He looks like that fat kid from Sandlot all growd up.

Tells us that McVay wants to run the ball out of power sets with Gurley.

Exactly.

To call Rogers "Reynolds v2" makes me believe your power of observation stops at skin color.

 

[den-the-coach]

Lets see the guy play before we declare him a talentless hack...mmmmmmmk?

Great maybe they'll make a move about him.

As I said in the other thread, I like Rogers. He's versatile and a special teams demon. Tells us that McVay wants to run the ball out of power sets with Gurley. Rogers really impressed me against Pitt. VT's OTs couldn't stop Pitt DE Ejuan Price. VT decided to have Rogers block him instead. Rogers was able to neutralize him.

After reading the above bio, I am officially a fan. Hope he can have success with us.

 

[FRO]

Absolutely horrible pick.




In all seriousness I have no clue who any of these guys are after round 5. If he can play special teams then he's a good pick.

 

[den-the-coach]

Bye Bye Harkey?

And Harkey is so much better.

Rogers will only make the squad because of special teams...Again sign him as an UDRFA, that's fine, don't draft the guy...Sorry, not a fan of the player or the position.

Like I said Den, VT could not block Pitt's Ejuan Price (one of the NCAA's best pass rushers and most disruptive players). What did they do? They told Sam Rogers, "He's all yours." And the man delivered them play after play like this one:

That game got me interested in Rogers.

(2017) RD 6, PK 206: Sam Rogers, FB, Virginia Tech
(2016) RD 6, PK 206: Mike Thomas, WR, Southern Mississippi

Roles seemed reversed.FB can catch and the WR can't lol

 

[Big Game]

I like the pick because we needed a real Fullback to run power sets with and block. He is also versitale and allows us to do fullback sneaks on those 3rd and ones we could never convert. Good pick

 

[Riverumbbq]

Great maybe they'll make a move about him.

Or maybe one about you ?

 

[tomas]

Low center of gravity provides additional power as a runner.

Low Man wins in football

 

[StealYoGurley]

Quick tape study tough versatile can do a bit of everything. Strangest thing ive seen on tape was him juking a UNC DB so bad on outside zone run he fell on the ground. Didn't see that coming at all.

 

[Zero]

He thinks you're a great guy, tho.

OK Zodi.That's just freakin funny.I don't care who you are.

 

[den-the-coach]

That game got me interested in Rogers.

 

[tomas]

He has to be because he has not one ounce of talent.

U mad bro?

 

[JonRam99]

Mercy, a no talent hack???? What else does he have to do, juggle flaming knives singing "proud to be an american"?

love the music on this clip, he could be William Wallace's right hand man. Needs blue & white war paint.

*edit: #1 rated FB prospect, nice pick for round 6. Missed Madison Hedgecock when he left, one of my favorite Rams & so mad when he was shipped off to the NYG's, who used him very effectively IIRC. Haven't had an effective lead blocker since. FB's can be extremely versatile weapons out of the backfield, and can add that special "je ne sais quoi" to an offense like McVay's.
