(vid) Another look at Lil' Jordan's TD. (1 Viewer)

[ndcc]

From start to finish, it was impressive.

1. Shakes off initial contact off the line.

2. Quickly gets into his route (seam down the middle).

3. Shift/change in direction shakes first would be arm tackle.

4. Stiff arm was textbook perfect on next defender.

5. Keeps his balance & gets into the endzone.

It's stupid to use one play to crown a player's arse as the next coming of Marques Colston... and I'm not doing that.

Just saying that the things he showed on that play were very encouraging, and there are likely to be better things to come. So far, so good.

It wasn't THAT impressive.

He clearly got separation and then made no bones about his intention of getting in to the endzone. Spunky I say!

 

[Mississippi Saints Fan]

I was impressed. Anytime I see a player that set on getting into the endzone, I get fired up. I think he's a long-shot, but if he can show a good bit more of that in the next few games, who knows. Good luck to him.

Jesus, what's going on in this board??? I might have to check out until the season starts. Are we now going to attack every attaboy a player gets during training camp? There's a air of negativity round here lately that's just...disappointing

Anyone who watched him college knows he's a gamer. I'm usually skeptical about UDFAs but I'll go ahead and predict Humphrey is on the roster and contributing within the next two seasons.

I was more impressed by his first catch, the nine yard completion.

I check in and read on here everyday, but I quit posting, everyone is all about trolling and telling you that your opinion is wrong. It's my opinion, sheesh. I also think half of the people on here could get an NFL coaching job if they wanted to

It wasn't THAT impressive.

For a skinny 6’4, the shiftiness was pretty dang good. Why be a downer?

I've noticed that myself. The cool and hip thing to do right now is to try to tell people they shouldn't be excited. And just arguing to argue. One of the things I've always loved about this site is that it's always been positive overall.

My biggest fear is this board turning into something like the Tiger Rant where it's a competition to get the sickest burns and to see who can make people look the most foolish.

It won't. I will steer this ship back in the right direction. Trust me!

I agree, Jordan showed a lot of stones when given his chance, as well as Grayson. I'm pulling for Grayson after his magnificent catch, & his block for Arnold even though he got clocked at the end of it. But both of these young receivers showed the real reason why Rishard Matthews left the team in disgust tweeting out against the world. the fact was he saw a ton of young talent in Lil' Hump & Grayson & knew he couldn't compete any more.

Are you sure he's skinny? he looked like a solid 225 on the field.

 

[Shadeaux]

We are going to be sorry later if we don't find a way to keep this kid.

That’s what he measures as. Same as Colston. He just looked more Brandon Coleman-like to me than Colston. Not to diss the dude or anything. Just seemed skinny to me
