Ran a 4.29 at his pro-day They can both run a sub-4.3 40. 4.26 at Walker's UCLA pro day. 4.29 is Whitehead's best recorded time while working out for NFL teams. Walker also competed as a track star, did the hurdles at the Junior Olympics.

Nothing against Lawler but Walker impressed me in the games I've seen him in. Edited July 18, 20195 yr by MrFreakzilla Editing

Don't hot dog a first down for 2. Had he stood up and had the Argo reach in and grab the ball I could have even lived with it more. But to hold the ball out to signal first down (and do a jaunty flip with it, which he was on his way to doing before it got slapped from his hand) is just arrogance. But credit where credit is due, he made a great effort later on that non-TD pass attempt in dragging his feet. And it didn't cost us the game or anything. So forgiven, but not forgotten......yet.
July 18, 20195 yr comment_408540 Walker was my dark horse coming into camp...and watching his route running and smooth speed in and out of cuts and the fact he never dropped a thing confirmed it in my mind he was gonna stick. He has the ability to move at top speed like Lucky, and make moves with the ball at top speed something most guys can't do If teams are sleeping on him expect us to hit him on a deep shot if he gets reps in the offence
July 18, 20195 yr comment_408542 Completely disagree with the sentiment that this is a last chance game for Lawler. I don't think he's seen the same way by the team as he's seen around here. O'Shea is always looking at the full body of work and the big picture. Lawler is in this week because he has shown a lot in practice and in the games. He just seems a bit snakebitten to me. By my eye test he has all the tools to be a great all around receiver. And if you listen to some of the comments made about him in interviews it sounds like the team feels the same way.
July 18, 20195 yr comment_408543 yeah at worst he goes back to PR...we need to develop guys constantly for injury, and in case we need to replace an older guy with higher SMS hit...tho I'd hate to see Adams go, but isn't he a free agent after this season, and he may command a salary that doesn't work for us next year...so Lawler would be a nice replacement..as opposed from starting from scratch If you watch Lawlers college clips he made unreal catch after unreal catch

Dude can ball. Just needed to be placed a little better on that one. As someone who picked him for lock of the week last week I was also keenly aware that if they go four receivers, he is the one coming out. So he isn't always on the field getting opportunities. I hope he tears it up tomorrow
July 18, 20195 yr comment_408558 Walker, Adams, Matthews, Demski, Wolitarsky and Lawler. Where may I direct your ball 🏈

Never mind, just catching up on the thread. Looking forward to seeing an even faster guy that Lucky. Edited July 18, 20195 yr by J5V Catching up

July 19, 20195 yr comment_408659 So what's the deal with Matthews, why do I have a feeling that he'll be cut after this week with zero explanations?

That greatly concerns me. Everything from Bauming and Matthews made it seem like he was good to go. O'Shea even says he's healthy but they are going to still sit him. This concerns me greatly.
July 19, 20195 yr comment_408701 The dude ****** up his hand, why are we calling him a healthy scratch? They're giving him time to be fully healed before putting him in cause they got another crappy eastern opponent. Jesus. He is a healthy scratch the way Bighill was a healthy scratch last week. Get your heads outta your asses folks.

Get your heads outta your asses folks. On the radio they said O'Shea was asked and said Matthews was healed up and ready to go but that he will be a healthy scratch. Why wouldn't O'Shea say we just want to give him another week to heal up. Very fishy stuff. I assume since Walby thinks something is going outside of the injury that you would want him to get his head out of his ass?
July 19, 20195 yr comment_408714 Honestly, what does Walby know about anything inside the team at this point? I don't recall O'Shea proclaiming Matthews healed and good to go, I remember Matthews saying it, but Bighill said the same thing last week too. People are trying awfully hard to create a controversy out of nothing.
July 19, 20195 yr comment_408716 Wouldn’t surprise me if O’Shea was being extra cautious with Matthews at this point in the season. Even if Matthews is technically “healthy”, Bauming throwing around the term “healthy scratch” is extremely reckless.

Is a two week old broken finger considered “healthy” for a receiver? I dunno.
