    2020 NFL Draft

    Moritz Böhringer was a 6'4 227 pound wideout who ran a 4.4. Also excelled at kick returns. The Bengals had him bulk up to 250 and tried to make him a tight end. The Vikings got a bunch of flack for trying to develop him at WR but I'd imagine he'd be a little raw coming from the GFL.

    NFL News, Rumors and Musings

    It doesn't hurt to point out the double standard. Whites often time around the same if not better in many drills as their black counterparts. Their production is often discredited for one reason or another and people point to to the times of a few black outliers when comparing White prospects to...

    NFL News, Rumors and Musings

    Yea the "too slow" thing kills me. In the last 20 years there have been 245 wide receivers, running backs, safeties and corners that ran 4.65 or slower and not only got D1 scholarships but were considered good enough to get an NFL combine invite. Most of these guys were black. There's roughly...

    Yep, Asiata was pretty much the same size and measurables coming out of Utah, which was in the MWC at the time, and he had a fraction of Zach's production. Even though they tested the same I would say Zach looked quicker running the ball

    NFL News, Rumors and Musings

    I think he could have been a consistent 1000 yard rusher. Not as powerful as Alstott but was definitely quick and elusive in college. I don't think anybody has topped his numbers so far in the same system at SMU. Xavier Jones put up 1000 rushing yards but was shut down against better defenses...

    NFL News, Rumors and Musings

    yea I was just generalising about our guys but as far as Line he was making 850k which is slightly above league minimum for a 6th and 7th year player, with his roster and signing bonus it was 1.1 million a year. Then they pay almost 40 percent to taxes. Nothing to scoff at still but probably had...

    NFL News, Rumors and Musings

    Yea that's the problem with a lot of our guys, they just quietly do what teams ask, smartly saving and investing their league minimum salary until they have enough to retire very comfortably. Can't say I blame them, I'd probably do the same but battering into linebackers that are 20 pounds...

    2019 NFL Divisional Playoffs

    I'm not sure it's the type of offense. It's the qb leading the offense. If teams were to shut Henry down by loading the box you would have to be able to hit outside receivers to make the defense pay. If they're blitzing you have to get the ball out quick, and know when to run and know when and...

    NFL 100 ALL-Time Team

    I definitely think so. In Lombardi's 60s playbooks it states the minimum speed required for a halfback is 4.7. Nowadays they have training for the 40 down to a science where pretty much every player at the combine sees a speed coach. With proper training and technique you can easily shave off...

    NFL 100 ALL-Time Team

    Yet every time Fred Biletnikoff is mentioned they bring up him using stickum to help catch. From everything I hear, the gloves nowadays are much better than wearing stickum. A recent MIT study says it's about 20 percent stickier than a hand. “It is macroscopically a solid,” Kumar explained of...

    There's still plenty of great White athletes in the South, they're just lucky to get a backup role at an FCS college. I looked up some of the guys I followed when I lived in Louisiana. David Seeman who was on the same team as Joe McKnight, and a better runner, 5'10 almost 200 pounds, running a...

    2019 NFL Divisional Playoffs

    yeah I'm having a hard time deciding who to root for next week, the Chiefs or the Titans? On the one hand you have a White quarterback that was discarded and written off by everybody but on the other hand I was barely watching this game and every time I looked up a White guy was making plays

    2020 NFL Draft

    Hopefully he gets some recognition. With scouts checking out Adam Trautman he might have a chance to get picked up as an UDFA. I saw the interview and since Edelman is well known I put him in the title. He reminds kind of Eric Peterman though but with better hands. Nobody would know who that is...

    2019 NFL Divisional Playoffs

    I don't blame the loss soley on Cousins. He was under consistent pressure with less than 3 seconds to throw the entire game. After the DB mistake covering Diggs his receivers weren't getting good separation . I think Adam's injury was bothering him. The backs kept getting swallowed up on...

    I think they go around .500 next year. There's still plenty of bad defenses out there

    2019 NFL Divisional Playoffs

    They'd have to score a TD, 2 point, recover an onside kick and repeat in 2 minutes. I don't agree with many prevent defense situations but I think it's the right call. Unless it was against Tom Brady. Jackson is just padding stats at this point. Speaking of Brady I watched this video showing...

    2019 NFL Divisional Playoffs

    I'm glad they were able to go up 14 early on I think that was the key into stopping this offense, make them one dimensional and force Jackson to beat you with his arm. Play action doesn't work as well

    I like his running style but probably because it reminds me of some of the bigger White backs over the the years that have gotten screwed over or asked to block

    They keep saying that high pass wasn't Jackson's fault. The guy just "failed to elevate".

    2020 NFL Draft

    Ryan Skibinski of Dayton. I wonder if he'll be on any teams radar. 5'11 180 runs a 4.4. very quick as well. Averaged 17.1 ypc. 900 yards from scrimmage in 11 games. I think his yards would be higher but Dayton is loaded with good players. They had the number 1 scoring offense in the FCS. Top 10...

    2020 NFL Draft

    Here is Chris Finke of Notre Dame highlights. For some reason I wasn't expecting to be impressed but I think he should be rated higher. When I was looking at draft projections for wideouts there's a lot of guys going high that don't have big time production. From watching footage there was some...
