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.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
