Good news for Boobie!

Remember this run? Watch duck d-linemen Nos. 90 and 97. Papa Joe must have been proud.

Hope it works out for him. Someone needs to advise the kid to save every dime he can until he makes the roster.

Thanks for posting the video with the news. It was cool to see several members of the Quack Coaching Clown College pacing around and looking like they didn’t know what just hit them.

Boobie needs, in all likelihood, a year on a practice squad for a coach who has a defined role in mind for him. And that coach will need to be there next season too.

That's a whole lot of Boobie. And that's without even showing Holly Sonders.

his agent, Dickerson, played for the Colts, FYI. Cheering for Boobie, but man I wish he would have stayed here another year. For himself (finish school) and this team.

Thanks, Yaki. I count 8 or 9 Ducks getting at least a touch on that play.

I will probably never tire of watching the replay....

I wish the same for Jalen Thompson . Wish he didn’t get popped and finished school as well. But hopefully he sticks and makes a name for himself .

Unfortunately, he was waived today, per the Colts official twitter account.

People need really need to stop getting jacked up every time Williams signs one of these deals. They are basically one day paid interviews/ look overs. At this stage of pre-season planned rosters are getting firm, players simply do not walk off the street and grab a spot.

I guess too bad for the guy, but it is not as if people with far more experience and his best interest in mind did not warn him.

Clearly should have stayed in school. He only has himself to blame. He listened to what he wanted to hear only. I understand all his reasons for declaring, but it clearly was the wrong decision. His only hope is getting in the XFL and maybe getting a shot at the CFL. NFL window is so small and if he doesn’t catch to something during this season that window will be closed. It really sucks for the guy because everybody wants him to make it but dude made his own bed.

Or goto XFL, then CFL, then NFL.

Kind of like Warren Moon, Doug Flutie, many others.

I still think in time,with proper support,development, that James, can kind of be almost like, almost similar to what Reggie Bush was in the NFL, a 1st string, 2nd string, 3rd string, RB, where they get him the ball by pitch,catch, off tackle, between guard and tackle where get to the outside or where there is OPEN SPACE, OPEN FIELD, where he can make the defender miss, or run around, by, etc, for about a 4.4 yard to 5.9 yard to 10 to 13 yard gain, move the chains, get a 1st down

And that he would be a good fit to do that in a Air Raid type offense in XFL, CFL, NFL.

He just needs to develop, and a chance, and make the most out of that, to do that.
