Jesse Lumsden signs

[white is right]

Oh yeah Lumsden has better potential then Forsey because of natural size alone. Lumsden is a big back he is built like he is old man who was a poor man's Alstott in the CFL.......... Forsey is bare 200 pounder these days the NFL hardly employs small backs....

 

[Jimmy Chitwood]

Lumsden looks and runs almost exactly like Mr. NFL MVP, Shaun Alexander: size, speed, running style, and so on.

if you changed the numbers on the jerseys and the color of their skin, it would be virtually impossible to distinguish between them physically on the football field. yet one guy is scratching to make a roster in the League and the other is its poster boy for running back idealism. explain that to me with any other argument than that one is white and the other is black.

 

[castefootballer]

Jesse Lumsden is now listed as the 3rd RB on the Redskins depth chart, with "turtle" speed Rock Cartwright finaly being moved back to FB. This according to the Depth Chart Larry Michael was reading from during the webcast.

 

[white is right]

That means he has an inside track to make th the team. But it doesn't mean he will ever see the field as a running back.....

 

[white lightning]

I still hate that he is on the Redskins.With Alexander being so young and in his prime,reality is that Lumsden will only play probably on special teams barring a bunch of serious injuries to the other running backs.Despite this,I wish him the best of luck.I really wish he could have ended up on a team like the Jets with a old running back close to retiring.

 

[Don Wassall]

Does this surprise anyone? The Redskins want Lumsden to become a blocking fullback. As DraftDaddy put in their squib about the article linked to below: "Hogs.net looks at a pair of Canadian running back's trying to make the Redskins roster, including Jesse Lumsden, who ran a blistering 4.45 40 in 2005 at 6' 2" and 225 pounds, yet is being pushed to bulk up to be a blocking fullback in the NFL."


The NFL is truly sickening the way white players are treated.

The NFL is truly sickening the way white players are treated. This could be a lazy moron not researching the story. I hope they aren't expecting Lumsden to eat pizza and do a Brad Hoover. If he does he may not retain any of the speed that made him a good back in the CFL.....

hmmm... and all the critics of this site say that if a guy has talent then he'll get a fair shot because of course there is no racism in the NFL...

i hope those folks aren't driving on the highway when i'm out there if they are that blind.

 

[backrow]

well, he's got a good frame and could possibly bulk up another 10-15 punds without losing much speed... still i don't see why would he have to do that... just give him a freakin honest shot and IF it doesn't work out move him to fullback... i don't understand why some scrub players get all the chances in the world why some talented white players get either no or half a chance... (Staley, Konrad etc)

Here's an exchange from Draftdaddy.com, a site with a unique concept --
supporting white athletes objectively, without having to resort to the
degradation of black athletes ... doubt it will catch on here, but we can
always hope:


DD.com mailbag from Canada:

I loved the article on Jesse Lumsden, but I'm with you on this, why would
you play him fullback?....Have they taken the time to watch any of his
university games?

I had the privilege to play with him in High School, and to watch him play
at McMaster. I watched him run for over 10 yards per carry, catch passes
like a seasoned reciever, and return kicks, often for touchdowns. This kid
is a specimen, at 6'2" 228 lbs, and that 4.45 speed. I don't remember any
running back at the combine last year with those numbers. He also
produced at running back very well for the Hamilton Ti-cats in 2005.
Actually, now that I think of it, he was more successful then Ricky
Williams, who is stinking up the canadian league, but is considered a
"gem" among NFL gm's.

I know that someday, the NFL will come to it's sense's when it comes to
Canadian talent, and hopefully the NCAA will follow (Jesse was putting up
number in high school to, and was just as big and fast as he is now). I
wish Jesse all the best, along with Kerry Carter, and Mike Sellers, who
played ball up here for a few years.

If I see Jesse take one snap at fullback, I will personally go down there
and slap him myself. He is too good a talent to be wasted as a blocking
fullback in the offence in Washington. If Jesse had played NCAA ball
instead of CIS, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

DD.com comment: Thank youfor the E-Mail. We have many Canadian
readers, so anything we find on Lumsden, who is a Doug Flutie-like folk
hero in Canada, we try to blog. Obviously, we feel Jesse should be
developed as a running back in the NFL. We've stated that since the
spring of 2005. But, it seems to us, that won't happen. It's almost like the
NFL is acknowledging he possesses unique physical talent, but is trying to
find a place for him to play "other than running back".

Who knows, someday the great Jeremy Schaap of ESPN will do a hard-
hitting Outside The Lines story about Jesse: A long-snapper with 4.45
speed, is this a new trend or just a fluke?

 

[voice]

I applaud DD but they know the truth about his Canadian handicap. It wouldn't be an issue for a black canadian at all.

they know it is true but they are working hard and have their eye on potential revenue..

 

[Jimmy Chitwood]

why don't they just come out and say it? they know as well as we do, that his ONLY problem is his skin color.

 

[white tornado]

the redskins are playing the ravens on the nfl network Lumsden has been plkaying great and scored a td. Todd Heap has played a good game and Trevis Latondra from Utah has made two great catches.

 

[Colonel_Reb]

I wish I could watch some of those games! The next couple of weeks may be the last time I get to see some of our stars.

 

[white lightning]

This is what I call the token few carries for the white guy before he either gets cut or rots on the bench all season long.Jesse could not be on a worse team as they are set at running back for the next decade.His only hope to see the field is mainly special teams or to block and let the other running backs get all of the glory.I really wanted Lumsden to go to another team.6 carries for 32 yards and a touchdown.He can play at any level but his skin color will be his downfall.What a shame!

You know what I'd like to see catch on here GLS? You getting your head out of your ass.

I note that you never have anything good to say about white athletes from Detroit. You ripped on Darko, you ripped on Kircus. You probably ripped on Schroeder and Laimbeer. What is it with you dude? You are on a site that is about celebrating white athletes and you are frequently negative about them. What the heck do you want? If it's not here then go somewhere else.

 

[devans]

Supporting white athletes objectively, without having to resort to the degradation of black athletes.
I don't see anything wrong with that as a concept.
And you never know, it might catch on here. It does happen here in fact.

As for telling him to go elsewhere, we don't want a site where everyone is exactly in line and we never disagree with each other do we? Slapping each other on the back and telling each other how great and correct we all are?
Boring.

 

[Kaptain]

Devans, do you really think GreatLakesState is being objective? I see him as just a Woody Woodpecker and adds nothing to this site.

 

[White Shogun]

There are plenty of people who call out white athletes when they act like wigros or commit crimes. But we also object to that behavior in blacks, something which GLS rarely seems to point out in his posts, in contrast to his 'objective' remarks about white athletes.

 

[Bart]

Supporting white athletes objectively, without having to resort to the degradation of black athletes.
I don't see anything wrong with that as a concept.

The begrudging praise doled out to white athletes by the media ispaltry at best.Lofty superlatives and hyperbole are reserved for blacks.At the other end of the spectrumif a white man spits on a sidewalk or wipes his nose on his shirt sleeve he will be depicted as the lowest form of humanity. Blacks often get a free passwhile committing the most egregious of crimes. This site balances the scales. That is why it is so appealing and long overdue.

 

[riggo]

Jesse isn't the second coming of John Riggins yet, but he is getting noticed.

http://www.redskins.com/news/newsDetail.jsp?id=18487

 

[Colonel_Reb]

Sounds like he may have a decent chance of getting on the 53 man roster. I think if they ever give him a shot to run the ball in the regular season, he will open a whole lot more people's eyes.

 

[GreatLakeState]

You know what I'd like to see, Jaxvid? You try to put my head in my ass,
"dude."

But, I'm not going to support white athletes merely because they're white
if a) suck, like Darko or b) are criminal wiggers like Kircus.

Kaptain Popp, I'm not sorry you don't think I add anything to this site,
because you are an anonymous nobody so who cares what you think?
However, I will point out recent articles I posted about superstar prep
center Kevin Love; the Raiders using fullbacks and how their top rushers
in the 70s were white; a white Mr. Basketball in Michigan; Jon Brockman
and Spencer Hawes forming a great post combination at U-Dub; Chris
Quinn playing well in pre-draft camps; Chase Buddinger being a future
Hall of Famer; Kosta Koufas and Kyle Singler being future hoops stars;
and last year, I posted my own in-depth white all-American basketball
teams.

But I guess none of that meats your criteria for useful information in the
promotion of white athletes. Maybe I'll find a link about a black criminal
football player, then you'll accept me!

Two Quotes From the Above Link:

1. Jesse Lumsden took a handoff and broke to the right. Solid blocking up front allowed Lumsen to cut through the line of scrimmage . He slipped through a tackle and ran into the end zone for a 12-yard touchdown run.

2. "[Special teams coordinator] Danny Smith likes him on special teams. He's very smart. We'll give him some key roles which I think he could fill.
-----------------------------------------------------
1. So that's how offensive lineman can get a positive mention: block for a white running back.
2. If everything goes right we may get to see him covering some kicks.

 

[jaxvid]

You know what I'd like to see, Jaxvid? You try to put my head in my ass,
"dude."

As I have already pointed out-your head is up your ass, so there is no reason for me to try and put it up there.

And why would you like to see that? It seems painful not to mention embarassing.

Hey, thanks for the positive mention of those white athletes who are not famous yet. Maybe when they do get famous you can rip on them like you have the others. Or do they have to play in Detroit for you to do that?

Hey Kaptain Poop, stop hiding behind an anonymous internet name and use your real name like Great Lake State!
