What he lacks in body size, Casillas makes up for with his reaction speed. His quick reflexes gave him the nickname "San Iker" among fans. Especially with his speed he is often superior to the opponent's attacks. His career as Spain's national goalkeeper lasted until his th international match with a record of zero goals.

We watched every penalty kick of every player until Each of us looked at the video material alone and added notes and remarks. When it finally came to the game, we sat down and compared what each of us had noted down. And then we looked at it together again.
The result: athletic versatility. In addition, Cech has no dominant foot. In addition to his leadership qualities, this made him an extremely valuable player. During this time, we worked mainly on developing his understanding of the game. I wanted a goalkeeper who plays with his eyes. For me, the goalkeeper is a regular player with two hands. That's the basis of my goalkeeper philosophy. When Petr came to Rennes, he wasn't familiar with this way of thinking.

So do you sacrifice a reliable player who may not have as high of a potential ceiling for a guy who, talent-wise, the sky is the limit but doesn't provide immediate return in such a "win now" league? That's why these decisions are tough. Joined Nov 16, Messages 5, Reaction score 1, Age Well I think that has more to do with them liking the overall depth not bringing in another LB usually isn't based on a single guy who may or may not make the final And I don't necessarily know that they see it differently I didn't really make an assertion on whether or not he'll be a good NFL player.
Not an arguement on the quality of the player, but rather the degree to which he can perform consistently and some insight as to why he may have not been drafted. I said that much in the OP Joined Mar 3, Messages 4, Reaction score 2, He also intercepted a pass in the preseason opener against Cincinnati. He appears to be seventh in the pecking order behind backups Jo-Lonn Dunbar, Troy Evans and Marvin Mitchell, all of whom are proven special teams assets.
But he has one last chance to plead his case, making him one of the most interesting players to watch in Thursday's game. If the Saints decide they don't have room on the roster for Casillas, they'll certainly try to pass him through waivers and re-sign him to their practice squad. SoggyBottomBoy I'm with you fellers. Staff member. Diamond VIP Contributor. First of all, if you knew anything about this guy.. You should know WHY he was not drafted?? If he did not get hurt in his last year of college, he would of been 2nd to 3rd round pick..
Now, I said this before give the guy a chance to perform, he is a rookie trying to start his NFL career.. If Casillas makes the active roster it'll speak highly of him in the sense that he has adjusted well in a short period of time and the coaches believe that he can provide more return than just a kamikaze player on kickoff coverage.
Good post Spam. If we had the choice, would it be Waters or Cassilas?
