This is obviously a long shot, but a pretty cool story.

 

"The guy's got freakish athletic ability. If he can get the system piece down … I think the sky's the limit for the guy,” Wright said.

 

“When you look at him physically, you don't see many players walking around looking like him.”

He's had a lot of bad luck and he has a long road ahead of him. But I'm rooting for him.

It will. He got a second opinion. So I hope Brandon makes the squad. His tape from D-2 is insane.

i cant remember how it goes, can someone tell me how the udfa process works?

 

is it free picking or is there an order to it?

 

do the players have agents that contact teams they want to try out for or do teams notify the players or agents?

^I'm pretty sure he makes it to training camp because we signed him.  There are players that are offered tryouts in this 3 day rookie camp. But I think BW is going to training camp before they decide if he is PS, makes the 53 man roster, or gets cut. Not 100% positive though.

Correct.

BTW, it says a lot that he was signed before the draft. They made sure nobody scooped him up first.

Yep. I dont like to make the Victor Cruz analogy, but there is something about this kid. Not sure if he is gonna make it, but he has the tools and the management seems to really like him.

 

Also note: He is/was a basketball player

Bryant has been referred to as a WR several times now. I don't see him going back. He's too lean to be a TE.

 

Then he'll probably be a career practice squad player, because there are better options who do exactly what he does but better (i.e. Hixon, Gettis). With said, it looks like a Williams vs. Rosario competition for the final tight end spot.

 

I mean I guess they could let Brockel be the third tight end (since he's listed as a tight end on the website) and have Zordich as the back-up fullback (which I wouldn't be opposed to), but Brockel is essentially the same thing as Hartsock; so I don't see the point in using him as a tight end.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
