Supposedly he worked out ith Miami last week I beleive.

[ryven]

still not to late maybe we could get him here for a work out he is one of those guys I am not sure I want the fins to have.

When the season finished here in Edmonton, he said he had at least a dozen teams to work out with in December and January.

Buffalo was not one of the teams on his list.

Miami workout

From the Denver Post The Broncos are one of the many teams bidding for Edmonton Eskimos quarterback Ricky Ray, considered the CFL's top young passer. Ray, 24, led Edmonton to the Grey Cup title in November, completing 22-of-34 passes for 301 yards, two touchdown passes and no interceptions against Montreal. He also ran for a score. It's not like Denver's interest is new or sudden. Ray worked out for 11 teams at the Broncos training complex on Dec. 14, and he will be in Miami this week to audition for the Dolphins.

It's too bad too, be cause he's a great QB, worth taking a look at.

The only thing is the man is he light 6'3" 210

But he's fast, he'd be a cheaper version of Michael Vick.

So your saying he's just as fast a runner and has as good an arm?!

If he was to play for buffalo I think I would want him to add atleast 15 pounds.

Well in three down ball here in Canada he threw for 4600+ yards and ran for 352. He also had 13 ints vs 35 tds

Im not saying he is bad I am just saying is he is light for a QB his hieght

[CWOUSARET]

i'd give him a shot but he did do it on a field that is considerably wider and therefore built for spreading receivers and making bigger gaps. he's have to prove to me he could play on our field with nfl level defenses - not a canadian bacon d.

Buffalo has been mentioned in the past as a team that had interest. Presumably TD has his feelers out there and the lines are open with Ricky Ray's agent. Supposedly Ricky Ray's strengths are his ability to read defences and the fact that he is unflappable. He moves well in the pocket but is no Michael Vick. I think the closest comparison in the NFL right now might be Tom Brady. Hmmm.

He's CFL great. That translates into NFL career backup.
