On an unrelated note...

What sites are used to find the old combine numbers that are spit out on occasion? I’ve been trying to find old numbers and having very little luck.

NFLDRAFTSCOUT

one word, put in prospect name and nfldraftscout and you should find something.

by John Morgan on Jan 10, 2009 12:17 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Well

I was just curious if John pays, cause I’ve used the site before and usually don’t get a whole lot of numbers.

by cashless on Jan 10, 2009 2:23 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

I don't

You have to circumvent their protection by searching through Google.

I can find most of the numbers I need there. Other stuff just takes more searching.

McCoy

What are the chances we’d draft Gerald McCoy with 1.04? Do you think he can become Haynesworth – the draftee version? I don’t know if he plays the ‘other’ DT spot next to ’Bane or not. Is the the disruptor we need?

McCoy looks good

There’s a very good chance he doesn’t declare.

I'd put him at left guard, but give him line calling duties.

Of course, from there he could play anywhere we needed. Hopefully, the line is picked apart by vultures again.

I doubt Ruskell picks Robinson, so Unger becomes my next choice.

Having an insurance plan for Locklear if he stumbles next year would be nice.

Gotta look at Moore's 2007 season

last year he was AWESOME on a pretty mediocre defense. This season, lots of nagging injuries (bruised heel, bruised ribs) robbed him of some speed—the kind of stuff you can play through, but you’re just not healthy. He didn’t embarrass himself this season, but wasn’t a difference-maker.

by Sir_Fiendish on Jan 10, 2009 2:12 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

With all the talk about running back being an overrated position and teams being able to find a good back anywhere

I hope people see Johnson and know that great running backs do exist and a talent like Johnson’s can transform an offense.

by John Morgan on Jan 10, 2009 2:15 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Steven Jackson

not that he can overcome total suckiness from the rest of the offense. Portis when he was healthy and running in Zorn’s WC—not that that’ll ever happen again. I think a talented back could do that for Arizona…

I think the problem isn’t that backs are completely fungible, only that coaches fail to realize how short the window is for good backs. I would add one every 3-5 years and ship them out as soon as they slowed down.

Not late

That’s a house cleaning.

John, I try to follow your thoughts, but where do you stand on Crabtree?

I realize everyone is optimistic during the offseason, but if we don’t trade down I really want Crabtree. Am I crazy? (I realize a lot of people want him and I’m not unique, I just wonder what you think)

I was just thinking that.

A really, really star caliber WR completely changes your offense. They’re just flinging the ball up to him, and there’s not much Carolina can do.

A guy like that would make Matt an all-star.

Warner to Fitz

reminds me of Brady to Moss last year. Like you said, throw it to him and the defense can’t do anything to stop it.

Just I think Brady→Moss was used more.

I'm just thinking that with a our new OC that prefers sets with less receivers

Crabtree + Carlson + Hass(not the receiver) healthy throwing less and getting hit less = a good passing game to complement our obviously new emphasis on running.

I haven't seen enough to know a lot. Obviously, I've seen him be awesome, but I want see everything before I say much.

I really haven’t transitioned into prospect scouting, but I do think Seattle should pick someone safe at 4 and Crabtree seems pretty safe.

Yeah, not sure about that.

But, y’know, linebackers coach.

And lest anyone miss this, this team is going Tampa 2 in a big way.

I've been thinking of that

Doesn’t that spell doom for our favorite gritty veteran?

very little resume on him beyond 0-16 suckage

And tampa 2 for sure. Thats likely adios to Hill and hello to a Suggs and a Suh type lineman.

It’s frustrating to see them go a different direction with the defense when the offense is starting to crumble.

Bradford? Please, God no.

He reminds me of Danny Wuerffel

Their games remind me of one another,

nothing more. The way they move in the pocket, arm strength, I see similarities. Granted it’s been 10 years or so, but I’m not optimistic about him as a franchise QB.
