WinnipegGordo Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 6 minutes ago, Fatty Liver said: Have you really forgotten who Zach is and his history with concussions? Intentionally running the ball should never be in the game plan, in fact he should be fined every time he does so. For sure, I just thought it would be easy for the dline to scheme against Zach as they just need to pin their ears back and go get him in the pocket. I do wanna see Zach roll out of the pocket more than he does though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Schoen get a lot of reps in training camp? I know he never played much in the pre season. I mean, either we believe in bad luck or all these injuries comes down to prepping the players & coaching. Edited June 27 by SpeedFlex27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never saw the game so no idea how he got hurt. Still. so many injuries it has to fall on the Head Coach at some point unless they're all non contact injuries. I did see Haba go down & it looked like no one touched him. So, who knows??? This isn't normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you might be over exaggerating things plus I doubt this guy would be that dominate. I think it’s funny that prior to this article nobody except prob a few had any clue he existed now he’s some dominant future stud receiver.

He's good enough to get a legit shot as an American player. Easy 1st round pick. Mardner was 2nd overall in a great draft. Very comparable. Top receiver on a run heavy team at NDSU, weak QB in 2022 who got better in 2023 (QB likely to be CFL prospect too, Cam Miller still at NDSU). Guy that was used lots downfield, screens, intermediate, full route tree. I'd expect there'd be half the league or more bidding their 1st rounder.

I wouldn't be worried with overall fitness of most of these guys whether they got "reps" or not and certainly not Schoen, but your statement makes no sense to me. Say a receiver showed up 40 pounds overweight and they put him on the field. That guy is far more likely to have his knee or achilles blow up. Happens to us out of shape middle aged people all the time when we try to be athletic again. Noeller and wbbfan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a big fan of running but then stopped for 10 years, tried doing it again and first time, sprained my ankle badly. Partially my fault and the cities fault for not fixing potholes but still. Definitely get injured easier now than age 20 even 25. I’m lucky I’ve never broken anything but I did injure my acl playing hockey years ago and I still feel it a bit today. I think it’s more mental tho there. Edited June 28 by Goalie wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 Perhaps you could make the argument that the new turf has played a role. I think if they all happened at PA stadium you certainly can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if they all happened at PA stadium you certainly can. Was wondering that as well, heard the field was still pretty bouncy and had a lot of give, it's a crazy idea but may be there is some correlation to the injuries. 3-4 years ago the Riders also had an outbreak of leg injuries at the start of TC, could be they were turf related? 7 hours ago, WinnipegGordo said: For sure, I just thought it would be easy for the dline to scheme against Zach as they just need to pin their ears back and go get him in the pocket.

You're not incorrect, Fajardo and Adams have both demonstrated the benefits of being able to run when necessary, even MBT is getting in on the act.

wbbfan Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 4.58 40 which is more than enough for up here 36.5” vert 7.14 3 cone 4.51 shuttle 9’11 broad. You’d ideally like to see a bit more jump but with that frame and a wing span to match and what looks like tremendous ability to catch in tight spaces this guy should be a gooder. I could see Zach loving that guy, and if you play him out of the slot good luck defending him. Compare his numbers to clercius 6’7 203 to 6’2 217. 4.59 34” 10’9 7.28 4.57. Aside from clercius bring strong for his build/wr with 15 reps and the broad numbers they are very close. The outlier of the draft, mci put up 4.51 35.5” 10’2 6.71 4.19.
