Who Will Be This Summer's Pre-Season Hero

JoeRedskin · 08-06-2012, 09:17 PM

<sigh> People just don't get it.

Think Sultan McCollough - players who make you say "Who???"

SFREDSKIN · 08-06-2012, 10:53 PM

This is the guy that will surprise the most, I think he's a beast.

Pretty much. I don't understand why it's so hard to get, in the past we've never had a problem latching onto a previously unknown player after a stellar preseason performance.

Don't think it counts, but Kirk Cousins will be an all star in each preseason game. He'll perform like the second coming of Tom Brady against guys not making a team.

Kirk Cousins is actually a good choice for this award.

The options are up. I didn't offer an "Other" because someone would be like "Man, I really think Ryan Kerrigan is gone shine this summer. I'm voting for him"

And Kirk Cousins is not a long shot to make this roster, so he doesn't quite count

Since Alfred Morris (seriously, a 6th round running back with a fumbling problem in college? If that isn't a longshot idk what is) isn't up there, I voted for Lance Lewis. Why you ask? My reasoning is not based on stats, or anything he did in college, or anything from his personal life (like a youtube video of him jumping out of a pool barehanded), but it's simply based on the fact that I want him on the roster so I can refer to him as "Lance Lewis; Space Detective" from now on.

I agree. Fifth round picks and beyond should qualify for this prestigious honor. The boosters have spoken.

No Monte Lewis?? Where's the love?

Already dissed by the powers that be, my man monte (see how that just rolls off the toungue??) is lock to be the key element to our Lombardi march. Without him, all is lost.

Based on the op Banks I think should have been considered. I think you could call him a longshot - definitely not Morgan though.

Im banking on this guy to finally stay healthy long enough to show more than flashes - I guess we all are though - I couldnt call him as a longshot to make the team though imo

Did anyone say Desmond Briscoe ?? I am going to say he is the sweetheart longshot............Big wide reciever - has the connection with Raheem Morris - led TB in touchdown receptions last year - surprised he didnt make the list.

JoeRedskin · 08-07-2012, 01:03 AM

He didn't make the list b/c he is an established NFL player. The "Pre-Season Hero" award is for previously unknown players (as in "Who the F are they??") that become Warpath favorites in pre-season that end up being cut when the final roster comes out. Some of the past winners are Jeffrey Lumsden, um .... Sorry, can't think of any others right now.

Personally, I think that to be eligible for the Sultan McCollough award the player has to be an undrafted free agent or a back up from the CFL or Arena Leagues - A player that has never made it out of an NFL training camp and was originally thought of as nothing more than a "camp body" at best.

30gut · 08-07-2012, 01:12 AM

How about my man Jordan Bernstine?
He's gotta be a longshot considering there are 5 safeties in front of him at a position where they typically keep 4

When (not if) Monte Lewis makes the Pro Bowl this year, he will be angry that he was not included in the poll. Beware the wrath of Mighty Monte.

Ok my bad. First day here. I was focused mainly on the word longshot but i get it now. Longshot and unknown. Oh and who the hell is jeff lumsden? No wonder he won this award. Lol
