Talons Tryouts - November 28th, 2010 (Tulsa)

Hello Talons faithful. This morning the Talons held open tryout at Soccer City. This post will be mostly a media post with videos from the tryouts and pictures. I do have to say it was good to see Steve Watson and Antwon Floyd out on the field helping out the coaching staff. As most are aware by now, Floyd has decided to sit out this season to recover from an injury he sustained at the end of the season. Also watching the tryouts was former Talons star wide receiver Donovan Morgan. Morgan signed with the Philadelphia Soul for next season but still stopped by to support the Talons.

I will say there was some talent at the tryouts. There were some that during speed drills made me verbally go "wow". I'm unsure whether any of the guys will make the roster, but there should be a few that make it to training camp.

Well I was gonna make an elaborate post about a kid who does everything right. However, I think Rick Couri at KRMG has it covered:

In other news, Talons are having tryouts on the 28th and I am planning to attend. I will try to have pictures, video, and writeup that day. Sorry for the lack of posts over the last few weeks, work has been hectic but I haven't forgot about you Talons faithful!

Talons finally sign a QB, but who is he?

Today the Talons signed QB Rico Watkins, the 2009 MVP player for the Oklahoma Thunder football team.
