R. Powell got some love

[Stopper22]

well Casey is always the brother that is talked about but Pat McCabe was asked who is the hardest to defend he said our boy Ryan take a look here Pat McCabe (http://www.majorleaguelacrosse.com/0,5911,1_401_0_38221,00.html) :clap

[RattlersVenom3]

HA

[lizlax22]

i talked to a guy on bridgeport and he said the hardest person he had to defend was mike powell (yes mike powell not C or R)

[Stopper22]

i belive it, mike is a great player. next year we will see.

[SweetLaxattack]

I think Mike Powell is unbelievable his stick skills are amazing his sense for the game and vision are just awsome younger players should watch how he plays the game then go out and practice like that

[dougm]

few tougher defenders than mccabe -- i'll take his word on it.

[RattlersVenom3]

lol:tongue

[Stopper22]

i can see where he is coming from Ryan does have alot of power along with speed. :clap

[RattlersVenom3]

True true:agree:agree

[NeMeSiS]

as good as mike is in college it will take him a while for him to ajust to the MLL

[MontclairLax]

na, his style fits pro perfect

[cannonslax624]

yeah montclairs right, i dont think mike will have any trouble whatsoever...especially since he'll be on a team with his two brothers, because now its certain..baltimore is taking tillman!

[MontclairLax]

u think there gonna stick with scherr, if they do, thats they stupidest descision u could make as a team, thats like letting doug johnson play over mike vick.

[jmplax31]

Mike should do fine in the pros, he plays an MLL kind of style anyway.

[MontclairLax]

tru dat

[cannonslax624]

stopper22, is that a JOKE? how do you figure that baltimore will take ANYONE besides tillman? what do they need most now?! im saying if they do not trade their pick, which they most probably won't they take tillman...what do you suggest they take mike powell? while mike powell is the best attack in the draft, what do they need? they have millon, sims marechek, gait,...they can hold their own for one more year...they need a GOALIE! what could u possibly think they would do, if they didnt trade it, with that pick? they have the 5th overall pick ALSO! let them take someone else then! but if they dont trade that pick, its not even a question right now!

[jmplax31]

we will see in the draft I guess, right now it seems like a toss up to me.

[cannonslax624]

jmp u really think that the bayhawks have just a good a reason to take powell over johnson? i know WE can't tell who theyll pick or what will happen...but still! Tillman Johnson is one of the players that I think are the future of this league...along with M. Powell, Kyle Barrie, Ryan Boyle, Walid Hajj...i mean but Tillman's cream of the crop...id be shocked if they took mike powell

[powellfan1]

With John Grant's injury along with Marshall Abrams, the Rattlers may now not want Tillman as much as they did. Look for them to make a trade, or draft someone else. Of course, we still have the whole college season to find a good guy too.

Chances of that are very slim to none. I think either powell or johnson is fine with the rattlers. I think maybe johnson fills a need mroe than powell, but idk.

Powell is going to turn into the Ryan Leaf of the MLL

[anjang86]

I can see it now (http://football.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=4255)

Honestly, as good as the powells are in field lax, I will think that gaits and marecheck and grant jr are the toughest, If the powells were sooooo tough, they would excell in box, but they flintch every time a real defenseman winds up a crosscheck, I'd play em dirty in MLL, as long as I get away with it, and it would sooooo work.....

And Casey does get played very very rough in the MLL trust me ive seen it real close, he gets beat upon eachand everytime he has the ball, and even when he dosent. But for some reason they just cant play box. Casey isnt that bad of a player in box hes descent. Even tho i would thin Ryan would be better, he seems a bit tougher.

[MontclairLax]

yupers. there just mad quick

[cannonslax624]

mike powell is NOT going to be anything like Ryan Leaf...he will succeed in the league without a doubt

[MontclairLax]

he will be better than both his bros

[Stopper22]

[MontclairLax]

i am

[cannonslax624]

i dunno if im sold on the fact he will be BETTER than his bros, but to say he will be an unsuccessful player in the mll is...well its just plain wrong, thats what it is

[MontclairLax]

in the fantasy league im picking mikey high, well not the high cuz he wont play every game but he will put up some points

[joeyp2003]

i like mike better then the other do well i just plain dont like casey im a gait bro myself but thats just cuz i am and i couldnt even tell you why

[cannonslax624]

that reminds me montclair...yo jmp, when are you gonna send out stuff on the fantasy league?

[jmplax31]

in about two weeks. The thing is that right now I'm in college and have all the info on my home computer, I'm going home in two weeks. So I'll start it then, and we will be drafting and such after that.

[powellfan1]

How many people can join the league, and is it free?

[jmplax31]

yeah I'm putting it on, but its full with twelve

[MontclairLax]

how will u do the points, will goals be worth more than assists, will hatricks get bonus, will goalie rating count(goalie rating is one lax.com), will we get a team d?

[jmplax31]

its kind of long and complicated, give me a couple weeks and I get can get everyone the rules, with pints and other stuff.

(by the way its a little :off in this thread so move fantasy disscusion to that thread)

[MontclairLax]

lol, true, ask mark bout that

[cannonslax624]

haha right SORRY FOR DISSENTING FROM THE TOPIC! ryan powell is an overrated cry baby that needs to grow up....hahaha im just KIDDING roc fans..just a complete joke...so wat do u guys think of the triple powell? its def coming

[MontclairLax]

i think its not gonna be that good, cuz they all have similair styles, in an offense, u need different types of players like shooterrs, dodgers, feeders

[cannonslax624]

yeah but all three can pretty much do everything they need to do..i think they'll be all set

[MontclairLax]

tru, they r pretty well rounded
