stevewin Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) When I was in high school, our basketball team was going to play a team in the sectionals that had a player who was one of the top scorers in the state at that time, and who would just launch long shots from everywhere (and make a lot of them) - including waaaay outside the 3 pt line. I got selected to simulate him in practice - it was for sure the most fun practice I ever had - just launching bombs with impunity from NBA 3 pt range (and beyond) all over the court Edited December 2, 2019 by stevewin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it's close but wouldn't Tyree Jackson be a better option than those two? Hard to find anyone to match the size and change of direction agility/acceleration. Is Tyree still around?

Tyrod threw a dozen warmup passes on the sideline yesterday after Rivers played like crap in the 1st quarter. But they never put him in the game. I think John Brown is our best in-house scout team QB, at least for one day this week given the extra time off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe LFGs were covered in the current CBA, but they are a big point of contention in any upcoming negotiations. If they are considered to be actual ghosts, can they accrue years towards retirement? It's a conundrum wrapped in an enigma that could shape the future of the league.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 56 minutes ago, MJS said: Lamar Jackson isn't big. 6'2" and 200 pounds. That's the size of Foster. He's listed as 6'2" and 212, but he looks thicker and more powerfully built than Foster. TBH, one of the best choices on our roster would probably be Cole Beasley. He is smaller, but he has that elite quickness and cutting ability. He was the QB of his HS team and switched to receiver in college, so he can throw. The problem of course is having a starter simulate LJax instead of repping to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Unfortunately, he's not available this season, but Buffalo could draft Lamar Jackson next April. He is a 6'3" cornerback from (I believe) Nebraska. He would have similar size and athleticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he doesn’t even have hands? But he can be on an NFL roster every week playing the role of Lamar Jackson for that week’s opponent! Are you suggesting that Lamar Jackson can't play a lick of football, since a guy who can't play a lick of football would simulate him? Given that LJax guy is QB'ing the league's leading offense at this point, if you are suggesting that, it would be hysterically....nah, it would just be stupid.

As such, Foster wouldn't be an accurate simulation at all in that case, but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSHMEAB Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, Fan in San Diego said: Bring in that San Fran QB , I forget his name A) Every thread? B) His running style is completely different from Jackson just as Allen's running style is different than either Kap or LJ. LJ is a very tough guy to stimulate or simulate. There's never really been a QB THAT "elusive." Vick was faster, but even he wasn't quite as elusive. I'd prefer to NOT see McKenzie, Foster, or anyone on the active roster taking the time to do this because I don't think it would be all that productive. Much rather see their practice time dedicated to the offensive game plan. If Andre Roberts were super elusive or we had a super athletic guy stashed on the PS, it would be worth a shot. We'll see what happens, but just watch the tape and formulate a game plan. Anything else seems like a waste of time.

Mango Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Honestly, what would the cost be to get Vick in the building for a week on the PS...or does his retirement prevent that? Somebody said, he won't play a game, so wouldn't count towards the cap. Can we sign and cut Vick from the PS for $100k? Hell Vick could make a career of it. Practice squad to practice squad, $100k a pop, $1.6M on the year, just to pretend to play football. Vick was electric, but LJ is looking like he might be much better. Outside of maybe RG3 (who is also with BAL), I am not sure if anybody else would come close to similar ability or insight into playing style of Lamar.
