Official Jake Kumerow Bandwagon Thread!

[Joemailman]

There is no "designated to return" any longer. No designation is required. The team can simply return any two players from IR without previously identifying them at the time they go on IR.

But they must be on the 53 man roster at the start of the season. Yes?

good catch

[Guiness]

Kumerow with some nice catches again tonight.

I am thinking of changing the dog's name to Kumerow.

Have to think this guy's top end speed (can we call that athleticism?) is hurting him.

On that TD run he was zig-zagging away, looking over his shoulder fighting off tacklers. You think he would’ve been able to do that if it was a starting safety trying to pull him down? Jordi/Cobb/Adams would’ve put their head down and turned on the jets.

I'd rather have a slow guy that can consistently get first downs. Sure he didn't seem too fast but I don't think Jordy, Cobb or Adams are particularly speedy either. More so quick.

Agreed. He didn't look the part while scoring an 82 yard TD...cut him.

Too slow and separation becomes an issue. Big and strong only gets you so far and you just end up with a 3rd string CB/safety blanketing you. Jordi absolutely had a great 2nd gear, his top speed was amazing, but not anymore. I'd guess the Pack have in Kumrow what they just gave up in Jordi.

Mr. Sterling Sharpe went a long way just being big and strong.

a fast miss is still a miss. Speed does a guy no good if he has pork chop hands.

Saw an interview with J'Mon - he was talking about all the thinking involved. Pretty much seemed like the speed of the game, the size of the playbook may be an issue. Some guys just take longer to figure it out. He may not be ready yet. If Kumerow knows what he's doing, that's a another big plus.

I will admit I am quick to judge WR's. I couldn't stand James Jones that season he had all those drops, yet to date is one of my favorite packer receivers. I am still waiting for Adams to turn back into the fraud. I admit he seems pretty damn good and I was probably wrong about him. But I really don't think J'Mon is very good.

I despise stereotypes with all my heart, so props to you for comparing Mr. Kumerow with Mr. Sharpe. That being said, before I jumped onto the Kumerow bandwagon, I compared him to Super Bowl Champ Brett Swain.

In truth, Kumerow is a poor man’s Billy Schroeder. Ole Bill even spent time on NE’s PS.

Ole Bill, alotta Pack fans misunderstood him. Despised the man for his loathsome attitude. But when you’re Aryan and balled at a D-3 school, ain’t no black corner in NFL is gonna respect you. You gotta act loathful, brash and black to survive.

[Fritz]

No, I think you just gotta run the right routes the right way and catch the ball when it's thrown to you. And block when it's time to block.

I did not misunderstand Billy's unique approach to routes and his alligator arms. I would say his reaction to corners was basically fear, especially in the middle of the field. Track guy playing football.
