NFL Preseason

nub fans not happy with kade. lol.

“I was a walk-on and no one wanted me,” Kade said in May. “Didn’t have any offers. Went to Nebraska, they didn’t want me. Went to Kansas State, took a couple years, finally got there, didn’t get drafted. So it’s been a lot of twists and turns and a lot of adversity, so to be here, to put on this jersey, to go out there and play football — it’s literally just a dream come true for me.”

A lot like his old man. I would never under estimate a Warner, they just keep proving people wrong at every level along the way. So many NFL scouts get hung up on measurables and they forget to look for football players. Some guys are just that "football players". Their production can't be ignored, but scouts do it all the time because all scouts are most of the time are former players who no longer play. So many of these players, coaches, etc are just regular guys getting paid a shit ton of money to coach or be involved in a kids game. They aren't rocket scientists.

While I agree on Warner, scouts are paid to find talent that can contribute and most don't want to take chances and look stupid. Somebody thought enough of Warner to give him a shot though, so kudos to them but it's easy for us to sit here and criticize them for missing on some guys. If you went around and saw the guys they get to see first hand, Kade wouldn't likely make your list either. These guys see phenomenal talent, day in and day out, and unless you spend a trememdous amount of time with Kade he isn't going to stand out. I can totally understand scouts overlooking him. I hope he capitalizes on his opportunity. I'm rooting for him.

well, they really didn't want him (even though he was a captain) at Nubbie land.

that said: this is GREAT press for KState and talented, good kids who might want to come here. arguably, Kade didn't make a HUGE splash while here (not a number 1 receiver)... but boy was he clutch at times and I loved watching him play.

Duece has a 21 yd punt return. Which is the Cowboys highlight

With Sproles and now Deuce K-State is famous for sensational small backs. But they were not the first.

Skylar had a good day against the Texans. Three touchdown passes.
Looks like he may be #2.

“I thought Skylar did a great job handling everything,” McDaniel said. “You want to see from him how fast he was getting in and out of the huddle. You could tell it was an emphasis from him as well as it was for me, and he didn’t get bogged down with a play. There were some plays that he’d want back, but then he continued to press forward and try to make some plays, and I think he did a great job of that, some on-schedule, some off-schedule, and the key will be to go watch the tape and get better from that moving forward.”

I think Deuce looks even faster in the pros than he did in college. Maybe it's the extra large linemen he's running behind keeps him hidden. Then, when he gets an opening behind those Cowboy giant oaks, he kicks in the afterburners. Wish the Chiefs would've spent a draft pick on him, but he seems to be excelling in Big D.

disappointing the chiefs don't play the boys this fall. i'd love to see deuce take them apart.

Is this McDaniels way of saying they lost in the playoffs last year because Sky couldn't get the play to the team and out of the huddle to the line? It sure looked, to me, like Skylar was looking to the sideline waiting for them to get their stuff together and get the call in to him in that game @ Buffalo...
