Having the Jeffs on Defense, why not some Bailey's on O?

Didn't they used to put stats on the announcement?

Maybe - Sterling was fast but not overly strong.  Maybe because of injury.  I guess we will see.  We have picked up some good players after they were injured.......Collaros for example. 

[DM83]

His report sounds very good for a CFL sized player.

I coached a smaller quick athlete at a nose tackle position one year.  His quickness infuriated blockers.  He needed to be double teamed, but even then, he could slide around the bigger  kids body and  cause problems. Also because he often required two guys to delay him, blitzing LBs through the next A or B gap allowed our defence to achieve. We won the HS championship, 89.
