    Tale of the Tape

    Taylor Gabriel, 5,8 167 lb, 4.4 40 time, trips and falls down when he catches balls.

    Johnny Manziel, 6'0 210 lb, one handed grabs in stride with plenty of YAC

    Do we have the wrong guy as our #3 receiver?

      On an aside, I think Johnny should be holding on kicks too.....why not?.....I bet he coulda run that botched snap in.....and he opens a LOT of doors for 2 point conversions and fake FG's cause he can run and throw.....

      I thought of that too, especially after seeing Spencer Lanning's running skills and bobbled holds.

          Johnny is smarter than Tebow. He just wants to get on the field any way he can...

          Who let the DAWGS out??

              Because he'd bail on the play too quickly?

              Because he hasn't gotten to the "placeholder" section of the playbook yet?

              Just spitballin' here... πŸ˜‰

                Not to hijack the thread with Johnny, but he made a great, running, one-handed grab on that toss from Hoyer. The guy is so athletic, I am up for using him anyway we can.

                That was a nice one handed grab

                Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

                  I thought this thread was about a fourth running back. What was his name again?

                      I see this topic went sideways. I for one want to see what we can do with him...If pettine thinks he has more talent then the babybacks...could be interesting down the road.

                          I saw a few clips of him in preseason. One game he hit the hole and took it to the house for like 30 yards.

                          (edit) here it is...http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/0ap3000000383224/Winston-27-yard-touchdown-run

                          Nothing fancy, but its nice to see a back hit a hole hard and not tap dance around...

                          Good size. Good pickup off another teams practice squad. Probably wouldn't have been on their practice squad if they didn't have Gore AND Carlos...

                          I don't really think carrying 4 RB with Ben Tate on the roster is a bad thing. Tate didn't make it out of the first game, so if Crowell or West goes down, you are down to one back without him.

                            I was curious about why he was dismissed from Michigan State.

                            Just read a good article on Winston's wayward past and his apparent maturation...

                            http://www.freep.com/article/20140502/SPORTS01/305020023/Ex-Michigan-State-RB-Glenn-Winston-hoping-for-a-third-chance-in-NFL-draft

                            "A mistake doesn’t dictate who I am,” Winston said. β€œI was young around the time. I was 18, 19, I’m a grown man now. I’m completely past that. I paid my debt.”

                            After two arrests β€” he spent six months in jail for a 2008 fight with MSU hockey players and violated his probation with the 2009 Rather Hall incident β€” Winston is a longshot to get drafted, even though one area scout who spoke to the Free Press on the condition of anonymity said he would have no problem taking the running back late in next week’s draft.

                              On an aside, I think Johnny should be holding on kicks too.....why not?.....I bet he coulda run that botched snap in.....and he opens a LOT of doors for 2 point conversions and fake FG's cause he can run and throw.....

                              Who is doing the holding, the punter? Yes, I agree, the backup QB could/should be a holder...for the reason you site. JFF could make up for a botched snap, or be able to do fakes.

                                    He was 207 at the combine. He's thicker than some of these other scrawny guys. Looks thicker in person. There is no way he is under 200.

                                          I think the best part is he made it through both the bye week AND Zombo without making TMZ. Maybe he's gained a few maturity pounds.
