up a home spot this week or next so we can let nichols get healthy. Hes gotta be pretty banged up by now.

Im not a doctor but I play one in real life. As for the WR core, its a strange spot. On the surface we have a good group. But stankford is a downgrade from mcduff, and we let him walk. Need to upgrade stanky. Then denny. I think we all love him for his heart and what he did last year. But he is just invisible in way too many games for an imp wr. Then dressler. I know we all love him. But the guy cant stay healthy. I dont wanna see it end badily for him. Id love to see him as a wr coach in the future. But hes a guy we cant invest star imp wr money on going into next year. For now dressler, adams, with a healthy flanders flanking, denny in the redzone and the unspectacular but dependable NIs will have to do. With what coates has shown, and JFG stepping up when we need him and woli a NI worth grooming im not too worried about our NI wr talent now. Sure a 1k ni wr would be great, but any star quality NI would be as well. We have to get younger at WR, and more dangerous. Washington has big up side. So does chris givens. Once we lock up a home play off game we should really try to get both of them in and see if they are guys we want to roster in the play offs. As well as make more use of flanders when hes healthy. A lot of the juggernaut offensive performances we put on where enabled due to misdirection involving him. But as a weapon we didnt get a ton of use out of him directly.

Jsk is really turning into some thing special. I wonder if he could excel in the middle when wild is healthy... Man they had huge penetration on our run plays all day. Clearly had some pre snap read picked up. Tough running for harris, heroic effort from him today.

1 Medlock. 3 fgs monster job punting. 47 yards per punt. 2 Fogg. Return for a TD, and huge pick return that almost went for another. 3 The DL. Pressure all day on jennings, johnson had a big average but they contained the running game to a long run of 15. HH Heath with the pick 6 that was a nail in the coffin. Honorable mention to our kick cover guys for containing rainey.

same here. Man another great pre game interview, this time with terrence edwards.

The event is looking pretty bloody good. especially considering it isnt a PPV. I was looking at the earnings for the last ufc PPV. Made me sad. I could think of 3 times or so jack dempsey earned more in one fight (in the 1920s) then any one on the card. Then trying to think how many fights itd take DJ to equal some of those classic fights. Forget the ALI act the ufc fighters need an Ebeneezer scrooge christmas carol level of divine intervention.

I thought the same thing when i heard that lol!
