Surprised about Schnell .. thought he did enough. He'll get another shot for sure. Bears are loaded at Receiver so that won't happen. But have to believe some other roster has an opening for guy like Schnell. Probably needs a little more weight, but he will only get bigger and better in next 2 years.

Bello .. no matter what happens to him, he will always be my favorite ISUr FBS grad transfer story .. mired on 3rd string and special teams at U of I as 4th year SR, last gasp transfer to ISU, than 1 year later makes an NFL game roster .... hope he lands one more time.

Davontae Harris.... spellchecked !! :D He should also get another serious shot. I still think he should just move to safety. His numbers scream Safety more than corner .. just needs to add 5 lbs maybe.

Way to represent Redbird Nation guys !!!

Anyone looking to squeeze something else from your ESPN+ subscription - Tre Roberson and the Calgary Stampeders are on in an hour or so.

James O’Shaugnessy has a torn ACL. Total bummer. He was really emerging as a favorite target for Jax. Here’s to a healthy and speedy recovery!

That is really a tough break .. never a good time, but better early in season, than later ... it improves his chances for returning by next season. So I think he's more likely to be given another shot.

Best wishes to James

No Redbirds on the initial draft list for the XFL. That might say something about the caliber of player we have been producing over the last 4 years...

Two ISU Harrises are starting for the Broncos today. Shelby, nowat DE, and DB Davonte. Sorry if I spelled that wrong, phonetics. Both are having good games - Shelby with a sack, Davonte with several passes defended. Broncos D pitching a shutout in the third.

BJ Bello signed with NYJets earlier today

Good for BJ Bello ... wait, I just had yet another brilliant idea. Spack should invite BJ back next year as an honorary game captain for our game against U of I .

All in favor ... say, screw those Illini !!!

All not in favor ... uh, keep it to yourselves.

I am shocked ISU marketing people have neve r asked me for help. I'll justkeep doing this struf pro bono I guess.

:mrgreen:

I know it will be in conflict with the ISU hoops game, but Canadian Football League playoffs are on today at 3:30pm on ESPN2, and Tre Roberson and Calgary will be playing at 3:30pm Tre's got 7 picks on the year, 2nd in the league.

Ok so BJ signed and played in a game 2 weeks ago - got one tackle but was then cut to make room for a draft pick who was coming off of IR. Must have made impression since he was resigned to active roster today at

Devante Harris is entrenched in the Broncos secondary now. Fangio speaks highly of him.

That is a great spot for Devontae to be. He's got a veteran no nonsense HC in Fangio who loves larger physical corners that can tackle and he's got one of the best secondary coaches in the last 30 years in Ed Donatell. Those guys demand toughness and being assignment sound and that is exactly what Harris brings.

in addition he's on a rebuilding team that will give young players a chance to play. Best thing for him was getting out of Cincy.

Granted there are at least 2 or 3 possible differnt spellings of his first name, and I had to look it up to be sure ... but it is DAVONTAE HARRIS.

Congrats Davontae !!!!!!!!!!!
