The Malcolm Perry era begins

Before everyone reads too much into the drill numbers, be known that at the military academy First class are lucky to have an hour a day free time to prepare for these events. unlike the majority of drafted kids that attend camps for weeks on end just to improve on a field drill. These young men are the last of the scholar athletes.

Still, it’s only Annapolis, not West Point.

Era?

He's more likely the next Ross Ventrone - how many times did he sign/release/sign/release? Twenty?

Someone has to run the plays the Pats installed for Cam.

The geniuses over at FinHeaven seem split on this. Most of them wanted to keep him and thought he would contribute to their team this year. Some of them say it's just to get the playbook (that's what Jets fans said about Woodhead). Others are just ranting about Spygate.

Let’s also not forget who we play game 1, Perry’s former team. Probably still has the playbook on his iPad

Will be cut after game 1.

Typical Belicheat and the cheating cheatriots again taking advantage of this guy

You don’t say?

Yeah, I’m just having fun with my Navy friends.

Looks like he’s headed to the PS to me.

Makes sense - might be one of those moves they’ve done in the past, where they claim the guy for their 53, wait until everyone else gets their PS assembled, then release him and teams are now already done assembling their rosters so he goes unclaimed the 2nd time around and then resigns with the practice squad.

So his combine numbers aren't eye popping. Good, but not eye popping. I also decided to watch his highlights. I wasn't particularly impressed. The only thing I saw that looked like it might pop a bit was his single step acceleration when going north to south. Everything else was fairly mundane. With a project like this you'd hope for more elite athletic traits. Incomparison, look at Edelman's college highlights after looking at Perry's. You'll see he isn't all that close to having what it takes.

Perry is not a QB, emergency or otherwise. Anybody who watched Navy knows that passing was a last resort. His job was to run and to pitch. He has elusiveness and worked as a returner in camp for the Dolphins but never won that job.

I count only 6 throws in a five and a half minute highlight reel from 2019, which speaks to your point, although some would say one throw (3:30) Cam wouldn't have been able to pull off last year.

Maybe this guy is gonna be the next Welker who was "slow" - 4.65 40, "unathletic" 30 VJ, but strangely elusive and from the Dolphins (although I was hoping Ford was going to be that guy last year).

We need a pic of little Malcolm Perry running behind big Trent Brown

who is cut/placed on IR to make room for him?

Langi. Will be resigned after Harry goes to IR tomorrow.

Always good to have a couple of guys that you can throw the double pass with.

Perry can do some things teams sometimes don't invest much practice time into defending, at the very least.

I really like the perry signing. I do not know how long it will take him to learn the playbook, but if he gets a chance, he could be dynamic in our offense.

Makes you wonder if Bill/McDaniels had plays specifically drawn out for cam in short yardage/rz situations (think t.hill), all while Mac took the rest of the snaps. Cam balks at the idea ..demands to be released and here we are.

Hmm...
