Speed and tburgess nailed it pretty well. people hate prevent defense. playing give up defense near the end of games to try and win is brutal. If they over hauled the games abit to make them less gimmicky offensive mashings, and focused on second tier cities and lower I bet theyd do a whole lot better.

Brain ortega came out and said he offered to fight khabib on short notice. Damn I wish they had gone with that instead of holloway.

mhm. very much the situation i could see. itll be interesting to see.

This is in part a good point. I think it needs to be clarified that its the NFL that is declining. Its of course not in any danger. But i feel the ncaa and hs levels are steady as she goes. A start up league could have a better chance now then ever at carving out a living as a sub nfl level league. The nfl has lost market share, that means more is available. That said the chances of actually capitalizing on that is exceedingly slim. The NFL is a financial institute. Its monetary entertainment. The room for growth is in cultural institutes like the CFL. The amount of CFL you can sell to americans with out a team is pretty limited though. If they brought back some thing like the USFL, and planted it in smaller US markets that dont have a chance at a NFL franchise they could build some thing. But getting the money, and tv deals with that is very hard. two fledgling start up leagues also pretty much ensures they will fail. UFC on fox isnt a good measuring stick, especially last year. The ufc has done a worse and worse job of putting decent shows on for ufc on fox. The last year and a half has been worse yet compounded by the amount of money fights, championship/star turn over, and scandal. Soccer is here to stay, and gigantic with kids. But I think youd have a better chance of opening up two successful nfl alternative pro football leagues in the us then of getting soccer into the top 4 pro sports in the us.

Maybe. I could see him being an assistant to hall though.

Yeah doesnt seem like its a joke... i keep hoping it is. Brett Okamoto ✔@bokamotoESPN I'm told the injury to Tony Ferguson was literally caused by a trip. The freak accident of all freak accidents. He was walking, saw someone he wasn't expecting to see, veered sharply to say hello and tripped. .......

Imo unless you have a system changing ratio breaker at another position OL is the way to go for a team like mtl. Best case scenario, trade down for multiple picks. But its mtl. They are in full on joe mack mode, do what ever they want.

On pure guessing power I would suspect they are either hurt, or NI paper work problems and possible supp draft guys. Or they arent interesting in pursuing football. Loiselle looks to have had another injury riddled year. Still 28 tackles 6.5 tfl. He was on the the combine list, but didnt seem to be in attendance. He did attend his teams pro day however. https://www.wagnerathletics.com/news/2018/3/28/football-wagner-pro-day-recap.aspx http://3downnation.com/2018/03/01/cfl-releases-national-combine-list/ https://www.wagnerathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=8707 See in the pro day stuff that they are saying loiselle will be in attendance at the cfl combine and is a top prospect here, but it was two days after the combine ended up here. Maybe they didnt understand when it was? Also saw some thing about him being in their finance department at wagner in cryptocurency. It looks like brayden lenius left the program to transfer, didnt seem to get a lot of usage in 17.

I think simonise will go before the end of the 2nd round, but 5th seems high.

The anthony joshua fight was a real disappointment. its a slap in the face to mma how much money the bald one is offering him to box vs how much some champs make in the ufc. Floyd seems more and more serious about mma, its going to be interesting to see who he fights. We are one week out from ufc 223. So far so good, no injury pull out yet. I just want to see mcg fight the winner of khabib vs ferguson. (my money is on khabib) hope this is trolling. i forgot it was april 1st when i first heard this...

Yeah they cut out soo much of the set up, and parzival beating gates finding the first gate it softened things up a bit. Oh a portal opened up one day and we have a race now. A lot of the 80s type references in games moves music etc took a hit. Which is surprising because thats soo in fashion these days. I can get shifting some of his story around to other characters, and to making them more of a group though. over seas is always the big money in movies. Spielberg is pretty much a licence to print money any way.

wasnt ali g / borat et al connecting to playing freddy mercury? iirc queen wanted it to be a movie about queen and not a biopic of freddy mercury and kept blocking the films from being made. Watch ready player one last night. As an avid fan of the book, and despite being anal as all hell i very much enjoyed it. They stray from the path a considerable amount with the movie. Mostly with the games, specific references, and one or two sub plots. But If I still enjoyed it (and i very much did) none book fans and none anal people are probably loving it. More teen and older version of wreck it ralph.

In general im not a fan of re boots, re treads etc. And i think TKK would have been better if it was a one off movie instead of a series. But some thing about this spin off keeps pulling me back. Ill have to check out atleast the first episode. Im sure you could use a VPN and sign into YT as a yank to get red. But yeah streaming boxes, smart tvs, and streaming sites are soo far out in front its un real. Its been some thing like 7 years since i cut cable and even at the same price as before I wouldnt go back. I watch soo much less junk (especially in the form of commercials) and with out scheduling constraints I could never go back.

Retains for now... New mutants has potential. They should let the rest die skip dark phoenix and use it to jump in a new direction. A less crappy one. Saw about half the trailer for daphne and velma, a scooby doo prequel some how also set in near future. And i feel like i need a shower. Like kissed a rider fan dirty. gross.

Thats a good point too. A lot of guys listed sizes are skewed by just being listed as what the request, or what they came in at when they first came into the league. The bombers seem to post their charts based on guys weigh ins at camp. which is several notches above most teams. Even that though isnt near perfect.

That in it self no. that said 5 lbs of lean mass is a **** ton on a refined athletes body. For a trim athlete who already has a matured build and limited frame (the type of guy whose a tweener up here db-lb, db, wr and most rbs) with out juice to add 5 pounds of muscle with out hindering performance would be time consuming. But thats assuming a close to athletically maxed out build, etc. Some guys could gain that in no time. some guys itd take a year and a half to do so. Does 5 lbs of muscle make that big a difference? Against OL you are already out soo much weight not really. Against other rbs it can. If you are 5lbs of lean mass under the weight of the rbs you face youll notice it. Same if you are 5 lbs over. If you have the work ethic and or football IQ like Mos, unless that other guy can match you those 5lbs mean a whole lot less. Its kind of a whole lot of nothing right now, just speculation. He looks like a wil though. But he could have the flexibility to play a few positions. Its like the loffler to wil talks etc. Personally I think corney is more then fast/quick enough to cut it at mlb. Especially if he went back down to his drafted weight. Though I could just as easily see him coming in even bigger this year and moving to DT. Consider the jumps in power ranges in combat sports. the jump from 155-171 is gigantic. thats 16 lbs obviously, but you get the point. Milt wasnt the tallest or heaviest (or even the fastest) wr of his era. He was the most refined athlete though. Far more athletes have that physical level of refinement today then back then. Match him up against a similar quality db and knock 5lbs off him to bring him down to a more human level of athlete and it becomes much harder for him.

yeah that sounds about right. The larger mlber is kinda of old school now. It really depends on the athlete. Its probably possible to get it done down in the 210 range, and up in the 250+ range. Though both would be harder. But if you are strong/fast enough it could work. The nfl has and has had some exceptional freak athletes who are small and ridiculously strong and big + crazy fast. In a best case scenario, when you notice them. Its when you dont notice them because theyve been swallowed up by a lineman or blocking back, or been run over by a large back like messam. An end, wil and mac in the cfl has to be strong and tough enough to survive the lumps they will take when they end up 1 on 1 with a OL. I dont think the league they play in in college is as big a deal as some. Big sec type schools do have better over all talent / athletes. But that goes both ways. You play with better and have more covered up. Because while the level is higher, its still a lot of raw guys who are either talented or athletic. Not a ton of guys who are both. I also dont think the big schools style of play synchronizes as well with up here. If he has what it takes to cut it up here, we will see soon enough. If he doesnt, it wont matter what position he plays. And if he does, he will work his way into a niche. Hes gonna be interesting to watch and see how he pans out.

Its true heart can over come size in football, with in reason. Mlber is a heart and systems position. Sherrit is certainly an exception but you dont have to be 250 or even 240 to play mlber.

Yeah pretty much. Hes still young and I hope he figures it out. I look at kozachuk (his hair) and think yeah he fits the bomber mold. I mean who else do we have to rock some awesome locks???

Hes a pure upside pick, since the fall out with the drug test he hasnt seemed to put any of the effort into football required. If you could get the most out of all the wrs potential, he'd be the best one. But he might have the poorest chance of ever coming close to that.

Might just be me, or a fondness of those guys/position but it seems like the CIS really churns out those big body Hback type guys.

Id like to see the amount benched scale with position/weight. Just doesnt make sense to me having a 200 lbs wr who will face 200 lbs or less dbs, and 220 ish sams/Ss bench the same as a linemen. Kinda of a peeve of mine. havent watched any drills or tests yet, looks like a few guys put up really good jump numbers though. Its great to see the over all athleticism at skill positions moving up. Any one at the event? how is the atmosphere / presentation?

Yeah that isnt gonna happen. Short of us finding a great MLBer, JSK is pretty much penned in at that spot now. From the video he's clearly a hard hitter, he certainly doesnt look to have elite or high end speed. His jumping is pretty impressive though. Weak 40 and strong jumping hints at a guy who is quick off the line but not straight line down field break away fast. Speed translates a bit different up here as well. I dont mean speedsters, but with the wide field and with out the normal tackle box some guys flourish while other guys flounder with similar speed level.

Size isnt what id worry about. If you have the work ethic and heart 210 can get it done. At wil. Our DTs eat up soo much of the OL, and our pass rushers are soo dangerous it would help a ton. Its tough to say what he will be in camp. You never know when a guy trent corneys' and comes in with 12 lean pounds added. body constitution is a big deal as well. Two guys can be the same weight and height while having totally different builds. We cant say what his build is like the coaches and scouts know and or will come camp. He could be strong enough for wil, he might need to add a lil muscle. If he does I dont think he'd be far off. Iirc Brain clark was 6'2 220 in an era that featured much more heavy set action and running game.

verily. Its funny i was never a thor fan growing up. I thought he was pretty lame. And I think the SJW movement of marvel has been lame. They have had a lot of back lash for it, and horrible sub numbers. BUT thor the unworthy was a fantastic story line and thats what really got me into thor in the marvel universe. If any one wants a little bit to read, check out gor the god butcher through thor the un worthy. A lot of movie story line tie ins as well. Until they prove other wise, I expect more reys parents were nobodies who sold her for beer money. I hope they turn over a new leaf and prove me wrong. The books, and animated content has been fantastic.
