Post draft booms/busts (or spring mini-camp evaluations).

[Cringer]

-22/-8 Narvaez, Albert RG 7 Reno Wolfpack

Wow, I'm glad he didn't resign with me now....though I guess it's just the position change...?

I would say so. That's the risk guys take with position changes.

[Warhammer]

Drafted guys:

QB Lincoln Norton stayed the same.

TE Tito Hernandez stayed the same.

LT Dusty Forland 0/+1

DE Nolan Fisk 0/-1

NT Riddick Chrebet 0/+1

CB Scott Pitman 5/5 Great for a 7th rounder at a position where I need depth!

If I remember, TC is more important for the rookies, and we should see some more booms there. I just can't remember what happens with the guys who show a little movement one way or another, whether that is indicative of a boom/bust or not.

Notable Regular Roster

FB Dostie -5/-5 beginning to show his age.

TE Sala -4/-4 beginning to show his age.

WR Roush -3/-4 continuing to show his age.

LG Brockway -3/-3 continuing to show his age.

LDE Williamson 0/+1 continuing his slow increase in skill.

NT Tan -7/-7 The guy is still a stud, but is beginning to show his age.

SILB Boyer +6/+6 I knew this guy would be a late bloomer. He always played above his skills, and after an initial decline he booms.

SS Brown -6/-6 Finally begins to decline after years of productive service.

The biggest disappointment is Brown, I was hoping to get another great year out of him, now I am not so sure if I will. Still none of the declines are wholly unexpected, except for Sala's. I still feel good about our chances this year though, since last year these changes would have devastated us. Now they are just an inconvenience.

I don't think that is true, but I tend to forget some of this stuff too.

[Cringer]

Not sure if rooks boom or bust more in TC, if so I don't think it is much more.

All I know is that after TC is when that decent looking late round pick becomes shit because the blue bars are gone and the real red and green are seen.

[Warhammer]

I don't know about the quantity, but I know I have had guys both boom and bust after TC. The vets can also bust/boom there, but I have not seen it as much. I know Swett busted at that stage a few years back.

Turk day=Turkey day? Thanksgiving? That's a ways away. :shock:

Holy shit! Jerome went from a good lineman, to a GREAT fucking lineman! DAMN. BUT..................FUCK! He is now PRIME for a holdout. I cannot afford a holdout. I already had to resign some guys I didn't intend to just to add some more players to my roster. I am busting at the seams on my cap! I am royally fucked if he holds out.

Shit, now we have to hear Jave talk about hi interior o-line is the best in the league (ratings wise only jackass ).

DAMN STRAIGHT. Best line in the league. Say what the fuck you want to about rating, this line, in a pass happy offense only allowed 23 sacks last year. Running game? Yea, Lomeli ran for 1400+ yards, and finished the year accounting for 21, yes TWENTY-ONE touchdowns!
Awards? Jack, and shit. The proof is in the wins. 30 other teams sat home and watched us in the Imperial Bowl. Yes, we lost, but we fought like hell, and I am proud as shit of this team!

So Lomeli didn't really deserve any awards because he was running behind the best line in the league then?

Fuck that man, If Gale Sayers, Walter Payton, Emmit Smith and Barry Sanders all took turns with Mary Magdalene, the combined seed they deposited would take turns fermenting her eggs and within 25 minutes her belly would expound and shoot out a fully formed running back by the name of Gaston Lomeli. Havn't you heard?

[Cringer]

That is some deep shit man. Deep.

[eckman]

Damn I wish I signed Deason to a long term contract last year. Now he's gonna want what's his.

Yea, but I was still playing in the IFL bowl, and you waiting for the draft.

[Suicane]

We should get together for a beer some time. I could tell about the joy and happiness that comes over you when you win an Imperial Bowl, and you could tell me of the heartbreak that ensues when you lose one. It would be a dandy evening.

Well seeing as I do not have the CAP space to make some rookie offers I will venture that CAP must be met while signing rookies and heading into TC.

At least I know CAP is not whole roster but most expensive 53

quoteing myself - theres a way to pump up the post count - lol
