Panthers to sign Canadian OT

[fieryprophet]

It takes Canadian players a while to adapt to the American LOS. They're not used to having to react to dudes bursting off the ball mere inches away.

I wonder if this guy is the only player we're going to sign from this weekend's camp?  CB Pat Lee might be another option.

I see people saying wait til they put pads on...

Pads aren't going to make a difference unless he's just incredibly strong.

His technique is poor and he stands up when he blocks... there's a good chance that when he puts the pads on that his technique is still going to be poor and he's still going to stand up when he blocks instead of sitting down.

6'8" 320, absolutley worth signing and putting on the practice squad at the very least.  Having someone that large to go up against every week, can do nothing put help our defense, especially the new guys. Best case scenario, he turns out to be a beast and we can rotate him in.

At some point we should sign someone we can coach.

And if he doesn't make the roster Gettle Claus will take him to the North Pole and live happily ever after.

He is no where near the 53 man roster but maybe good enough to make the practice squad.  Two years is the limit on PS.  Who knows. 

 

Every player that comes into the league isn't league ready.  Hell over of the draft picks aren't.  Most of them have to be coached up too.  Granted maybe not as much as this guy but rounds 4 and beyond are projects.  

 

Worst case:   He sucks and we let him go.   Best case we get a good player that cost us nothing in draft picks.

as d.g. tubman always says... "big men allow you to compete"

 

hope the big guy retains all the info and gets his mechanics down.  could be huge for us.  yes pun

I played CIS ball (Canadian NCAA).  I'm 5,9 160 lbs.  I have no idea why anyone gets excited about Canadian signings. The competition is just not there.  Anyone who was anyone coming out of high school in Canada usually gets a scholarship to an American school. 

unless said players gave their word to attend a canadian university before the ncaa came knocking
