Stew Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I thought he might be before the Duckett invasion..... but then we got the Duckett and now its a lil crowded. I can see Lumsden staying only if Betts gets traded and Nemo and White get cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Lumsden staying only if Betts gets traded and Nemo and White get cut. Gotta agree, and I'm guessing White ends up as our backup FB... so good luck Jesse. I do wonder if we would be able to hold him on our PS, we'll see how it all shakes out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brawnylad Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I don't understand the man crush on Lumsden. While I certainly would like to see him succeed, remind me again on what exaclty he has done thus far to earn a spot on the team?Man crush????Do a little research on the man before you pass judgement. I can't believe after seeing Lumsden in training camp, that Rock is even listed as a RB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brawnylad Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I would rather root for a guy like Rock who had potential and makes a big enough splash to impress the coaches every offseason. Start rooting for the players who are gonna make the team and have a big impact on a possibly very exciting season. typical responce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newera Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Lumsden plays well against Pats. Get's cut by us in order to put on practice squad, and gets picked up by Pats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooper Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Oh please. Lumsden is a nice story, but if the coaches really saw something in him he wouldn't be 57th on the depth chart. Seriously, is there a back on the roster right now behind him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newera Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Lumsden is going to get his shot in the next two preseason games. His comp is Rock and Nemo. He could beat them out with a good showing. He's a better running back then both of them. Rock has advantage over teams, but that may only be slight. The smart move to me if they really like Jesse is cut Rock at the end of season, see if he clears, bring him back and put Jesse on practice squad This is contingent on Jesse having a good showing in one of the last two preaseason games. He's going to get this shot. He has to deliver. Nemo had his shot last week. Carter had his shot against the Bengals and got hurt. Probably the big game for Jesse will actually be some tomorrow, but probably the last game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeSkins Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 typical ignorant response...did you make it in the CFL? Did Winston October last more than one year? It's nothing against the league, but the success rate isn't high enough to consider every CFL-jumper a slam dunk to make it in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooper Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Unbelievable. So now he's better than Rock and Ladell based on what? His CFL highlights? His 30 yards in a scrimmage against the ravens 4th stringers? I mean, I know everybody loves a white running back, but come the hell on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nothing against the league, but the success rate isn't high enough to consider every CFL-jumper a slam dunk to make it in the NFL. I completely agree with you...the CFL is a good place for special players to hone their craft and few can make the jump...but some have done it very well...a redskin great got his start with the argos..a guy named Theisman...all I would like to see is Lumsden be judged on talent instead of where he comes from and where he played....if he gets to the practice roster the kid will work his arse off to get better next year...or get grabbed off it by someone else.

Newera Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 He's probably got one game to try and really make this team. Plus, who say's we don't try and move Betts before the season. Betts is in his last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
