Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship. -

Vikes have had a very good draft me thinks. Not sure why they grabbed him though.....
Tyler Thigpen

Derek Stanley
WR, Wisconsin-Whitewater
War Room analysis
Strengths: Is a great athlete with the quickness and agility to make defenders miss. Is tough. Shows surprising strength and balance to absorb hard hits and keep going. Runs through arm tackles. Has the speed to stretch the field. Runs sharp routes, and shows the burst out of cuts to gain separation. Uses hands and body well to create space and shield defenders. Follows blockers well. Shows the hands to make tough catches look easy. Shows great leaping ability to win jump balls. Works hard as a blocker.
Weaknesses: Is short and thin. Is a durability question because of his lack of size, which also will hinder his ability to break tackles in the NFL. Must improve technique at the snap -- takes a false step with his back foot, hindering ability to get into his route quickly. Lack of size and strength hinders ability to block.
Bottom line: Stanley dominated Division III competition. His lack of size is a definite concern, especially since he looks even smaller on film, but he is tough and consistently plays bigger than his size. He is a dangerous open-field runner and could become a great special teams player -- as a punt and kick return man and gunner on punt coverage. Stanley will not be drafted as high as we have him rated but will make it in the NFL as a slot receiver and special teams player.
Pack gonna bring this guy in as a returner if he doesn't get drafted?I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud

I'm going downstairs to lift weights; I've got good hands, I can square up and find the seam in the zone, I can't run after the catch, but I can block. And I'm cheaper than Bubba

Tony, you are guitar rat, what sort of guitar do you have?
As far as football. Vikes will be better on offense next year...(how can they be worse!) Peterson is gonna rock.Comment

What about Zabransky (QB from Boise State) or Walker (RB from Notre Dame) - one for development and to push Martin and Walker on a flyer since he fits the ZBS so well?60% of the time it works every time.Comment
