Noeller Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming #Bombers add two Internationals: 5'11" running back Da’Rel Scott, and 6'2" 255lb DE/LB Derrell Johnson.
gbill2004 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 Scott is a very solid signing...I believe he started a few games for the NY Giants either last year or the year before. He's 5'11, 211lbs and his 40 time is 4.34.

MOBomberFan Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) Scott is a very solid signing...I believe he started a few games for the NY Giants either last year or the year before. He's 5'11, 211lbs and his 40 time is 4.34. From Wikipedia: -Scott only recorded five carries for 15 yards in 11 games played. -At the NFL Combine, Scott ran the 40 in 4.34 seconds, the fastest time recorded by any of the participating running backs. -In one preseason game he had one carry for a 97-yard touchdown, and in another preseason game ran a fake punt in 65 yards for a touchdown. Sounds like he has some speed to burn and a knack for outrunning every other person on the field. EDIT: the 5 carries for 15 yards in 11 games played was just 2011. Looks like he did start a game or two in 2013 after all: http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/14087/darel-scott Edited April 9, 2015 by MOBomberFan SPuDS 1

Mr. Perfect Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 I guess people didn't learn anything with Grigsby and getting excited over a 40 yard dash time. Look at his yards per carry. He also has a history of injuries through his time in Maryland which carried over to his time with the Giants hence why he was out of the NFL in three years. He also lacks an ability to break tackles.

gbill2004 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 Yep some other RB had a good 40 time and sucked, so that automatically means this guy sucks because he also has a good 40 time. I love the logic in here.
Atomic Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 Big linebacker... More of a DE up here. Da'Rel Scott.... Yes I remember him from the NFL. I always get excited about the ex NFL'ers. Doesn't always work out but it feels like a win when we sign them.
JuranBoldenRules Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 We'll see about the running back. Interesting to have another Maryland back in camp. Guy he split carries with at Maryland, Davin Meggett, was on our PR last season for a bit. Wonder if there's some connection there with McManus or Goveia. Some of these guys might not even make it to Winnipeg either. Probably going to get a long look at mini-camp. Atomic 1
SPuDS Posted April 10, 2015 Report Posted April 10, 2015 All i know is that Im a big fan of how many of these guys who aren't even guaranteed a tc spot. ...have time in the nfl under their belts.
M.O.A.B. Posted April 10, 2015 Report Posted April 10, 2015 Derrell Johnson, OLB, East Carolina (HT: 6’1 1/2”, WT: 260 lbs.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP0Tt8eA5sM#t=11 Positives Well-built with proper bulk. Plays with great balance and pad level. Quick first step off the ball from multiple defensive stances. Active and strong with his hands in all facets of his game. Has a plan as a pass-rusher and doesn't waste steps coming off the ball. Powerful beyond his means as a rusher due to leverage and ability to convert speed to power. Uses his hands well to ward off blockers after he gets into a gap. Has potential as a blitzer due to effectiveness splitting gaps and using explosiveness. Gets off blocks well despite lack of length. Maintains gap integrity by positioning himself well against blocks and finding the football early. Plays with high effort level in pursuit. Noted as a hard worker in the weight room and conditioning program at ECU. Experience in multiple defensive fronts. Negatives Severe lack of length, with arms right around 30”. Very little experience in pass coverage. Limited mover in terms of dropping from the line of scrimmage; must play downhill. Stiff hips limit coverage potential and ceiling of his athleticism. Easily negated if a pass-blocker gets his hands on the frame of Johnson. Not enough variance to his pass-rush moves; limited by short arms. Doesn't have great long speed to finish around the corner or close in the open field. Doesn't break down in space as a tackler and will miss on occasion. Lacks great range in pursuit to chase down ball-carriers. Little power as a tackler to quickly get ball-carriers to the ground. Not remarkably productive for a small-conference pass-rusher. May not clearly have a best position as a professional. Collegiate Statistics Year Team Tackles TFL Sacks 2010 ECU 40 4.5 1 2011 ECU 39 5.5 3 2012 ECU 62 11 6.5 2013 ECU 79 13 7 Personal Notes 2012 second team All-Conference USA. 2013 second team All-Conference USA. Four-year starter for the Pirates; switched from end to outside linebacker when defensive scheme changed in 2011 season. East-West Shrine Game participant. Overall Derrell Johnson turned in a solid senior season, headlined by fine showings against Virginia Tech and North Carolina. He has shown some stellar traits through the process. He’s a physical specimen in terms of build and raw power. That plays into his functional strength as a defender who always has leverage on blockers. He’s also active with his hands. His ability to become a better player than he is now is the biggest question mark. As a pass-rush specialist who lacks optimal height and length, he may only be able to go so far. His unique height-weight build could mean trouble at a traditional linebacker position. Defenses that employ a 3-4 scheme should be interested in Johnson’s services as a depth player. Contributions on special teams will be very important for Johnson as an NFL player. source: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2034026-derrell-johnson-nfl-draft-2014-highlights-scouting-report-more
