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  

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  

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?

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.

by tohereknowswhen on Jan 10, 2009 2:08 PM PST up reply actions  

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.

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  

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.

by GarethLewin on Jan 10, 2009 5:41 PM PST up reply actions  

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.

by GarethLewin on Jan 10, 2009 5:45 PM PST up reply actions  

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 think, to an extent, the reason running back committees work is that teams that run back committees run more

Advanced NFL Stats did this game theory look at play selection and it found a ~2 to 1 run to pass ratio was ideal. That’s one reason I’m thrilled with Knapp. He also goes for it a lot on 4th.

That's bad stastical analysis

Losing teams throw more and in more desperate situations. The interceptions don’t cause the teams to lose, the situation that forces teams to throw interceptions and the inherent flaw interceptions represent cause teams to lose.

by John Morgan on Jan 10, 2009 6:30 PM PST up reply actions  

I don't think they are saying that interceptions cause you to lose

they are saying that statistically teams that throw interceptions lose. It’s a correlation not causation.

And the relevance to this game was purely that the Cats are walking down the table nicely.

by GarethLewin on Jan 10, 2009 6:31 PM PST up reply actions  

Their thesis...
The official NFL gamebook says that the Ravens-Dolphins wildcard game ended Sunday at 3:56 p.m.
 
The Cold, Hard Football Facts say it ended at around 2:15 p.m., with 2 minutes, 30 seconds to play in the first half.
 
That’s when Miami quarterback Chad Pennington threw his second interception of the game – bad enough to throw picks in any playoff game, but this one made even worse by the fact that Baltimore’s Ed Reed returned it 64 yards for a touchdown.

is preposterous.

by John Morgan on Jan 10, 2009 6:33 PM PST up reply actions  

I'm not arguing.

I read a lot of football stats pages, all of them say stuff I agree with and stuff I find wrong.

All I was trying to point out was that table on the page, I’m no CHFF fanboy (Although I do enjoy reading their stuff).

Gee, you don't say.

Almost as revealing as that time Madden boldly claimed that the team with the most points at the end of four quarters would more than likely win the game. Heh.

With DRC’s development, what do you think we can expect out of Wilson next year?

Better ability to wrap on nickel blitzes

Some growing pains jumping on double moves, better timing on jump balls, probably more respect to be thrown away from.

Two good runs

Delhomme has 8 picks in their last two playoff games. Seattle completely solved their offense and it looks like Arizona has done likewise.

Just curious, but who do you think designed the gameplan that Hawks had to beat Carolina in 2005

Was it John Marshall, Ray Rhodes or someone else? It just seemed like Seattle ran a lot of different defensive schemes that we haven’t seen them do the past two seasons.

by MFAN on Jan 10, 2009 8:16 PM PST up reply actions  

They had a linebacker press

and release to a corner with safety help over the top. No reciever is going to be productive like that.

by Nate Dogg on Jan 10, 2009 8:23 PM PST up reply actions

I believe it was Bentley that was usually pressing Smith at the line. Don’t know why more teams don’t do that, I’ve never seen Steve Smith so frustrated (except at training camp when he’s punching his own players).
