Newsome was a name I wouldn't expect. Hope he has it together. I really thought he was turning into a good player 

6.5 sacks his rookie year. Top 5 among rookies. Had a huge strip sack on Peyton in a playoff game. Remember Talks of getting 10 sacks as a sophomore, and then proceeded to have one the worst seasons for a second year player I've ever seen. Pretty disappointing.

I was upset that he was let go after his weed charge. He had a bad soph season but we had no one behind him. I was equally upset when we let Freeman walk for peanuts.

I was in Canada last week and tried to watch a game.  They were broadcasting in French which made it even more confusing.   

 

Surpried to see Chick still playing.  Wonder what ever happened to Sam Gig...something or other?

Those peanuts turned into a suspension for PED's

Does this mean Grigson was a Great (CFL) GM?

 

 

Give me three steps, give me three steps, give me three steps towards the door!  Give me three steps, and you'll never see me no more!!!!!!!

Some of those guys were before RG, others were long shots and a few "played" their way out of the organization

He had Great on the field talent but made some mistakes off the field

Weed? I can't recall. If he had solid NFL talent and we cut him for that reason, some other team having lower standards would have picked him up for a look. Maybe he was facing year long suspension and teams just said not worth the flack. Idk

He was picked by Seattle after the Colts waived him on a 1year contract. He was facing a 10 game suspension for the 15 season for violation of the Substance Abuse Policy and no one picked him up

Wow, Grigson should be a GM in the CFL! 

 

This is what I said during the black period where he got fired. He scouts CFL talent really well. His issue was that he couldn't consistently scout NFL level talent. Too many project players that never did anything in the NFL and would have been better served as CFL guys. He's with the Browns but if that doesn't work I think a CFL team should hand him the keys to their franchise.

Older thread I realize, but I think that some of you guys might enjoy this: Duron Carter with a great catch yesterday, 

 

He made a few other great catches, but before this one, he made an incredibly boneheaded catch. Running a pattern out to the sideline, he caught the ball in the air, but well in bounds. Only one foot in bounds is required in the CFL. Easy-peasy, any CFL receiver in the league could drag a foot on that play, but not Carter. He stretches out a leg and lands out of bounds for no catch. Brain switched off.

The last part is why he is in the CFL not NFL today

Exactly and why I included it. Up until this game he has been practically non-existant, sitting a fourth in stats amongst the receivers just on the Riders roster. League wide, he had fallen off the bottom of the board. He has a pretty big salary for the CFL and had done nothing to earn it so far this season. You could see the resentment in the body language of his teammates. 

Then he has a game like this. If he could have kept his head in the game and his butt out of trouble, he has the physical assets to be a no. 1 or 2 receiver on any NFL team. Instead he shows up for three of four games a year in the CFL.

Remember how upset the forum was when he was cut to the PS? People swore some team was going to snatch him up. No one ever did....

Agreed he has been very non existent this season

I had high hopes for him 

 

I thought he got way too much stock because of his last name. Seemed no better than your average 6th round receiver on tape.

The problem with players like Carter is they frequently don't play up to their capabilities. They coast along on their physical gifts, then all of a sudden they wake up and we see what they really could have been. Then they goes back to sleep for the rest of the game, or the next few games - or the rest of their short careers. 

Despite having had some great games for Montreal, they cut him because of his inconsistencies and his attitude. Jones in Saskatchewan signed him, just like he picked up Vince Young, hoping he could get something out of him. Young ended up going the same route as every other ex-NFL QB not named Flutie. Unless Carter can start producing like this game, on a reasonably regular basis, I'm sure Carter will be joining Young in the "out-of-football" crowd by season's end.

    • It’s unfortunate when they just got their first win. If Lewis and paye can’t go we basically only have one DE. No rotation so Steelers will just wear this term down. I was do excited for this game now I am really mad. I was really looking forward to it. The offense might be able to make up for defense but not if Kelly and smith can go.
    • This is where quality of your coach is so important.  And I think Shane is a quality coach to handle this situation.  Also I agree he is doing it right.  It's ugly, but he is balancing a big investment at QB with his job security which is very tough.   Running QBs often reach that point where the staff decides they are never going to learn to win from the pocket, and it is then you see the scheme revert back to college type approach and general simplicity to allow them to translate to the field.  But to get to that point you need to at least give the QB the opportunity.  Because once they do reach that point the team will usually be looking for another QB.   The way you build a perennial winner is finding a QB who can give you an edge from the pocket.  Given that, mobility and off schedule instincts are an advantage and desired.  But the latter will never trump the former because if your QB needs to be in space to see the defense and make his throws then defenses will be able to shut him down in the playoffs.  QBs like that don't win 3 or 4 games in a row against the best defenses in the league, which is required to hoist a Lombardi.   I mean look at Allen.  He developed the ability to win from the pocket.  He has had good teams around him.  He is a dominant run threat.  And he still has come up short in the playoffs.  When there are guys like him and Mahomes with rosters around them, you aren't gonna get past them with a QB who can't do the job from the pocket.
    • I compared AR to Mike Vick recently but didn't get alot of reaction.   AR may never fix his accuracy issues like Vick who struggled with short and intermediate accuracy his entire career.    But Vick was a dynamic runner and could hit the deep bombs with just a flick of the wrist.   Vick resurrected a very sad Falcons franchise and I was a huge fan.   If AR became Vick 2.0 would Colts fans be happy ? I would be
    • Seems like this team gets a lot of untimely injuries that come out of nowhere. Smith and Kelly, Lewis injuries just appeared out of nowhere. None of those injuries were even mentioned after the Bears game.   Hopefully Smith and Lewis plays because that means more reps for Bryan and Freeland. 😭 
    • Yep. He must of woke up Thursday with it. I assume Pinter will play center if he can’t go. That tackle slot is worrisome if smith can’t go. The defense is looking ridiculously banged up.
