Thats for sure. A fight like melendez, iaquinta, or poirier would be fantastic. Fighting 1-3 fringe guys on an under card isnt going to get him any where in the LW division though. Its a real meat grinder.

It was like victor szaz masquerading as the joker. The reason heath ledgers joker was soo good and soo well received imop is he went off by him self delved deep into it and crafted it out of him self. Leto's screamed of costume designer and production and leto and too many influences. It just ended up like a tacky christmas ornament or a new building on the vegas strip.

Trent corneys measurables are insane. Behars are good. I would be pretty happy if we got him at 6 or traded the 1st down a bit and got him there. Not as technical as vandervoort. More athletic. I think both guys have a chance to be good cfl players and productive quick.

The Most Important Passing Stat - 2nd Down Yardage?
% is good, but you have to temper it with yards per completion. Thats the difference between a willy / nichols passing at a 65+ % and a khari passing at a 55-60% range. Willy was like 8-9 YPC nichols 9-11 and khari 14-16.

Kahlen Branning
He does, and hes one of our most physical players. But its football. Go down the line and you will see more knee, and and shoulder surgery scars on the roster then TDs in a record year. I would worry more about guys who avoid contact getting hurt then those who initiate.

Waggoner could be a candidate as well. He was a S in college and BC was going to sign him as such. Similar size, similar skill set, similar background as well. Loffler is all here comes the boom though, and havent seen that yet from waggoner. Imop at this moment he would be our best NI option at S. That or He takes the spot of Mo and Mo goes back to S. If fogg had the discipline and sense for he would be great at S. Crazy fast play maker able to just play center field and make stuff happen. He had enough issues covering at DB though. Pretty much.

morgan was also 4.5 and plays faster then his 40. Im not holding my breath on either stealing any starting jobs any time soon but im happy to have the depth makes for great competition.

Dunno this is a team that once started dave donaldson. Im not writing it off but im not betting on it atm either. You can never have enough NI dbs. With the leaps and bounds NI talent is improving with each year thats true of all positions i guess. Branning here looks pretty good, i wouldnt go after wright with either first. We would benefit a lot more from a wr, dl, lb or ol in the first. After that bpa imop. Wright does look good though.

The one thing morgan doesnt lack is game speed.

He is young and has the up side time will tell. For this year we have a pretty deep defensive backfield assuming new guys from last year continue to produce. Next year in football epecially the cfl is like 10 years from now in human years who knows.

CFL Draft
when did dobie take over the bisons? was it AD or BC? I dont remember a previous coach. Certainly in the last few years the talent level has spiked for the bisons, and cis in general.

CFL Draft
Yeah i think you nailed it. Thats a gutsy prediction. But of course no one will remember by then if you are wrong. The time after their 2nd camp down south, is probably the most likely for guys like him to fall between the cracks and come up here though.

The TV Thread
I tend to agree that the supporting cast was stronger then the hunam. Ireland was s3 iirc. And yeah it was the turn down point. If they had ended it with the FBI womans death at the end of s2 it would have been soo much better. certainly a case of vision and ideals getting in the way of good story telling. Drea de matteo who acted in both was probably the next best character. They had potential with supporting gangsters like paulie and silvio but seemed to try to piss it away as much as possible. But when you put ideology before quality thatll happen. I havent watched boardwalk empire yet. Its on the list to get around to though. It sounds good and i hear nothing but good things about it.

I think gray is a lifer down south sadly for us.

Trying to make sense of the cfl draft before it happens can have that effect on you He doesnt have the size or raw athletic numbers the nfl looks for at edge. Hes too small for a nose down there and his physicality is what really comes and goes. His consistency isnt just scare the nfl away its really scary. Look at those clips and ask your self how does a guy with that level of talent sit on the bench for the better part of 2 years. Then think how is he going to fit in to the MOS program. Hes supposed to be the SAFE pick too lol. The guy that will be here in camp and around for a contract at least. If we wanted to gamble we could do it on far more talented guys. that must be the one i was thinking of. It is a small sample size. They could be down here sooner rather then later. So could mulumba. Or they could not be. 1 thing id bet on with a guy who gets bonus money, hes going to spend bare minimum 1 camp down south. But probably 2.

I love the genre, soa's taper down after the first 2-3 or so seasons was greater then sopranos but with a better ending and a much stronger first stretch. Sopranos i dont find to have such a strong stretch at any point. Id say hands down the supporting acting and writting was a lot better on soa. James gandolfini is truly top tier in that genre. Up there with the best from the godfather. Despite writing that was less then his acting. Aside from him it was real house wives of new jersey.

CFL Draft
In an article linked earlier dunk gave stats that NIs that get guaranteed money tend to stick a good while. The knock is that out side of the highlights there isnt much else to see over 3 years. DL with an inconsistent motor are kind of scary to draft. Especially no1. http://3downnation.com/2016/09/15/breaking-2016-cfl-scouting-bureau/ "Canadian defensive lineman Faith Ekakitie performed for scouts at Iowa’s pro day on Monday – three CFL teams attended, Lions, Argos and Alouettes." Found that kind of interesting. @mike mulumba is a lber.
-
CFL Draft
The problem with ekakitie isnt the highlights, its the low lights and the gaps between. First 2 years at iowa, 10 games 15 tackles. 1 sack over 3 years. At points his senior year they struggled with the run as well.

Best value for season seats
I really dont think there is a bad seat in the joint. Id go up and as much to the middle as you can afford. Could make a joke about the yards our D gives up, and our low TD numbers making the best seats in the end zone. But its a new year and hope springs eternal. (till the first loss any way)
