True he has, but against 3rd stringers.

I think Jones will also do good things, but yeah - I'm on Team Ralph!

Ultra under-sized to play O-line in the pros; but, hey, he's Canadian and maybe a good "athlete" and they belong more on the O-line? ;o)

Tillspin's drafting this year was kinda strange or iffy IMO - he's clueless and GOB myopic when it comes to Canadian talent.

Jimmy Ralph has had a good couple of games, but I think I'd choose Malcolm Williams. He's a truer WR like Jones and Noel. I don't see Ralph backing up Coombs. Good player, but odd man out in our system, I think.

Jones is a slotback.

Both teams swapped lousy QB's from last season....Matthews and Kilgore

**ArgoGabe22** · 06-16-2017, 10:16 PM

So Prukop suffers a "mysterious injury" post game and is moved to the 9 game IR?

That's what makes QB evaluation so difficult.

What's a truer???? and what has Levi Noel done consistently to show that he's a truerer??? He's the new Spencer Watt of National receivers, a hyped guy who did so little.

On a positive note, you could tell this regime is soo much better at acquiring talent than Barker and Milo...no more Henry Jose trying out at RB, or Todd Lowber trying out at receiver. Not as many fillers in camp just being warm bodies.

Even in preseason it feels nice to beat Hamilton. Nice one handed TD grab by Johnson from Prukop. Cut down day will be interesting.

Great throw as well, Prukop also showed some promise.

Nice throwback. Lowber had three cracks to make the roster. I was once bored and curious what happened to him. Found out he now works at the US Department of State.

Would not surprise me if Wylie and Paden are released. Not sure Posey has shown enough to start as well.

Everyone loves their roster at the end of camp, but I think we have the makings of a good team and will have some very difficult roster decisions to make. We seem to have a fair bit of depth at a lot of positions, and I love our young NAT talent.

**argotom** · 06-16-2017, 10:35 PM

Prokup looked good, Ralph made some nice catches and comes from a good gene pool.
I like Jackson as the returner and Wilder as the RB although the latter didn't have that much work.
Mathews although better than last week is probably gone.

I see Paden gone almost for sure. Wylie may get kept until he's fully healthy. I still think Posey starts, and may end up being our most productive receiver.

I hope we don't see this uni combo ever again. Please go back to contrasting pants/jerseys, and save the white helmets for the white jerseys.

**Stevoman** · 06-16-2017, 10:40 PM

I liked Prokup's throwing motions and his ability to run the ball. Very refreshing considering Kilgore was on the other side and was making more errant throws. Ray, Fajardo, Prokup, would be my choice but I imagine Willy will be in the mix.
