I like these practices... did they do this last year?
I don't know...but are they replaying them at all at night? It sucks being stuck at work all day.I like these practices... did they do this last year?
Actually, a ton of guys are 5'10. But if someone is going to say that a guy who is built like a brick sh@thouse and has a track record of NFL success as a workhorse back ISN'T fit to be a workhorse back, but a smaller guy is, I'm going to point it out.COlinPriest Holmes is 5'9"LT2 is 5'10"Being 5'9" doesn't necessarily mean a RB is doomed to mediocrity.2 part question:1. Goings averaged 130 total yards on 26 carries and 4 catches per game as a starter. What part of that indicates that he's "not built to be a feature back?"2. What part of JJ Arrington being 5'9 indicates that he IS built to be a feature back?ColinCarolina talked with J.J. Arrington----------------That would be a great pick in the 3rd or 4th round. I don't think Foster will ever be able to stay healthy for an entire season and Goings isn't built to be a featured back.
If the NFL Network covered it we'd get 55 minutes of interviews with coaches spouting off endless platitudes and 5 minutes of the actual practice with commentary. Their coverage of the combine last year was a huge disappointment.No...but the bigger question...why is NFL Network not covering this?I like these practices... did they do this last year?
His YPC declined drastically after the first few games, which either showed that he wore down or just isn't fast enough. He has some skills, but he wasn't drafted for a reason. His YPC the last 5 games was 3.4 (137 for 464).The NFL is about speed and quickness and the truth is that Arrington has it and Goings doesn't.2 part question:1.

Matt Jones is "THE MOST LAID-BACK" athlete I have ever watched perform. Before, during and after, he appears nonchalant and even that he doesn't care. I heard him do a national sports radio interview immediately after a big win and he was eating pizza while he was talking to the interviewer in a live interview.He also has "natural" speed, he never looks like he is running hard, but then he is by his opponent, on the basketball floor as well as the football field.I just wonder if the NFL scouts will see that, at the Senior Bowl and at the Combine and question his attitude?He always looks like that. I'm not sure if he really isn't working hard or if he just moves so naturally that it just looks like it isn't.--Matt Jones showing a nice set of skills to be a possesion receiver, but not hustling like others
between cody, spears, roth, tuck, james, its going to be interesting to see how the DE's shake out - at least one of them should go top 10, and at least one should last into the 30s...DE Marcus Spears and DE Matt Roth were, according to GBN, the best playesr on the field in today's practice.
In watching some of the games, it appeared that D's were playing the run differently thus allowing more passing lanes. I think we improved passing numbers from Delhomme and Muhammad. Am I wrong on this?His YPC declined drastically after the first few games, which either showed that he wore down or just isn't fast enough. He has some skills, but he wasn't drafted for a reason.

To expand on GBN coverage, just listened to the first half of a COlin Lindsay radio report (midwest station, so players mentioned reflect that):Colin Lindsay GBN Report: SR Bowl Report on RadioGBN said that none of the North QBs (Orton, Orlovsky and Frye) were particularly accurate.
DE Marcus Spears and DE Matt Roth were, according to GBN, the best playesr on the field in today's practice.
:Mikhael Ricks::Onomo Ojo:1 WR Vincent Jackson 6-5 223 Northern Colorado
:FBGboardinAPRIL:
OOOh, look how tall! ANd 225 pounds? Wow...hes going to be an awesome NFL WR.
He is raw, he dropped some balls and he needs to work on paying more attention to the details but he certainly has the tools and will be a nice developmental prospect.
So what? Hes big and tall! Thats all a WR needs to be great.
Saturday (today), 4PM EST, on ESPN2, not ESPN!Saturday, 3 PM EST on ESPN.ESPN is also televising practice today at 3 PM ESTWhen is the actual game???

Actually 3:30 on ESPN 2.Saturday (today), 4PM EST, on ESPN2, not ESPN!Saturday, 3 PM EST on ESPN.ESPN is also televising practice today at 3 PM ESTWhen is the actual game???
No they have Championship Juggling on. Until then I'm listening to old school gangsta rap.So it's not on the Ocho?
Must be at 4, as Xavier Basketball is still on.Actually 3:30 on ESPN 2.Saturday (today), 4PM EST, on ESPN2, not ESPN!Saturday, 3 PM EST on ESPN.ESPN is also televising practice today at 3 PM ESTWhen is the actual game???
Wow ESPN really did not list properly on this one. I read 3:30 on ESPN2 at their site... originally 3 at GBN now GBN says 4 on ESPN. Whatever I'm guessing 4.Must be at 4, as Xavier Basketball is still on.Actually 3:30 on ESPN 2.Saturday (today), 4PM EST, on ESPN2, not ESPN!Saturday, 3 PM EST on ESPN.ESPN is also televising practice today at 3 PM ESTWhen is the actual game???
I think Mobile is 1 hr behind the East Coast,hence the 3:00PM start......Saturday At 4:00pmWhen is the actual game???
Ya makes since then. ####in time zones. :XI think Mobile is 1 hr behind the East Coast,hence the 3:00PM start......Saturday At 4:00pmWhen is the actual game???
Don't forget Shawn Merriman from Maryland and David Pollack. Merriman could be the first DE taken.between cody, spears, roth, tuck, james, its going to be interesting to see how the DE's shake out - at least one of them should go top 10, and at least one should last into the 30s...DE Marcus Spears and DE Matt Roth were, according to GBN, the best playesr on the field in today's practice.
BAMA, of course it's Central.I lived in Phenix City for a year, I should know better, but everything said "EST"I think Mobile is 1 hr behind the East Coast,hence the 3:00PM start......Saturday At 4:00pmWhen is the actual game???
Fumble by the dude from WV. Caddy hasn't even seen the turf yet.Fumble by Cadillac, recovered by Matt Roth.
Orton will never be decent if he doesn't work on his mechanics. His wind up throws take way too long.Orton just threw an INT. Anyone else think he's going to need 4 years to become a decent NFL QB like Brees?
Yeah, Kay Jay Harris coughed it up not Caddy.Fumble by the dude from WV. Caddy hasn't even seen the turf yet.Fumble by Cadillac, recovered by Matt Roth.
He'll be in the pro bowl.I'm really starting to wonder if Sproles could be more than a change of pace back even at his size?
I don't know about that. Even if he were to step up the team would need a goal line guy/short yardage. At best I think RBBC. A prime example is Quentin Griffin.He'll be in the pro bowl.I'm really starting to wonder if Sproles could be more than a change of pace back even at his size?
I'm thinking more - Mel Gray, Dante Hall type.I don't know about that. Even if he were to step up the team would need a goal line guy/short yardage. At best I think RBBC.

With Sproles size I just can't decide if he could carry the load. I agree his team would need a goal line/short yardage back. But that doesn't mean he couldn't do a lot of damage. I also like Sproles a lot better than Q. Griffin. What was Barry Sanders height and weight when he first came into the league?I don't know about that.

http://www.sportsline.com/collegefootball/...NORTHSR@SOUTHSRIs there a game tracker for this anywhere? If so could someone provide a link please. I'm at work and want to follow. Yeah this thread is great (and thank you), but would like to see a play by play if possible.
Once again Quentin Griffin. Don't start the Barry Sanders bull ####. Sanders had like 2,700 yrds rushing at like 7.6 ypc in his one big college season. He owuld have been a stud his first two seasons but a back by the name of Thurman Thomas was ahead of him.With Sproles size I just can't decide if he could carry the load.

Hey Jackass you brought up Q. Griffin. Obviously Sproles isn't Barry Sanders, but I just wanted to see if someone knew off the top of their head his size coming into the league as a point of reference. Have a beer and settle down snapperhead.Once again Quentin Griffin. Don't start the Barry Sanders bull ####. Sanders had like 2,700 yrds rushing at like 7.6 ypc in his one big college season.

Yep, but the interview after it was better. Think he can write his name?Anyone see the TD run?
Don't be so quick to judge...The reason he shys away from interviews just like that is because he has a speech impediment! It is not his fault. He can't do anything about it. Check out the ESPN insider review of him - "Is intelligent and versatile. Picks things up very quickly."Yep, but the interview after it was better. Think he can write his name?Anyone see the TD run?
