Jesse Lumsden signs

[Jimmy Chitwood]

jaxvid is right... i mean who wants a guy who is 6'2", 220-pounds, runs a 4.4 40, and averaged over 10 yards a carry in his collegeiate career?

WTF is going on?!?

 

[white is right]

Him getting cut wasn't a shocker to me. As they just didn't use him. Lumsden getting ignored by the Skins(for the practice roster)is. Anybody that starts in the CFL is at least a practice roster guy in the NFL. Something smells rotten in the state of Denmark.....

Thanks for the great video.He really is special.It's too bad that he will probably never get a chance to play in the nfl.He should be a starter.His speed and ability to change directions is incredible.He moves like a much smaller running back as he can cut on a dime.Good luck to him.

That was fantastic. I had to watch it twice! Of course that's the most I've ever seen of him. That's the way it is with a lot of white athletes. You see more of them on the Internet than television.

It was amazing to my ears to hear the unbiased game calling of the announcers doing the play-by-play. They talked about Lumsden's quick feet, his athleticism, his breakaway speed, without any qualification or hesitation.

One thing you notice in that clip - Lumsden never ran out of bounds. He doesn't shy away from contact.

Thanx for the vid Caste Footballer. I don't know what to say. It's a sin that guy isn't playing in the NFL.

 

[hedgehog]

That was more impressive that I thougth it would be. What a shame this guy is not in the NFL. If you ask me Indianapolis is his only chance. Are they looking to pick up any RB's on waivers?

He reminds me of Steven Jackson. Fast, big, and strong.

 

[white lightning]

I keep waiting and hoping to hear some good news on Lumsden.How can no one be interested?I hope his agent is on the phone seven days a week.The season starts on Thursday and there are teams that could use him.Some team needs to just sign this kid.I know I sound like a broken record but it just makes me so angry.Just imagine what he could do if he had a whole season to start getting 20-25 touches a game.He would go for well over a thousand yards and shut up all of the stupid critics.

 

[backrow]

there's nothing i would love more for this season than to see Lumsden actually grtting a chance in the NFL... but i got the feeling it's not gonna happen...

 

[castefootballer]

Me myself being a caste throwaway at the RB position, I have such a soft spot for this kid. So in a weird way I kinda live vicarioulsy thru him.

Sorry to hear about your caste moment. Its been building for decades though and now its a mania fueled by black racial solidarity and the much worse submissive groveling for payoff by whites (think Howie Long).

 

[cslewis1]

These guys have GOT TO KNOW THIS IS WRONG!!! Why doesn't anyone say anything??? It'll take that first ballsyguy to come out and say just onething about this, that he is a victim of racism. Yeah, he'll get laughed at initiall, but the truth is so OBVIOUS. I feel I am going to jump out of a window I am so frustrated. THIS IS FRIGGIN CRAZY! Man, we hear up and down about no blacks in baseball, but not an f'ing thing aboout this! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

 

[cslewis1]

Something else that boggles my mind, doesn't the coach at Oregon Statehave an in with some of these guys in the pros? Is it still that ass Erickson coaching there? He coached in the pros, why can't he say to one of his buds up there, that they need to give Hass or whoever the hell it will be next time, a decent chance, that he will be a factor in helping your team win and thus you keeping your job.


Don't these white coaches know they are next! They're being hunted too, and thus doesn't it make sense, if you are doomed anyway to preserve your space by picking up quality talent that the other guys are too scared to take? GAWD! If Mike Hass is blowing by guys and you can get him for pennies on the dollar why would you not freakin' do it??? When you lose with your Mike WIlliams, Todd Pinkstons rejects, noone in the media is going to give you credit because you had a minority dominated team. There going to say you couldn't relate and that you need to walk the plank while anohter minority takes over the ship.


This is insane. I can't believe in America, not one white guy gets even a chance to bea corner or that the best receivers from the colleges can't hardly make a freakin' practice squad. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!


Thanks for letting me rant. I was reading this stuff at work and screaming at teh monitor. Finally, I got to come home and post.

 

[freedom1]

Yeah, just think, if you were willing to break the rules, you could just grab up all these white players and field a winning team on the cheap. When the Boston Celtics did it in the 80s, the fans still came.

 

[white lightning]

How can you have a all black team and not have that be racist.Whites will be the minority within 40 years at max in this country.I guarantee that nothing will change.We will still be treated like garbage and never get the handouts that everyone else gets.I personally don't want or need handouts.I do want equal opportunity though at school,work and in sports.We are being discriminated against every single day.It's complete b.s. and I'm so sick of it.

 

[Jimmy Chitwood]

in addition to the video mentioned earlier, Google video has a Lumsden clip from when he was in the East-West Shrine Game. they talked about him quite a bit, as well. follow the link...

 

[White Shogun]

Lumsden still hasn't been signed anywhere, but Ron Dayne has been sent to the Texans to back up Wali Lundy.

Jesse resigned with the Hamilton Tiger Cats today.He signed a two year deal.He basically had no choice because the nfl does not want white running backs.They have proved this over and over again.I wish him the best of luck up there.At least they appreciate his god given talent up north.He will be a star in the CFL.

Beat me by five minutes WL

Mark Boerigter might not be too far behind as well since he's reportedly talking to B.C and Winnipeg.

 

[backrow]

so basically as far as NFL goes, we've lost him, right?

He'll get another chance at the NFL in two years. If they want him they can show him the money. However very few players get a real NFL shot coming from the CFL and players are starting to wise up about this.

Also my understanding is that the Ti-Cats intend to start Lumsden as soon as practical. This unfortunatly makes Josh Ranek trade bait and there's not too many places he could go.Edited by: Ta Waki Mumba

 

[white lightning]

Is there any way that they could have a two back set?I would love to see both of these guys running the ball.They could help get the Ticats back on top in another year or two.

 

[Ta Waki Mumba]

That would be the smart thing to do and some CFL teams are going with a two back offence at least part of the time. However Ti-cats fans have developed a love affair with Black RB Corey Holmes. Of course with what Holmes did last year in Sask (almost winning the MVP award), It's hard not to give him some credit and there's no doubt he's talented.

What I would do is move Holmes to Wide Reciever, which he can play and where the Ti-cats REALLY REALLY need him. That would give all three players in question a major role in the offence and avoid any serious locker room problems.Edited by: Ta Waki Mumba
