both guys had tons of talent, especially considering the strength of rookie NI crops 6 + years ago, but neither could hold up to the battering of pro football. If i could have 1 of these 2 and addison richards, healthy and the same age the last guy id take would be addison richards. (hope he proves me wrong this year, but not holding my breath) -
Ed Tait...Mini Camp Preview (and) Reports
wbbfan replied to Mr Dee's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
probably going to have him line up and do solo drills to get him used to yard off the line n stuff. Plenty of acclimatizing for him to do, but yeah he isnt gonna show much with out drilling against some one. -
emphasis on BIG. He gavin walls esq in size and shape. Guys that well built who can run like him and are over 6'0 are pretty rare. Cant wait to see him in camp. He has real good hands too. Thats a tough spot to crack though. There was talk of him jumping up to the first round of the nfl draft if he ran the 40 well. He didnt, he ran a 4.50 40. But his clear break away speed, and quick acceleration in game tends to make that look like a bad run or a guy who isnt track fast. His 41.5" vert, and 11'1" broad jump ( yes 11 feet!) combined with the fact he went from 4.51 at the combine to 4.46 at his pro day make it a a certainty. His broad jump is nearly double his height. His vert is elite level for the NBA combine. 15 reps 25lbs above your body weight is pretty impressive too. Hes compact, 5'9 200lbs never seemed to get taken down by first contact. Seldom tackles from behind. If you were going to design a perfect back for the cfl, he might be what you come out with. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2014-pro-days-baylors-seastrunk-improves-combine-times/ First play he hurts his leg, missed his only 2 games in college career. Still ran 76 yards for the score. I really would like to see him get some reps returning kicks and punts. He was the heavy feature back and didnt get as much versatile use as would be ideal, But he really seems to have the skill set for it.

With his athletic prowess he probably gets listed as a saftey, but his teams play would be what gets him on the roster. Every player who gets nfl interest could make them self a full nfl career if they just commit them self to excelling on teams. He seems like that kinda guy. With some eye popping numbers to back em up. thats the truth. Holy sweet crap this guy is a missile.

I dont think we can expect to see too much out of the lone linemen in camp.... The 5 for me, WR Rashon ceaser, handsy guy who plays slot and fits what we do really well. Seems like we will have a open spot up for grabs. RB kendall roberson, great size / speed combo crazy high level producer but at d3. LBer Will smith, probably the pre season favorite to take the mlb spot. Qb Myles carr. Being the only young guy its hard to see him not ending up the PR. Camp should be a great chance to see his raw ability. DB Terrence parks. Really big athlete, hard to imagine him playing corner but he has the base tools to play most defensive spots other then the line. -
Yeah, RT is heavily weighted towards average movie goers. A positive score means atleast half the scores were 50% or better too its not a great metric imop.
-
so long as he doesnt fill out wade millers bra itll be ok. im surprised tho i thought they were high on him as a lber maybe its a typo.

golden parachute. -
same i was never keen on the comics so i had low expectations but it worked great. maybe my favorite marvel movie so far. youre more the "damned kids get off my lawn" type though ya?
-
QB we signed a little ways back. Looks like a good developmental qb. Page 55 in this thread is where the discussion around him, videos links n usual stuff kicks off.
-
ahhh i missed that. dang. Wonder if hes gonna come late to camp or some thing. Cant find any schedule info on them. Will I receive compensation if I’m accepted into The Spring League? Each player that is accepted into The Spring League receives housing along with daily meals Idk if this is gonna be better or worse then afl2.
-
Hearing a lot of mixed, and average reviews for Guardians of the galaxy so far. Its hard for the 2nd to live up to the first. Especially when the first comes form out of no where. I hope thats all it is. Im really excited to see what they do with ego and starlord.
-
http://www.bluebombers.com/practice-schedule/ Just noticed the full roster listed. And no MBT at qb. He had great tools but the age vs experience was just too huge a gap. If he had come north like 5 years earlier it could have been interesting. Carr, DD, Nichols, and Lefevour is a pretty good group. And 4 qbs is optimal imop. With more then that you just dont get enough reps for a couple guys. Mini camp on weds FOOTBALL TIME! Not that the weather would tell you that LOL.

it was allways full hipster
-
or an over priced hipster outdoors men and hunting store. oh wait we got cabelas.
-
the value to be had in the draft is sky rocketing. I cant imagine how it could be in 5 years from now.
-
iirc this is a follow up from an article last year
-
floyd, then i could see mcg pushing in one more maybe the new years event. Who he fights next in the ufc? better chance of predicting the weather a month in advance.
-
im glad he retired rather then ending up here. And good for him he leveraged those 4 years into money to set up his life. I feel like this draft more then most is littered with land mines like this. If we end up with one gamble guy in the top 3 of our draft then we've done pretty good. (so long as we havent gone crazy far off the board again.)
-
ya pretty big let down start to the year. wonder if gibby makes it to the allstar game if the jays stay on this pace. Knew going from all the crazy hitters of the last few years to a more human line up would be tough this is worse then expected though. They really gotta get a lead off hitter, and start using line ups that flow like normal line ups.
-
didnt he finish the year on the PR of the cheifs or sign a futures deal or some thing for camp this year?

Thats an interesting read. Idk about us going with one of each linemen for our first round picks. I think we grab behar or if some how he should drop vandervoort. Its a strange draft. The positions with first round talent have multiple guys. dt, wr, ol none of them have one guy head and shoulders better then the wrest. I wouldnt be surprised if our top 3 picks are ol, dl and wr at all. But I think we go wr with the 2nd first. The drop off at wr is much faster and much steeper then DL or ol. Ol will go early and often, as it allways does.

yeah bilukidi is old news. iirc hes working on ottawa now. maybe there is a trade to be made with ott but who knows.
