  1. Moved from qb to slot wr too, got stuck behind derek carr. Looks like he improved with time in college. going from 56%, 21 tds 11 ints and 2293 yards in 11 games in 2015 to 64%, 31 tds 8 ints, 2702 yards in 12 games in 2016. Drills and hs footage isnt a great measuring stick. But he does show a really good release, and flashes really good touch. The finer ball placement though is really hit or miss. Some times hitting right in the numbers then throwing behind or low, or putting it out in front too much. With his level of experience and moving around that could easily come around. Seems like the perfect guy developmental guy. Looks like he scrambles to throw rather then a true dual threat. Doesnt really seem to have a glaring weakness. He looks like robert marve. But with out the ton of knee injures, and relative advanced age to experience. Should be fun to watch in camp and going forward to see how he develops.
  2. if you want a face for the league there is none better. I think that would make the position more of a figurehead then a commissioner in any other pro sports league. Course maybe its allready that way. I thought orridge did a good job. No one is gonna live up to cohon any time soon. We could do, and have done a whole lot worse. There were a bunch of changes i didnt like in the last few years. XPT, PI, etc but i think thats 99% the BOG and 1% the commish. The worst part of this is the rider fans are gonna be soo happy and think its because of his "hatred" of them. and picking on them.
  3. yeah really have to take hs footage with a grain of salt. Sounds like a guy with a high end tool set though. Also sounds like our prototype for a qb. Athletic, good size, big school back up with high up side who transfers to a small school to get play time etc. He got stuck behind david carr then went to a smaller d2 school and did well.
  4. idk if they will do the previous incarnation of loki as her dad. might be too over the head of casual movie fans. youre right, youre right. I think he nailed how most people feel. If they hadnt gone back on loki diying i think it would have been much better. and did a better job with the dark elfs.
  5. he is fast did you watch the tape? havent seen a DT that explosion (even in d2) since idk when. Even at that weight guys like him and butcher could run circles around jake thomas types.
  6. no, how heavy is travis bond? doug brown isnt exactly a replicatable player / situation either. how many 6'8 dts in the league. especially ones who play over the nose soo much as he did. Gaydosh is about the same but 6'3, tennant is 6'2 305, laurent is like 6'0 305 nevis is 6'2 and listed 301. This is all a similar body composition just taller and shorter. if any thing i bet a few of those shorter guys would be much heavier scaled up. What was that DT we had from ott who was like 5'9 300+? He started on his hands and knees. The nfl scout report said he could gain weight and not only not lose athleticism but gain as he was a sub matured 320. People really get stuck on silly numbers over all in height and weight instead of going case by case. Athletes vary soo greatly you cant say you need to be built as 6'4 300 etc

    Agree, expected little of this card and wasnt disappointed. couple good tilts, nothing much more then youd see on world star though. To be honest rumble seemed self defeated, it happens a lot in fighting that a guy beats him self. even before he steps into the ring. it is however not common for the main event of a pro ppv. Pearl is in line for the ufc hype machine. Shes better then thug rose or vanzant. Not any where near the top tier of female fighter though. http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2017/4/10/15253692/ufc-210-daniel-cormier-weigh-in-controversy-mma-news A break down of how the towel trick DC used works. You dont lean and put weight down on it, you just use it to carry a tiny bit of the weight from your arms. He 100% deserves to be stripped of the belt. (a belt he still hasnt earned imop) But then what a teixiera gus interim interim match? dc and jon jones for a none title event after that? dc manuwa and jj OSP2 / rua? That divsion is such a dogs breakfast. Worse then heavy weight now. Never thought id say such a thing. Im soo tired of the BS matches and weak @$$ cards.
  8. I wouldnt think they would allow him to with it in process come the combine.
  9. its too bad this wasnt sorted out in time for the combine.
  10. at 6'5 320 he wont have to shed weight. Especially not with that level of explosiveness.
  11. or old grey swish.
  12. yeah its peanut butter sand which meals every day. Their PR money is really sad.
  13. This is true, though i thought the thor movies were better then most people it certainly isnt the crowning gem of the mcu. Id say they were better then the iron man movies 2 and 3.
  14. shared some stuff on him in the draft thread watching his video, he looks like a HS senior playing pop warner. going to be interesting to see what comes of him. He seems listed as 6'5 320 in both the afl and his stint with the giants.
  15. Randy Colling found his calling as a Canadian after a rule change and knowledge from a current Arena league head coach with Canadian Football League scouting experience. Five years after graduating from Gannon University the 26-year-old defensive lineman has obtained Canadian Citizenship and been added to the 2017 CFL draft class. When Colling finished his senior season with the Golden Knights he would not have been considered a non-import under the collective bargaining agreement at the time. But in May 2014, when the CBA changed and allowed Canadian Citizens to qualify as nationals that changed the dynamic for Colling. However, it took recognition from Cleveland Gladiators head coach Ron Selesky, who was a U.S. scout with the Saskatchewan Roughriders that found linebacker Jeff Knox Jr. in 2015, to start the process for Colling. “I didn’t know he could qualify as a Canadian until he told me that his dad was born in Canada. I remembered seeing the article about how [Garrett] Waggoner got his Canadian Citizenship and they had contacted the Minister of Sport up there and got their process expedited. As soon as Randy told me the light went on: ‘Waggoner.’ I used that as a blueprint,” Selesky says. “If I would’ve known earlier that his dad had been born in Canada we could’ve jumped on it a lot earlier. When we first got him he had just turned 23.” Colling’s father and grandfather, Kirby and Ken, were born in Hamilton, grew up Ticats fans. Kirby taught his son the “Oskee Wee Wee” chant, still wears a Ticats winter coat and owns a Darren Flutie jersey among others, even after he moved to Buffalo as a teenager. “I remember visiting Hamilton when I was 12 years old because my dad wanted to show me where he grew up. He told me about the Tiger-Cats and we went to the team shop where I got some gear,” Colling recalls. Although, that didn’t help Colling’s citizenship process speed up. It took over a year for the final paperwork to be done, which came three days after the deadline to qualify for the 2016 CFL supplemental draft. “My Cleveland teammate Brian Brikowski, who played for the Montreal Alouettes [2014-2015], he was telling me how much of a difference it would make in me getting my Canadian citizenship,” Colling, eligible for the 2017 CFL pick-fest, says. “You can make more money and have a lot longer career.” Back in 2011, the defensive lineman finished his senior season at Gannon University with 88 tackles, 21.5 tackles for loss, nine sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery in 11 games. He was a Gene Upshaw NCAA Division II Lineman of the Year award finalist. After going unselected in the NFL draft that year, Giants and Jets mini-camps didn’t yield a contract, Colling signed with the Gladiators and played there for the 2012 and 2013 seasons. For 2014 he signed a futures contract with the Bills in January that year, but he was released in May after Buffalo tried to turn him into an offensive lineman. “Where I came out of college, Gannon University, no player had ever signed an NFL deal. One guy before me went to a mini-camp but never signed a deal,” Colling says. After that, it was back to Cleveland where Colling continued to develop into an elite Arena league defensive lineman. Last year for the Gladiators he registered 19.5 tackles and 4.5 sacks in 16 games, which earned him All-Arena defensive first team accolades. And he was an emergency offensive lineman too. “He’s got the ability to go up there and dominate – incredible first step. He’s got all this experience and he’s only 26 years old. He’s got several good years in front of him,” Selesky says. “The biggest adjustment for him initially is just going to be getting over the shock of when he walks out onto the field. He’s going from playing on the smallest football field to the biggest one. Four of our game fields fit on one NFL game field, so take that and then add the extra length, width and end zones up in the CFL.” Three CFL teams have called Selesky to get information on the intriguing defensive lineman. Meanwhile, Colling has spoken with every team across the three-down league. “Big, active and can play all the positions along the defensive line,” one CFL scouts says. “He needs to lose weight for our game, but his size, rush ability, toughness and versatility will be an asset to any team.” Often the CFL takes shots for the minimum salary checking in at $52,000 for an 18 game season, but it’s a substantial jump for a player like Colling who would make around $15,600 in an AFL season ($975 per game approximately). Colling’s looking forward to the pay bump and challenge, the three-down game presents, but he’s got a jump in terms of knowing what it’s like to take down a CFL quarterback. “I played against Trevor Harris [Edinboro University] in college,” Colling says. “Trevor was a few years older than me, but I remember getting him a few times.” Reply With Quote http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1174041-shining-a-light-on-the-5-most-unknown-2012-nfl-undrafted-free-agents Guy sure sounds interesting. 6'4 320 (listed as 6'5 by the giants) listed as having played nose in college, and i imagine his AFL experience being very similar. But being a guy reputedly athletic enough to play 3-4 end in the nfl he certainly is interesting.
  16. this looks fantastic. i was hyped for the world breaker hulk / ragnarok story line but seeing this im expecting easily the best thor movie.
  17. not a fan of his, seen too many turds like his big board. But hes normally better then that.
  18. Thats the truth. Guys who start out hot are seldom more then just on a streak. The bottom really fell out on liriano. ST numbers dont mean much but still. Hope he manages to get it back together. Though at worst hed be a very good lefty out of the pen. The young pitchers sure are worth the watch alone. Stro seems back on pace after a rough year last year. With him, estrada sanchez and happ im not worried about the starters for the first time in ages.

    That fights weigh in couldnt have been more fishy if they did them at a fish market. DCs camp said he had excessive sweat and weighed in up stairs on the money. Only he wasnt sweaty when he weighed in. The towel lean has been known about for decades in the wrestling community, where DC happens to come from. (doesnt seem like it would work but it does.) Rumble coming in under? I heard in the lead up that hes leaner then ever so im not surprised. Once upon a time he did make 171. The fact he was down by the same amount dc was up? did they happen to use a 7 dollar scale from walmart? Digital scales are notoriously bad. One thing is for sure, dc looked every bit of 58 when he hit to scales. Despite only being 38. ("only") The boobgate event, how is it a problem now but not when tate fought in ny hmmmmm. Over all its a weak card for a fox event. for ppv this is laughable.
  20. must be the grey goose and fried chicken.
  21. he reminds me of don mathews maybe he will end up in mtl. Maybe if reilly goes down and franklin isnt what hes hyped up to... but even then the esks are still hands down better this year then the riders.
  22. he certainly enabled it, no doubt. Being an S&M sports fan (bombers, jets, jays, raptors etc) it just makes it more worth while when the team does well. Atleast thats what i keep telling my self year after year after year after..... I expect the bombers to atleast have a much improved season on what weve had to deal with pre turn around last year. I think handily worse off this year then last year. Hamilton is still laying their hopes and prayers on a glass qb, the riders havent made the massive strides that they need to to turn it around, and while i like the front office changes in TO i think it comes too late. While we have one of the best NI groups in the league and only stand to get Much better. And weve made strong veteran pick ups to continue our own up tick. We clearly are not the power house team like calgary, and we dont have the bikini appeal of the leos, but I think we are still in a great position to challenge for 2nd to 3rd overall in the league during the regular season.
  23. yeah at the post season presser thing walters did he seemed to think it was a lock he'd be in camp this year. Hate the guys lack of experience to age, but love the raw talent. If he is back he should be interesting to watch in camp/pre season.
  24. I think its a lock that he'd be available at 6. But a better chance that hes gone at 15 then still on the board. Hes more toolsy then vandervoort but with a fraction of the polish. I like his head set and he seems like a smart player who loves football. not just a raw athlete. I think either would be a favorite going into camp to start. I would think behar gives us more on teams then vandervoort. I dont see vandervoort falling below 4 or behar going above 6. If hes in the same talent tier as whats left at 6 aside from strong nfl interest guys id be pretty happy if we got him. Id be shocked and thrilled if we got him at 15.
