Kale Edwards in the Portal
- Thread starter PDXGrizzly
- Start date
Damn. I thought he could be the real deal with his speed. That is two very fast defensive players lost. Wonder what the whole stories are with them entering during this late period after winter condo and spring ball.

Edwards didn’t want to play DE.

I’ve got to think that running a 3 D lineman scheme has got to be somewhat of a deterrent for athletes with pro aspirations to play in. Most scouts will look first at stats at the FCS level and 99% of your FCS D lineman will not put up eye popping stats in a 3 D line scheme. You’ve got to really dive into they’re film and see that they’re doing their 1/11th to help the D which will make a path the NFL very difficult.

He’s a natural OLB at the NFL.
I get the sarcasm. That said, Kale is different because he played an entire career for the Griz before entering the portal.

He likes TE too.

I wouldn’t leave a school I’d been at and liked for 3 years and where I had a chance at more championship runs. And the girls.

It’s about 3-9 football and cold winters. And low and declining attendance. 13,000.
Got it. Thanks. So, what's the vesting period? 2 years, 3 years? I just want to know which ones we can call quitters.
The most common vesting period is 3-5 years for employee stock options.

I view Edwards’ and McDowell’s situations as being much different.
In what way, other than timing?

The end result is the same but the road they traveled to get there is apples and oranges. Even someone like me who didn’t play the game can see that

That was quick. Me thinks this was already in the works.
Well, I like players who want to be here.The end result is the same but the road they traveled to get there is apples and oranges. Even someone like me who didn’t play the game can see that
So, in your mind (if I'm understand correctly), if McDowell had waited until the completion of spring ball, determined he wasn't going to be in the running for the starting position, and THEN left we'd all be fine with it/him?The end result is the same but the road they traveled to get there is apples and oranges. Even someone like me who didn’t play the game can see that

No, not even close. McDowell was a hired mercenary that attended U of M for one semester. He did an amazing job and will probably go down as one of my top 5 fav Griz QB’s. Kale committed here out of high school, practiced and played for 4+ years, and is now taking a chance to elevate his NFL stock. Playing in a 3 man front as DE for the Griz wasn’t gonna do it. How the heck did you come to that conclusion? You definitely did not understand me correctly.
