Matt Paradis

Bronco Links – 11/7/15 | Bronco Planet

“I think Matt’s really, for what we do — he has strong hands and he stays square. He’s smart and he gets everybody on the same page. I think that he’s tied that group together. If there were mistakes early, they’ve started to reduce, but I think that’s experience. I think he’s done a really good job.”~Rick Dennison on center Matt Paradis.

As far as Offensive linemen go - Matt Paradis is an exciting player. In my opinion - he has all pro potential. Improvement in the Oline this season will - all stem from Paradis at Center. You can just see his confidence level rising with each game.

what got me excited as all get up was his wheels .. nothing has changed the man can flat out run . in Centers that is really rare ..he hits his targets I have counted 3 targets hit at the point of attack in college in one play ..that is crazy good .

Yes - this thread was Crash bait. I think Crash used to live up there in the piney woods of Idaho - where civilization has its owns rules.

I was born in a little town named Oakley Idaho .. a few pines there but most of it Desert.... I love the Desert by the way Mingo.. this hot ass tropical stuff is for the birds.. .

Yes I love my Idaho.... mingo is right the topic of Paradise is like a fresh Dope to a Dope dealer...

When I lived in Arkansas near Kingston - my neighbors were from Idaho - their youngins would lace their grandmother's pipe tobacco with marijuana - had family recipes for squirrel and possum and always had some kind of impressive knife in their hand or belt.

lol Mingo ... is that headed to Jonesboro ?

I like it here ... But I love it in Idaho ...

Southeast of Fort Smith - just north of the Oauchita National forest. Hot Springs is on the south side of the forest - I'd say 50-60 miles from Fort Smith - 100-130 miles from Jonesboro.

heck you lived in the same area ...but you live in the boonies .. I live by I-40 on the river ..about 30 miles from were you lived.

Matt Paradis when he is done will probably be a Head Coach in College .. He is perfect for our team .

To do what I was doing - 40 years ago - you had to live in the boonies.

Great kid. Works his ass off and stays very humble. 8 man football to a walk on at BSU. I am so happy he is seeing the fruits of his labor.

So crazy coincidence but I was born in a town called Oakley as well. Just a different state.

As long as you don't ask me if Oakley Sunglasses are made in my home town.

Oakley Dokley - as they say on the Simpsons.

Back on topic - Good for Paradis. I was ready to give up on him after the first few weeks of the season.

With Garcia, Schofield and Paradis - it now looks like the Broncos have some young talent to develop together.
