k-train Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 He was actually a possibility to attend minicamp with the Falcons (or the Saints ), but got signed by the Cardinals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papachaz Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 wasn't this someone that was mentioned around here a good bit before the draft? The video looks good, but then most highlight vids try to do that, LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-train Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Former BYU FB Paul Lasike has received an invite to the Atlanta Falcons minicamp for a tryout.Lasike made a successful transition to the BYU Football team from the Cougars' rugby team, rushing for 843 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground in three seasons in Provo. Lasike contributed through the air (322 receiving yards & 2 receiving TDs), in the return game (301 return yards), and on special teams (7 tackles) as well. Lasike also won several National Championships with the BYU Rugby team.The 5-11, 248-pound Lasike is a powerful back with great yards after contact ability. Lasike has decent speed for his size. He can be a very difficult back to bring down and could very good in short yardage and goal-line situations. He is also very good catching the ball out of the backfield. Lasike will need to improve his blocking in passing situations if he wants to stick in the NFL.Lasike had a decent showing at his Pro Day (via nfldraftscout.com): 40-yard dash - 4.83Vertical jump - 31 inchesBroad jump - 110 inches20-yard shuttle - 4.333-cone drill - 7.23Off-the-field, Lasike is a high character player who would be a positive in any locker room. Like many players at BYU, Lasike took two years off during his college years to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Lasike served his mission in Alabama. Overall, Lasike is a developmental prospect at the fullback position. He'll have some work to do to make a 53-man roster, but if he can learn quickly, make the most of his tryout, and improve his blocking he'll have a shot.

MarkMc44 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 But, we already have a fullback! Oh, that's right, he dropped a sure touchdown pass once.......GO FALCONS !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of God Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 But, we already have a fullback! Oh, that's right, he dropped a sure touchdown pass once.......GO FALCONS !!!This is the type of thing I'm talking about. You should disagree if you want to, but this is just garbage. I disliked Paul DiMarco a LONG time before that drop. Maybe when we signed him as a "camp body" then he did nothing particularly special except whiff blocks and nothing else. Then he is no help as a runner. NONE. So, all of this dropping a pass crap...that's just what keep s some folks feeling warm at night.Thing is, maybe if we were to raise the standard anyways...who knows...

Knight of God Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 I've watched every college game of Lasike's. He's a heck of a player.Okay, now you would have the insight. Tell us a little bit. I have only known who he was when we were giving him a tryout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen him catch the ball well out of the backfield and engage his blocking assignments. Maybe he'll look better too when he's blocking past the line of scrimmage. BTW, the loves in my life and my hard work keep me warm at night!GO FALCONS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen him do much except be below avg and if Mooney had not been hurt, DiMarco would be hanging with Hawley right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjerry Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 But, we already have a fullback! Oh, that's right, he dropped a sure touchdown pass once.......GO FALCONS !!!I don't really give much of a **** about how he catches passes, or even how he runs tbh. Those things are gravy for me. The thing that a FB needs to do, and do well, first and foremost, is block and open up holes in the run game. Dimarco is, at best, mediocre at this.
