triple6mafia Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Morton never impressed me. I always disliked him. Keep Brown, he was good for us except for his fumble vs. the cowgirls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingdomBankcard Posted May 6, 2005 Author Share Posted May 6, 2005 Joe Gibbs quoted Portis about the tryout time on Antonio Brown that took place in week 14 last season, at the press conference introducing Santana Moss. Gibbs then details the conversation about the races that Brown and Moss ran in the 40. He said that both have never lost a 40 race in the lives, until they each beat eacher once. Hopefully that clarifies things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dn0774 Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 If anyone wants a fast 40 time, go run on the Virginia Tech track. Miracles happen out at VT. It seems like every VT prospect runs about 1-2 tenths of a second slower at the combine than the time VT claims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BornSkinsFan Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 http://www.flagmag.com/2005/Tournaments/05WillisMcgahee.html Feb 7th,2005 Miami,FL-Miami Herald Article UM FOOTBALL Inquiry finds no violation by Hester A race between the Canes' Devin Hester and Redskins receiver Antonio Brown reportedly was not for money. BY SUSAN MILLER DEGNAN sdegnan@herald.com University of Miami athletic director Paul Dee said Monday that UM compliance officials investigated a flag football website report that noted Hurricanes defensive back Devin Hester and Washington Redskins wide receiver Antonio Brown had an informal 40-yard foot race with ''$2,000 and bragging rights . . . on the line'' Jan. 29 at a charity flag football game in Miami. ''They held a race, but there was no money involved,'' Dee said Monday. ``Our people have looked into it. They've met with Devin, and they've done their due diligence. We brought people in. We've talked to people. The compliance staff reported back to me that there was a race, but it wasn't for money.'' The NCAA opposes legal and illegal sports wagering and has adopted a bylaw prohibiting sports-related gambling. Jim Zimolka, the Londonderry, N.H.-based president and CEO of Flag Football Magazine, which goes by FlagMag.com online, said he helped write the blurb on his website. Zimolka said he was in South Florida to help organize his upcoming World Cup of Flag Football event at Barry University. He said he stopped by the Willis McGahee Flag Football Tournament at Gwen Cherry Park to benefit the NFL YET Center in Miami. TALKING TRASH Zimolka said he heard people from both groups of bystanders talking at first about betting $5,000, and then, $2,000, but that he thought ``this was more ego-driven.'' ''There were several people jawing back and forth,'' Zimolka said. 'It started off as a friendly, `Hey, I'm better than you' thing, and they were egged on by their counterparts and both agreed to race. They used the flag football officials. ``There was no money exchanged from what I could see. I thought it was pretty funny because they were making a pretty big commotion. There were like 500 people watching. Antonio Brown beat him by about a quarter of a step and looked back at him and mocked him. I didn't even know who Devin Hester is. That name meant absolutely nothing. Remember, I'm in New Hampshire, and college football is not big here.'' Dee said UM will submit an internal report to document the investigation but that it does not need to go to the NCAA, unless it is requested. ''We're doing the report just so we'll have it available if anybody looks for it,'' Dee said. ``It's not a problem because we don't have a violation.''

BornSkinsFan Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Fumbling doesn't seem to be chronic problem for him. He's done it twice, and turned it over once (unfortunately that time was as as Redskin).

In the summer of 2004, at the age of 44, Darrell showed that his techniques still work when he recorded a 4.36 40-yard dash during a running demonstration at a youth summer football camp." For Darrell 4.36 is having lost a step. That is an awesome time for a fast Rookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest amaprius Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Did you hear Antonio Brown is going to be cut? People are saying he is not a very good receiver or ST guy in the June 1 Cuts thread .....Thrash is god of ST over there..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornSkinsFan Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Well, he's never played the WR position in the NFL, even though that's how he's listed. As far at ST, he's about the best we've got, and he comes realatively cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paydirt Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 I don't know what people are saying other places, but from what I saw of him last year, he IS a good ST guy. He seemed to have much better moves than Morton, which makes him a good ST guy in my book. I don't care if he's not a great receiver as long as he can return kicks back to the house.

He's alluding to this because he's frustrated that everyone but himself KNOWS that Thrash will remain with the team next year.... and he wants to believe he'll be cut.

Well, the fact that Thrash is a monster on ST's and that he is more than just good as a receiver should kind of change amaprius's beliefs. But I am assuming that he saw all the games and witnessed these things for himself. J.Gibbs verbally exuded confidence in Thrash's physical ability, lockerroom leadership and mental toughness more than any other player since Art Monk. Thrash is one of the players on the team in which rookies could aspire to be like in the coming years of their career and be able to look back and be proud of their achievements. Aaaah, to hell with it amaprius...lets cut him:insane:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
