Beerfish Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 11 hours ago, The Walrus said: Rather the resources go into talent identification within the NFL and college than mining for gold in Canada. And that's no knock against the CFL, just how it is. Only takes one scout to look at players who have played pro for a few years and developed as oppose to playing for west tuskeggee state. Hey no on is saying the CFL should be heavily mined but the 'under any rock' philosophy should apply there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my coaches was Canadian and a bunch of guys would go from league to league - US, Italy, Canada, France, Switzerland. I also have the internet. I look stuff up! Mitchell is in the CFL HOF and I knew he was from Edmonton. I checked their roster and remembered Bowman and Hazelton. They are both probably too old to consider and I didn't know the Walker guy that Beerfish was touting, so I looked up his draft profile. The internet makes refreshing your recollection super easy. I used to have to wait to visit my uncle upstate and comb through his Buschbaum and Kiper draft guides. 2015: 12 games, 89 receptions, 1110 yards, 6 tds, longest 62 yards (rookie of the year) 2016: 18 games, 109 receptions, 1589 yards, 10 tds, longest 104 yards.

Plus when we convert 9 Canadian wins back to US wins it would only be 6.80. Let's scrap this idea just isn't going to work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I though he actually looked decent the past two games. Held up agains the run at times; does not really have that burst around the edge we need but certainly is depth quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 Beltre is fodder, maybe shouldn't say that but he is like bishop more or less, didn't stand out in the league to any big degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly an end of the roster type of player - looks like a good ST guy. Nothing to get too excited about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But could have a role whether STs or some type of D package. We all know Jets need ST players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joenamathwouldn'tcry Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 In the words of the immortal Chan Gailey the Jets don't do trick plays and they never, and all of you Jet fans know this {with the exception of one Mr. Tim Tebow} they don't think outside of the box. So why should this be a surprise to any of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
