This was the first of what should be a couple of very interesting weekends in the NFL. The Scouting Combine in Indianapolis began this weekend and we're less than a week away from the start of free agency in the NFL - kicking of Friday at midnight. Needless to say there's lots to talk about. So let's discuss some.
Quick thoughts on various topics from Combine
There was obviously a lot to talk about from the first two "workout days" of the Scouting Combine. Below are just some of my initial impressions that I wanted to share:
- Golden Tate and Arrelious Benn might have just moved their draft stock from late first round or early second round to mid to late first round. Tate's 4.42 40 time was faster than many thought he'd run after seeing Tate get caught from behind on a number of occasions last year. Tate also dropped a couple of passes early during his workout but recovered well. He didn't really have drop issues in college so a couple of drops won't hurt him in this process. But the questions about his route running remain. Benn, meanwhile, displayed outstanding hands all workout long and ran faster than many thought he would (mid 4.5s). At 6'1, 220, Benn would be a big target who can also get down the field and who has a 37 inch vertical leap, allowing him to go up and get the football. But both Tate and Benn might have moved themselves too far up, making Miami's chances of landing either of these guys (if they even wanted to) much more difficult.
- Two receivers who hurt their stock were Mardy Gilyard and Jordan Shipley. Both had question marks about their speed and we saw why on Sunday. Gilyard has the hands to play receiver in the NFL but was unable to run a sub 4.6 40. He does have some quickness, though. But how much will his limited speed hurt him in the draft? Shipley, meanwhile, looked like he lacked both speed and quickness. some people wanted to compare the 5'11 Shipley to a Wes Welker type of receiver. But he, too, ran a disappointing 40 and looked slow in and out of his breaks during his workout on Sunday.
NFL strongly considering a change to OT
I find it it funny that the very topic we debated here a few weeks back is now up for debate within the NFL's competition committee. The NFL is strongly considering making a change to their overtime system - likely just for the postseason (at least right now). While the idea that is expected to be voted on by the committee in the coming weeks isn't one of the ideas I outlined for you, it's an improvement from the current system.
You'll remember my biggest gripe with the current overtime system is how the team who wins the coin toss could win the football game by playing for a field goal. Well this proposed change would fix that. Per various reports, the idea being tossed around would allow both teams to touch the football in overtime - unless the team that receives OT's opening kick scores a touchdown.
Here's the proposal. The team that receives would win the game if they score a touchdown. If they settle for a field goal, then the other team would get a chance to either match their field goal OR win by scoring a touchdown. If the game remains tied after each team touches the ball, then it goes back to sudden death with the first team to score winning the game.
I still stand by my "first to score six points" idea - eliminating either team from winning by kicking only one field goal - but this idea isn't bad. It eliminates the biggest gripe I had with the current system. But why is this change reportedly only for the postseason? Why not make it like this in the regular season as well?
I just don't get that at all. But at least it's a step in the right direction.
QUICK HITS
-Edgar Thompson is reporting that while it's been believed Ronnie Brown would be under contract if 2010 is uncapped, that's not true and that he would actually be a restricted free agent. Somebody brought up to Thompson via his Twitter page that Ronnie himself said if there's no new CBA, an option would kick in to keep him signed through 2010. But Thompson responded simply by saying to "trust" him. So now I don't know what to believe.
-WQAM has lost the rights to broadcast Dolphin games in 2010. The Dolphins decided not to exercise their option with WQAM, reportedly because Clear Channel lured them away. It's being rumored that the Dolphins will be on both Y-100 FM (providing better sound quality) and one of Clear Channel's AM stations. But who is in the booth is anyone's guess.
-The NY Daily News' Rick Cimini - one of the best football writers in the country - doesn't think Chad Pennington will be back with the Dolphins. He writes, "Here's what I can tell you: He will not re-sign with the Dolphins. The Dolphins want to go with Tyler Thigpen and Pat White as their backup QBs." Cimini knows his stuff and has very good sources around the entire league. I'll believe him on this one. CP won't be back in Miami.

I really like the radio move, the new station should bring a new taste to the coverage and now we’ll hear 560’s real opinion. I guess they had to decide between Sid and the Dolphins, cash wise. I’m not a fan of Joe Rose anyway so I hope he doesn’t follow them over to 940.
Love the OT changes.

If there’s any ounce of realism to that “story” I’ll be shocked. Where does BR get their information from? I don’t see Rex being idiotic enough to get rid of one of the best secondary men in the league, nor do I see that many picks or high-end players being thrown around.
I would assume Darrell Revis has a great contract for the Jets, and he is one of (if not the) best young corner in the league, save for Awesome-wah. No way this is true.
I haven’t listened to their radio shows, so it kind of means nothing to me. As far as the combine stuff goes.. meh. Draft’s too far away yet. Just can’t wait for Friday.

Morgan and Pierre Paul
are the 2 most recent names that I have begun some research on. I have a gut feeling that its just too early for an ILB at 12. I’m beginning to feel that our Trifecta will go for that outside pass rusher. Im just not sure if Morgan has the speed to be an outside guy in a 3-4. He seems more of an end in a 4-3. On the other hand, I get alittle worried that Jason Pierre Paul is the next Gholston. I really wouldn’t be upset if we went Dan Williams here.
Lotta love for D. Williams
But is he the next Ron Brace? If we go NT, it would have to be after the 1st, there is no clear cut dominant NT. Maybe Morgan has more of the strength they’re looking for on the strong side? With JT (if he hangs) and Wake rotating on one side, maybe they’re looking for a bigger athletic version of Roth…..a stout edge setter with some pass rush moves.
Sure would love to see.....

Regarding Dez Bryant:
Three sources familiar with the situation tell Yahoo’s Jason Cole that Dez Bryant’s behavior in college was “consistently irresponsible.”
“I wouldn’t draft that kid unless I had someone to wake him up in the morning to get to meetings, someone to wake him up for practice and someone to wake him up for games,” one source said. Another source stressed that Bryant wasn’t just late to meetings, practice, or warmups. He was often late to actual games. Yet another characterized Bryant as “just goofy.”

Vontae’s “attitude problem” Turned off alot of teams and look at him, not a peep.

There's a difference
Dez has history of being late, off-field trouble, lying to NCAA. Keeps company with the Diva crowd. Vontae had one game where he was benched for the first series, then played the rest of the game. Coach was giving the young talent a small ego-check for a series, and even went to bat for Vontae later, saying the incident was severely overblown. Vontae has always exhibited commitment, work ethic, pride in his craft……Dez not so much.
I saw that too, and I have not been on the Dezwagon, and that assured that I will not get on it

Tate or Benn
falling to us in the 2nd would have to make you think, they are both intriguing prospects, Carlton Mitchell later in the draft is an interesting pick too.
A couple of interesting RBs to go with those are Ben Tate 4.43 at 220 and Montario Hardesty 4.49 at 225 in the 3rd or 4th, although their stock may be rising as well.
McCluster definitely hurt his stock with that 40 time, I wonder where he gets drafted, he’s like a small Cobbs, maybe too small though.
I would love to get Morgan at 12, I’ve been saying that, lol, just not sure he will get there.
Just watching nfl network, Weatherspoon was on with Billick and Mooch and he looks SMALL, same height as Mooch with less bulk and Billick TOWERED over him, lol, for what its worth.

Getting back to football...
I have to admit that for the first time in many years, I haven’t really paid much attention to the combine. But now that the Olympics are over (but not my hangover) it’s time to get back into a very interesting off-season in the NFL.
In spite of all the “character issues” surrounding Dez Bryant, I would lose a lot of faith in the Trifecta if he was sitting there at #12 and we didn’t take him. He’s the best player available at the postion of our biggest need. Me thinks he’s long gone by #12.
If we go defense first, I’m now back on the McClain bandwagon. I’ve been pushing for Sergio Kindle to be the pick all along but now I’m weary of spending such a high pick on someone who would have to learn a new position. We already have one of those guys in Cam Wake.

Jeff Ireland
Sure made it sound like they are TRYING to convince Chad to come back as a Coach, the question that remains to be seen is if Chad is willing to accept that he is done. IMO why should he go play veteran bench warmer/teacher at another team, or start as a stop gap at a rebuilding team only to get beat up by terrible O-Lines?
It’s a pay cut, sure, but it’s an expedition into his future and it’s probably what he’s best at: Bring him in as David Lee’s assistant QB coach – CP already loves our FO and coaching staff, why can’t these guys make it happen!!?
Dan Williams 12th Overall Bandwagon: With the league slowly converting, we need to start considering the true value of the 3-4 NT position, it's about as hard to get a stud here as it is a Quarterback...3-4 NT Where a Quality Player is Both Rare and a Necessity.
True Dat
But getting a QB to retire isn’t always the easy thing to do……
As much as I’d love to add him to our coaching staff, I could seee him going to a team like the Rams (assumimg they don’t get Michael Vick). Say the Rams draft Suh or McCoy at #1 and then Tebow at #33. A guy like CP10 could be the ultimate stop gap starting QB and mentor.

We owe to Matty and the rest of the bloggers that visit this site on a daily basis. This is the recognition and bragging rights he does for putting in so much time and effort so we have good reading.

I like Gerhart
But he has a lot of ware on his body and multiple injuries I believe. This could mean nothing, but could be a cause of concern

The Patriots Suck
On James Starks
Matty, I was a student trainer with Buffalo in Starks’ Sophmore year and saying this first hand, the kids got it. Not to mention they also started him off as a triple threat QB/KR (who by the way can toss the ball well… wildcat anyone?). Great speed and plenty of strength, I would not be disappointed if we landed him as a late round sleeper pick…
Thank You!
I called him out for a pick in my mock draft almost a month ago as a sixth round pick if we didn’t take a RB earlier or Brandon Carter wasn’t around. Starks is clearly the biggest value pick at running back in that he has the size, speed, and skills needed to be an total package weapon for us. Put him as a punt returner/special teams specialist this year and groom him to take over for Ronnie when Brown leaves for free agency (which will be the first chance he gets). The biggest question mark on Starks (coming into the combine) was how well did he recover from his injury. The questions will remain until he suits up (regardless of combine performance) but unless someone takes a chance on him he should be around for our compensatory pick (probly in Round 5) or our first selection in round 6.
NY Jets = NFL's Chicago Cubs
There's a fine line between hopeful and desperate. Just look @ Jets fans.
I cannot find a single negative thing said about him.
Seems like the exact opposite of a certain former OSU WR. Even before the injury he didn’t appear to be the prima donna type.

alot of people are assuming the broncos are moving Marshall but i dont see it, he’s restricted too so the team would have to give up valuable picks and mcdaniels comes from new england so he might be looking at what ayers and mayo did last yr and go defense. the browns to me are the enigma, they have holes everywhere and could take anybody.
golden tate huge huge huge risk
highest potential- desean jackson, steve smtih (car)
ya those are stud players but most likely hes under 6 foot
hmm, who do we know who has speed but is under 6 feet. i think he played at ohio state. lets stay away from these guys who are not true #1 receivers.

We already have a guy on this roster
that was likened to being a potential steve smith by his apologists…….too bad Ted Ginn has never played remotely like Steve Smith.
As for Tate’s surprising speed, he could be one of those guys whose speed in pads and on the field is much slower than that in shorts. I’d rather have someone who plays faster in pads and doesn’t get caught from behind. Boldin in his career has been like that, a player with slow timed speed but who looks fast and strong on the field.
tate's speed has nothing to do with why i like him
he just looks really good attacking and catching the football and had alot of “chuck yd plays” thats prob. why the dolphins are interested, i doubt he’s just another ginn or the trifecta would not be interested
by sonnycrockett on Mar 1, 2010 2:13 PM EST up reply actions
u see ted ginn when u watch golden tate play?
he seemed 100 times more physical and agressive catching the football in traffic and over the middle, and didn’t run for the sidelines. Boldin is a huge risk too, max money for about 3-4 more yrs and he hasn’t played an injury free yr in a while. there must besomething to the dolphins interviewing him if he’s just another ginn.

The Trifecta also thought Pat White would end up being like...
someone other than………Pat White. They aren’t perfect ;-)
Anyway, Steve Smith is a pretty unique player and had a lot of success. There aren’t many guys in the league like him so when I hear a college prospect compared to him, I tend to be skeptical.
I agree
however he doesn’t resemble Ginn in the slightest, he did 17 reps at 225, I doubt Ginn could do 1, lol, but on film he does fight for the ball and comes down with it, but he will be gone by the time we pick in the 2nd round.

i just don't see Boldin as a "huge risk"
or seeing him getting “max money”. i think these are both somewhat exaggerated statements. Boldin will get a raise, but it will be a renegotiation of an existing contract, and it will be a trade so he can only choose where he does not want to go (by refusing to renegotiate)… not where he would like to go.
As for the risk? At least you don’t have the risk of a WR bust out of the draft. I think that is a bigger risk than an injury concern.

With Boldin you know what you are getting. 1st or 2nd round receiver? The infamous crapshoot and this year’s entries don’t look all that impressive either.
new overtime changes should not be implemented into regular season
sorry matty, but i very much agree with the rule change only for the playoffs simply because of the record books. Its not fair to start changing these rules would which add extra time to these over time games. aside from that it would be fine, but not really necessary.

If they add them to the playoffs, then they likely will get moved into the regular season down the road.

What is wrong with these young players?
nobody wants to run the 40!!!
McClain and Spikes….who else am I missing? did they get “hurt”?
What's with all the Tate Ginn comparisons?
It is really idiotic (sorry if I offended anyone) to think that because two players have two similar qualities that they are now in fact clones of each other. This is ridiculous!! They are two completely different players….the only things they have in common is that they played college football are both fast and are under 6 foot. Besides those things Tate is physical, tough, can block, is an accomplished WR, can break tackles, and is consistent in catching the football.
Everyone has his day and some days last longer than others.

I also think it is a "missed" comparison.

Hey Everybody....
NY Giants fan over here…i’m sure a few of my cohorts have stopped by recently….the million dollar question is this….
You guys drafting McClain or what?
Thanks in advance….

I personally hope....
the Dolphins beat you guys out in the free agency acquisition of Karlos Dansby. From what I have been hearing these are the two teams in the lead for his services. If the Dolphins get Dansby no McClain. I really am not a big McClain fan. I think there is a reason (other than a tender hamstring) that he didn’t work out today at the combine, with the exception of his 24 reps on the bench (not that impressive). I really don’t see him as a big playmaker more of just a run stuffer which the dolphins already have. Then again who am I to say. I’m pretty sure I’m in the minority on this.
I'm with you
don’t see impact playmaker in McClain, and I’m really hoping for Dansby in FA to open up a lot of options in the draft for us.

honestly, i'm not crazy about mcclain...
but my fellow giant fans think this guy walks on water. I think his natural abilty is lacking but he’s very smart and knows where the ball is going. So i think he’ll be sucessful but like McClain said him self “he’ll be more successful in a 3-4”…which is not what we’re running up here.

well i appreciate the feedback...
I’ll say this much; Giant fans are pretty high on McClain….but some think he won’t get past you guys.
granted we’re both in the hunt for Dansby but i gotta be honest with you….I’m not hign on Dansby comign from a 3-4 scheme….of course you get the same w/ McClain.
IDK, i’m just hopeing Earl Thomas is still available when we pick.

So glad to see that McClain
pushed 225 a whopping 24 times when Spiller did 23..either CJ is stout as a bull,McClain is weaker than well water or both are true.
