I did. Mostly came here bc I'm kind of a dick and most Saints fans are easy targets. Not saying you, I think you have a little sense.

Ah, so you're a troll with psychological issues, not a complete dumbass.
Much better

To be fair, it should be pointed out that for the limited time that he was actually active, Jake Lampman seemed to make every frickin' special teams tackle. Which can matter when you're trying to nail down the final WR spot sometimes.

He's such a good person. Great in locker room.
Damn strong WR, especially when you get him without using a draft pick.

Some guys play faster. Dural made alot of big plays at lsu with terrible qb.
Jerry rice ran a 4.7 and jarvis landry ran a 4.6 at the combine

And no one was praising their speed, they brought other things to the table. The fact you just went there is puzzling, those guys were 1st and 2nd rounders

This is awesome but I'm afraid it won't be enough to lift the curse because they didn't draft him. Only time will tell. Go Saints!!
Posted on 4/29/17 at 8:47 pm to Riseupfromtherubble
Both of those guys had good qbs throwing to them. Dural had shite. He still put up equally as good or even arguably better career stats at lsu than landry.
He has a knack for getting open down the field, has good size, and decent hands.
Not sure where you are getting that people are claiming him as some speed demon. Sounds like you just want to be a bitch and shite on a udfa.

Landry had more yards and touchdowns in 1 less season, how is that arguably better? Why do people spew bullshite?

Dural's 40 time was pretty surprising. He definitely seemed to play faster than that at LSU. He had some scorching big plays a couple of years ago. He is even mentioned as having good deep speed in some of the scouting reports. The 40 time makes you wonder if something was going on when he tested or maybe he hasn't come back well from injury.

What the f*ck does that even mean?
He has a high ceiling? Okay great, add him to the team.
He has a low floor? Cut him. His floor should be close to the ceiling.

It means that he has a lot of potential, but he is far from a sure thing.
That isn't how this works, especially not for an udfa. They are all low floor guys. If you are going to take a flyer on someone wouldn't you want someone who has the potential to be great, or do you just want a bunch of people who are guaranteed to be below average?

Dural was a deep threat on the field against good college opponents, he seemed to have a knack for getting a step and keeping it. Did it against Fla, and they had talent at db and knew Dural was the main receiving threat.
LSU also used him some with the jet sweep, and he was effective there. Bitch about the former LSU coaches all you want, but they did understand the jet sweep, and wouldn't choose a slow guy to run it. They wanted to find a way to get Dural the ball, since the passing game was lousy.
Don't know; maybe he ran the test times a little hurt, maybe he just doesn't get a good start on the 40 for some reason. If nothing else, the guy has football speed.

And when he got that step, he didn't lose it- see the bombs against Arkansas, Wisky, Florida, etc. Guys weren't recovering and catching him, unless the pass was underthrown.

He seems a lot like Stills, but without the drama.
