Former Bucs GM: We Spied On Justin Blackmon's Favorite Bar For A Week

“We found out there was a bar called the Cricket Inn or the Cricket, which was a popular bar there in Oklahoma State,” said Dominik. “He [the scout] sat there for one week, went in at 3 o’clock every day and stayed until 11 o’clock at night. That was his job, and we checked how many times did Justin Blackmon come in? And he came in too many times and we took him off our board.”

When another team drafts him, this will be my reaction:

Only if it's the Sehawks in the 2nd round. That would floor me. I have a feeling he'll go top 20 though, which I'd be fine with seeing.

As long as he doesn't go to any divisional team or the Hawks, I'll be fine at that point.  Mark my words, if he can stay on the field, hes going to be a beast.

where can i sign up for a job where i sit at a bar all day

 

Send a PM to PhillyB.

 

Seriously though, teams will go to outrageous lengths to check on potential high draft picks.

 

At least they didn't ask him if his mama was a wh-re.

I don't see any of the Bucs, Falcons or Aints spending a pick on him where they could get him. Maybe the Bucs in the 2nd if he falls, but I still doubt it. Falcons can't afford to be drafting a wideout at all, let alone a huge risk, and the Aints just drafted Cooks in the 1st and have so many holes still. He definitely could be a complete monster on the field, but it's still a big risk. Look at Blackmon and Gordon. Superb on the field talents who will have both missed over a year of games, probably close to 2 for both, if they even get back on it at all. I wouldn't want us to use a 1st on him unless we had the utmost confidence in him being able to stay out of trouble.

I get it, but I don't think that's the same concept as DGB.  He never got convicted of the crime against the female, and with the right people and organization surrounding him I think it will be a different story.  We got a family atmosphere in our locker room, while the Jags have...................and the Browns have arguably the worst locker room in the NFL.

    • He makes a good point about Wallace.  In fairness to Wallace it is hard to play your position as freely as you need to when your defensive line is getting pushed around like ragdolls.  One of the greatest attributes a defensive line has is sucking up blocks, freeing up your linebackers.  Our defensive line couldn't suck up a lollipop more or less blocks.  I think Evans, Sanders and Tremble are going to be a really nice TE group.  I can see all three getting time on the field.  If Sanders can improve as a blocker teams won't be so inclined to believe it is a pass play whenever Sanders is on the field.  Ryan Fitzgerald, I think was an awesome pick-up. Hopefully he can fill our kicker void. Luke Kandra many turn out to be our next Norwell.  Everything I have heard about him says he's a beast.  He needs some refinement, but the good news is he's got Hunt and Lewis (arguably the best guard tandem in the league) to learn from. 
    • Great teams build through the draft and have several young players that start that are on rookie contracts. It's important to hit on players in rounds 4 thru 7.  These should be future starters and solid depth.  When you hit on most of your picks you free up a lot of cap space for those one- or two-year players to fill spots you are thin at. No GM is going to perfect on all their picks.  You're going to whiff every once in a while.  That was Hurney problem.  He'd nail the first pick but after that it was reach after reach and we couldn't get any depth on this team. I'm excited about Morgan as our GM and hopefully he'll be around a long time.  It will be even better if Canales can continue to grow as a head coach, both in the development of young players and play calling. I remember last season after Young came back in the lineup and started to perform well.  We saw different plays I had only seen other teams use.   If Canales's play design and play calling continue to grow. Morgan and Canales will be linked together for a long time.  It would be nice to see a Coach and GM together for a decade or two. Go Panthers
