youre right, comparing him to kuale isnt fair. my bad. Its also not his fault he got over played at a position he should have backed up.

thats the truth the weather has been un real. never know what to expect day to day.

http://www.bluebombers.com/practice-schedule/ Mini camp schedule is out. All dates at IG field. Wednesday, April 26 Practice: 11:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Thursday, April 27 Practice: 10:45 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. and 2:45 p.m. – 4:15 p.m. Friday, April 28 Practice: 10:45 a.m. – 12:05 p.m

been a bad first quarter for ufc cards and events in general. But this would be fantastic. DJ vs mcg. no take backs gimmie it now. http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2017/4/18/15341070/ufc-mma-news-interview-video-demetrious-johnson-conor-mcgregor-super-fight-featherweight

bad teams tend to cut good players. and even good teams have guys fall between the cracks. 104 tackles 9.5 tfl and 4 sacks as a junior after bouncing between starter and bench previously is pretty impressive. Some times a year off can be good if a guy gets hurt too. no idea if thats his case. At worst these guys are TCF, and young tcf. Id rather have young hungry tcf then old long in the tooth types weve seen previously. No macho harris kuale etc type in sight. And like you said its been a real good off season. Id suspect they see some thing in these two rather then filling out the TC roster with tcf.

I think that would be the scenario, this draft has a glut of mid to late first round type talent and i could see a back like augustine, or especially ante litre falling. Either would be well worth mid to late pick for teams and depth. We dont have a lot of pics after our high 3 but a pick swap for next year to grab one of those guys in the 4th and on would be great. I think normand might get a chance to play a bit if harris got hurt. If say harris went down mid game normand would step in. If he ran with it I could see him being the starter while we carry one of the other imp rbs as a DI.

I think normand is penciled in at that spot but I wouldnt be surprised if we grabbed some one in the bottom of the draft or free agency

he would be taking flanders job if he made the team. When we had flanders and harris on the roster the DI spot was just wasted. We COULD make use of 2 backs but I dont think we will under plop. Thats why I was saying hes likely to be PR if he works out if harris is healthy. If one of harris or normand got hurt he / flanders would be the DI back up rb or starter. You never stop bringing in talent though. especially if they have a chance to be high level. When we brought in blink he had to fight his way on the roster and steal carries from troy mills, eric blount, and iirc corey philpot was on the roster in TC. Lots of high level competition at a position is how you maintain greatness and improve.

http://www.goetbutigers.com/athletics/directory/2922/kendall-roberson/ not a lot there but sounds like a good student athlete and like some one who loves football, and had deep roots with his program. pro day numbers of 4.48 40, 34.5 vert, 18 reps 225, 3 cone of 7.00, 4.16 shuttle, 9'9" broad jump. and measured 5'8. Certainly one of the more interesting rookie imps to watch for camp. http://www.nfldraftblitz.com/470-2/ http://herosports.com/collegefootball/east-texas-baptist-running-back-kendall-roberson-desire-greatness “I heard a running back say there’s a hammer and a nail in every football play,” explained Roberson, “you get to decide what you want to be. In a muddy game, in the rain, someone’s gotta be the hammer.” Roberson provides easy banter, doesn’t talk about himself or his attributes, instead focusing on his teammates and his faith. He truly feels blessed for his abilities and the opportunity presented to him at ETBU. Ya sounds like hes got a real good head on his shoulders and that hard nose hard work ethic that mos loves. Tbh, if he is gonna have any chance of making the active roster he is gonna need to be versatile and play teams. He does look like a serious threat to be the no2 back, the imp DI / pr incase harris gets hurt.

crazy good deal

Where did you read that? I thought he was getting much more then that. If thats true thats crazy good value. When the best OL / BPA at no1 this year wont be in camp at best, and focault is arguably better this may have been the move of the off season. Buono does it again.

AT THE TRACK AT THE WALL HE CAN LOOK UP PUCKER UP AND KISS IT GOODBYE! cant lie i loved his pbp. I can totally see how its not for every one though. (baseball especially goes well with his kind of enthusiasm)

Reminds me of a certain sac state alum who rushed for 409 yards in one game and had a nice lil career here... (more then fred reid any way lol) Normally when you see a stat line like his (especially in sub d1 competition) you think its horrible gap assignment issues and running through wide open holes (like the fred reid game up here) but he seemed to run through arm tackles or better contact on all most all those plays. Reminds me a bit of cam marshall. Short stocky rb, good speed, good strength, runs north south a lot. Likes the contact doesnt shy away at all. Lots of run plays out of the gun which should translate well, and had a couple catches which is allways good too. Should be fun to watch him in camp.

If hes looking at a camp invite, i would agree. If however a team is gonna sign him he should take it. Even if he only lasts camp the bonus and money he'd get for camp would be massive. IF its just a camp invite i would agree that he should use it as leverage to get a hefty deal to come straight to the cfl. I really dont think hes in the picture for first over all at all. (no inside info just my 2c) Idk if he'd even be a guy to look at with the no3. He was smaller then listed, is a guy that probably needs a year of seasoning on teams, and then still doesnt have the up side henoc had (imop). Not counting ankou, senior and gray due to nfl interest, I still cant see him going over vandervoort, bladek, woods, etc. Wr and OL are money picks in the cfl. Even the misses (our misses aside) tend to be serviceable players. Its positions teams tend to stock up and value highly every year. May not like vandervoort, but you cant question that with his 1 on 1s his stock could not have gone down in this draft. Also I dont think waggoner could fill the same spot as mulumba. So you cant even use one to back up the other as depth. Youd need to pass on a possible starting NI else where for a guy thats probably a back up and for whom you dont have another ni back up. Id take the chance on colling over mulumba. Neither first though. I think with the no1 its gonna be between gray and ankou depending on nfl interest. Maybe vandervoort if the other two get too much interest or the club falls/fell in love with him from tape/interview/work outs. At 5, depending on who we take first behar, maybe colling, one of the guys who is gonna fall (ankou, bladek ,gray, vandervoort, woods or ekitake) or even a risk on some one with an nfl camp invite but not a deal is gonna be hard to pass on. (mainly senior)

A signee may or may not be on the roster that year. If they make it through mini camp, do the full or most of the TC, and dont sit around for too long hoping some one else picks them up as a FA, they might get to the cfl for what the 1/3rd mark? For a rookie TC and pre season is huge. Practice is based around winning the next game, correcting problems from the previous game(s), etc. Its much less about getting guys reps to learn and improve. TC is all about getting guys in action, working with them and evaluating them. Not to mention the chance to get into actual game situations against another team, and be allowed to work things out no matter the score or game. Those things are hugely valuable to a rookie. Havent looked at the schedule yet so im not sure where the miss camp point would be (mini camp invite, mid tc cut etc) but short of a guy thats very much ready to step in and contribute (which is rare) that first year is shot.

Those movies pain me soo much. The last one i saw i fell a sleep in the theater. As a car guy im glad they have gone away from the horrible fake race stuff to crazy car action flick. Jeepers creepers 3 this year, the first 2 were kind of a guilty pleasure for me. Dont like the look of pennywise in IT, dont think the movie needed a remake but maybe itll be good. Alien covenant for some reason im sitll gonna check this out. I really didnt like Prometheus but im hoping they will pull it out and make some thing good.

except for the fact gray is a guard, which every team in the cfl uses. and ankou is a nose tackle, and does any one in the cfl run the 3-4 currently? People talking about various DTs needing to trim down to closer to 300 lbs, guys like butcher but ankou is note ably shorter and heavier. Ankou should have far more interest from the nfl as well. Ankou is more in a position like tony auclair. Probably heavy nfl interest, questions of positional fit in the cfl etc. Reasons to pick gray that dont apply to ankou? You can never have enough NI ol. Ni ol is allways the hotest position in the draft and chances of gray slipping very far arent good. DL with nfl interest can slide a good bit. NI ol is generally the safest pick in the draft. DL, even from a us school not soo much. Gray is a local product so we should have a lot more knowledge on him. Not to mention the closeness of the bisons program to the bombers. Taking gray would long term be a shift in our ratio. Should we take ankou and he works out we move a canadian for a canadian. Even if butcher hits we dont carry the kind of big dl bodies to back up 2 ni dts. etc. Ankou is a whole other situation to consider from gray. If any thing else id compare drafting him to drafting a WR. Either would have a chance to take a starting position, be on the active roster and make an impact rotationally at worst right away. Of course ankou and nfl interest makes picking him high risky helps right now pick. Cant say how they line up head to head but colling would be here this year, and would fill the exact same spot.

Let me clarify, i dont think gray gets drafted. I do think he is a priority FA for at least 1 team. His skill set and size combination is 100% worth a contract and year on the PR. I cant imagine him falling lower then the late 2nd round in the cfl draft. But thats pure speculation on my part. Even signed as a first day FA hes worth the risk of a 2nd rounder all day imop. Ol dont normally fall too far in the draft.

going into the NFL now as a guard is like getting drafted in baseball as a closer. A tackle can allways slide inside, but few guards can push out to tackle. Other wise theyd allready be playing tackle. Gray is a different animal though based on his athleticism and size alone. Some team could easily want him based on that alone.

eh not some thing to worry about pre all star break. Especially not some thing to worry about first month of the season.

some impressive plays there.

ya, a real lead off hitter would be great but the line up will come around.

its a tough start to the year, but with the good young pitching im not worries but its the first month. well see how things are next month.

He went from president back to coach then to ceo. He took over the front office in 01 and changed to board member in 09. Filling in several other roles in that time. He is far from a fly by front office manager. He essentially ran the team for 8 years. what exactly about clemmons makes you think he'd be the kind of guy to settle for a smile and hand shake education? besides in that era it was the communications degree. Not business. Brand ambassador? Hes a board member. Youre grasping and trying to hammer him into a niche to which he clearly does not fit. This isnt a certain nfl wash out DL who went to florida graduated and could hardly read.

Well coached the argos, which is basically running a business at the ground level. Then he was president and CEO as well, which is running a business, and a football business from the top. He also has a degree in economics from william & marry. If you want a face of the league, and a guy who isnt learning football/cfl on the fly but lives and breathes it idk how you could do any better.
