jamesbrooks21 Posted February 9, 2004 Report Posted February 9, 2004 What do you guys think about Quincy Wilson from West Virginia? I think he will be a steal for whoever gets him. Quote
Jam31 Posted February 9, 2004 Report Posted February 9, 2004 Agreed 100%Did you see the Miami game???!!!??? Quote
richmond_mat Posted February 10, 2004 Report Posted February 10, 2004 Agreed 100%Did you see the Miami game???!!!???I saw the first half and watched the computer stats with amazement (I don't have cable). The 'eers scored too quickly when Quincy ran over their big name safety for another TD. BTW 'the chosen one' should have been ejected from that game and not had a chance to win it. Winslow is a complete ass.I'm very leary of drafting any of miami's defense. West Virginia has averaged nearly 300 yards RUSHING against them the last 2 years. To WV's credit they have ran the rock well recently; top 10 two years running. Last year's senior back out of morgantown made detroit's roster as an undrafted free agent! If he's there in round five I'd take him. Quote
chrishcovga Posted February 10, 2004 Report Posted February 10, 2004 We could still have a chance at Michael"the burner" Turner on day 2. Could turn out to be a Onterrio Smith for us. Quote
JonFnKitna Posted February 10, 2004 Report Posted February 10, 2004 Michael Turner is not a burner, that nickname is stupid. It bugs me every time i hear it.I think if we go RB, it will be a true speed back to compliment Rudi. The 2 top speed backs in mid rounds are Fred Russel and Tatum Bell. Quote
AGrizzlyBaer Posted February 10, 2004 Report Posted February 10, 2004 yeah last year when suggs and smith fell to the forth if something like that could happen that would be nice Quote
chrishcovga Posted February 11, 2004 Report Posted February 11, 2004 Tatum Bell runs hard, but fumbles too much. Fred Russell is really no more than a Brandon Bennett replacement.If dillon's gone, Rudi stays, and vice versa....got to have a replacement that does the compliment job..keep an eye out for that kid from the junior college Ottawa Braves from Missourt.. Derrick Ward. built and runs like rudi...and ran for 2000 yards at 6 yards a pop this season. Quote
JonFnKitna Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 Have you ever watched Fred Russel run?This guy has amazing speed and moves. Hes a better KR then bennet as well.Bell does fumble a lot, but hes another one with awesome speed, he has the ability to take every run to the house. That is something that can't be taught. You can work on fumbling (like alstott did) but you cant help speed much.Plus, Quincey Wilson fumbles just as much, except he cant hang with Bell in speed, and has the size of Fred Russel. Quote
chrishcovga Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 Not debating Fred Russell's talent , but feel we can get the better player in Shaud Williams from Alabama. He's a little guy that does everything. Runs,catches,playes special teams, and the guy i want the most to replace Brandon Bennett.He's also shown that he can be given the ball 20-25 times a game.Perfect # 3 running back in my book.Plus what Russell has in quickness Williams has in speed. Perfect late round selection.If he's there in round 6 or 7, instead of drafting a young qb... he would be my pick. Quote
Bobcat Bengal Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 Personally, I would rather have that dude from Arkansas, Cedric Cobbs......I think he has potential to be pretty good.....and regardless of what you think, if we let dillon go, we are gonna burn one of our picks on a RB in the draft...Coach Anderson is a RB genius, all of his RB's have produced.....

Shaud Williams isnt a speed guy, hes more of a quick runner.40 times From nflfans.com:Fred Russel: 4.36Shaud Williams: 4.51 Quote
chrishcovga Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 We'll see their accurate numbers this weekend..Fitzgerald only runs 4.6 ..... but is always open;and we know where he's gonna land.Jerry Rice ran a 4.59, best post wr there ever was...To quote Peter Warrick after his sub 4.5 time in 2000.... "there's track speed, and then there's the speed you have when someone is chasing you." Fred Russel is gonna go maybe as high as a 3rd.. at least an early day 2... We can get Shaud Williams late,and he'll do more for us .Plus he carried the Alabama offense while Brody Croyle struggled. Nothing wrong with stockpiling.... Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 Getting open as a WR isn't all about speed. It's about being crafty, and being able to understand THE SAME AS THE QB DOES, as to how the route is to be run. The best receivers in football ALWAYS had a chemistry with their QB's. Give me a smart and crafty WR over one that's just fast anyday!! Quote

Give me a smart and crafty WR over one that's just fast anyday!! Billy - that's perfectly said. Best WR of all time, Jerry Rice, wasn't overwhelmingly fast but his chemistry with Montana and Young helped propel him into the greatness he's earned. He ran routes with perfection and both QBs knew that Rice would be there. I think if it wasn't for Rice, neither Montana nor Young would have been the great QBs they were; everyone helped each other get into the Hall of Fame, there was no individuality there. Quote

So true. He was as slow as a white boy, (I don't mean to offend any slow white boys, but I feel I can, 'cuz I are one!) but he was ALWAYS open it seemed! Steve Largent of the Seahawks was also slow, but ranks second to Jerry Rice. It's all about craftiness!! Quote
Kirkendall Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 I agree. Who was that Raider back in the early to mid 90s that was an Olympic sprinter? I even think he won a gold medal but he played for the Raiders and didn't last long at all.. does anyone remember his name? Quote
richmond_mat Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 It's all about craftiness!!catching the ball, and avoiding the big hits. How many does marvin harrison drop?Kirk-His name was James Jett (great name) and he lasted 9 years. Not bad for an undrafted free agent. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/play...rs/JettJa00.htm Quote
