Hamid Mahmoudi In CFL

I should first of all clarify that I played football in Canada and not the states so the level is very different. For us, 4.5 would be a superstar time (but maybe our coaches did not time us correctly because they were doing it with stop watches) But even still, in the NFL the top guys are 4.3.. there might be one or two people below that and the fast guys are all below 4.5 so thats why i said 4.5 is a good time for a cfl CB but maybe ur right maybe 4.4 would be more suited since hes a CB but u gota understand the difference in the levels... those numbers u quoted sounded crazy to me ur high school system is as good as our college system.
Our offense was run oriented, with tricky counter runs.. I had a lot of opportunity to audible and id say we did 65% running and 35% passing and we had some crazy black runningbacks they would make the passing game a breeze.
I have a very good arm for some reason.. I dunno why and i wish instead i had that type of raw talent in soccer because im too short for QB. I could through 60, 65 but my specialty was a 40 yarder on a rope (straight line no arc on the throw) We went to the regional finals and lost narrowly my last year. It was very hard to see over the O line sometimes and there were times i would guess the receivers position. The backup QB was this tall white dude made for the position but he was one year younger and they let me lead the team till i graduated
There is plenty more to QB than just throwing.. its about managing the game and not everyone can do it.. u gota be a lil smarter than the average football player.. its cool that u played with Kyle Bowler you have witnessed some high level football in ur time!

Just one correction I didn't play with Kyle Boller I played against his team and it was a technicality we lost. We were up 14-10 and we forced their defense to a three and out. Our pass rusher blocked the punter and ran it back to the house, so we should of won 21-10 but we got called for a roughing the kicker penalty. The kicker acted and got away with it.

Here is the thing that most people don't undestand. #1 those stop watches make you two tenths of a second faster. Try running the 40 in your high school and in the combine which are measured through a laser guided sistem. The difference between a 4.3 and a 4.5 is having enough speed to go to the D gap and break it for a touchdown or get stuffed for a two yard loss.

By the way I know that there is more to being a quarterback than throwing the football. The quarterback is the leader of the football team that is why the offensive linemen break their ribs for him. They got to believe in you otherwise they won't block for you with passion. You need to be the manager and not try to win the game on every down and let the game come to you. That is what most high school quarterback's and even college quarterbacks don't understand.

Oh and just for your info high school football in Southern California is played at the highest level along with Texas and Florida. Those are the three hot spots for HS football. The way you make it sound I"ll bet I would of been the star defender on your team.

My position the middle linebacker aka the MIKE position is like being the quarterback on defense. As the MLB you are responsible for anyone who comes up the middle and it's not just brute force either. You as the MLB need to read the quarterback and also change up the defense if you see an audible. You are basically acting like the quarterback on defense.

Who cares about the money , he is trying to improve and make it to the top !
his name is at least out there !

CFL players on average don't make a lot. i think ali has it right (about 30K for a rookie).

[ali alipour]

Nah that is the min wage dude, i read that starting players get from 120k-300k a season.
It has a 4.05 Million Salary Cap, so it has its restrictions. Most Australian sports including football has a salary cap so nothing to out of the ordinary.

The guy asked how much would a draft pick make. Yes a star player might get that much but a rookie gets a max of 30 000 im pretty sure

[The-Iron-Ghost]

30 000 max cfl pay isnt that big

NO! A 4.5 is considered slow my friend by football standards. I could run a 4.5 and I was considered just average but of course in So Cal and in Southern Florida we are faster, but even at the CFL level a 4.5 for a cornerback is horrible.
BTW I am jealous of you I never had an arm to be a quarterback. I could chuck it 50 yards and I'm accurate but our starting QB was 6'6 250(solid muscle) and he could hurl it 75 yards his 40 time was a 4.4 He took a full scholarship to Oregon but he sat next to Joey Harrington. He was such a good athlete though he started for Mike Bellotti(SP) as Oregon's middle linebackr.
If you were my height 6f you would of been perfect. So what kind of an offense did you guys run? We ran your traditional west coast offense at Crescenta Valley High and went 12-1 our senior year losing to Hart 17-14 in the Division 2 finals. They had a young quarterback by the name of Kyle Boller you might know him as the former starter for the NFL Baltimore Ravens and a Cal Berkley standout.

He is a friend of mine , He got drafted picked in the 3round #20 by the BC Lions . I remember we used to play soccer together a lot and I remember he had some mad cardio he was running all over there filed even thogh he was still clubbing and stuff lool . Its a bit late news but Congrats to him .
Hey thnx for the post and the video of ur friend i used to be starting QB in highschool but i had problems seeing over the O line because im only 5'8.. just out of curiosity do you know what his 40 time is? (his 40-yard dash time its a popular measurement in Football and a perfct indicator of his speed) I think his time must be like 4.5 cuz he needs to make up for being a little too short but he is deff not too small for a CB people that say that dont know football!

Well Done to your friend,
just curious, how much would a CFL draft pick get paid?

30 000 max cfl pay isnt that big

Jesus F'in Christ, are you a masochist?

Tell me about it and my college football team is Michigan State.(at least we are now a decent Big 10 top four team) Hey Raiders might actually go 7-9 or 8-8 and be at least a respectable team. As for Detroit they are not even in rebuilding mode they are like in pre rebuilding mode. I like Matt Stafford last year though that was a solid pick. I would watch Bo Jackson and Barry Sanders as a kid so that is how I ended up following Raiders and Lions.

If Bo Jackson didn't get injured, he would of probably had the greatst career at RB. I was there in LA when Bo Jackson got injured against Cincinatti.

[Persiantiger]

Yes they are , The thing is about CFL is that we only 8 teams so every team still makes it to the playoff . And The BC Lion won the grey cup like in 2006 against montreal and the year after they were in the final also but they lost . He plays as a CB and He used to play in Vanier college I think I'm not sure but then he continued his career in University of Montreal

Playing CB is probably in my book the toughest position on defense to play and here is why. I started out as a CB my junior year but I had decent speed not blazing speed for a CB. I tacked on 25 pounds to bump up from 5'10 180 to 6f' 210 in the off season, and they put me in at ROLB(Right outside linebacker).

As a CB you are on the field like everyone else, but in reality it's like you are on your own island. The average wide receiver has an advantage over the average CB because the WR knows what route to run. You also really need to learn fast how to read the quarterback so you can pick off his passes. The only thing that really helped me become a good LB is because I learned how to read the quarterback as a CB.

Well best of luck to your friend and keep us updated with his season. One day I would like to coach high school football. I honestly think that young Iranian Americans can thrive in American football because you don't necessarily need to be a giant. If you have speed, and most Iranians do, you are golden to play a skilled position like WR, Quarterback or RB. Football helped me out with discipline and I would love to help some young Iranian kid one day and coach.

this is our setareh of cfl, please dont post bad comments on him
