Underwhelming Combine


Proudiddy

Recommended Posts

I can't recall a combine that I was nore unimpressed with in regards to size/athleticism.

Just for exanple, Bosa is the concensus #1...  he's got ideal size for a DE/outside rusher, but he ran a 4.9.  Compare that to guys like Peppers, Watt, and Clowney, and it's a joke.

Obviously, all that matters is if a guy can play the game, but the numbers do give some insight and this entire rookie class is by far one of, if not THE least impressive group of athletes I can recall in my years of keeping up with the combine.

The impressive athletes are the guys over 300 running 5 flat with 1.70 10 yd splits.

But that's my point...  compared to years past, that isn't super impressive.  And relative to their peers, there are a lot of guys at that size running the same numbers, yet smaller DEs are running slower splits and 40s.  Just very underwhelming.

I mean, Getts was right, the interior DL is probably the strongest group, but to me, that's a luxury for us, especially if we hold onto both Star and KK.

We almost certainly will need another rotational guy to replace Dwan Edwards, and it never hurts to have depth.  Remember how worried we all were about Star's foot injury at the start of the season...

Yeah, at this point, i will trust that Gettleman is making the right decision, whatever it wnds up being...  but, i think DE is a much greater need going into the draft.  Maybe that changes after FA, but hard to imagine because edge rushers are always at a premium.

Oh I DEFINITELY agree that DE is our biggest need. I see us signing 1 and drafting 1.

    • This thread is turning into bizarro world. Most of the anti-Bryce crowd was heavily pro CJ Stroud so I am confused how that ties into any racial element.  Not saying we still don't have some of that crowd in here but it's not like the Prime Cam years where this place was rife with those types.  The anti-Bryce sentiment SEEMS to MOSTLY be rooted in his underwhelming physical stature/abilities and/or his underwhelming overall career to date. All this being amplified by the massive trade haul we gave away for him. So, technically we have missed the opportunity to draft Jaden Daniels AND passed on CJ Stroud. Fairly or not, Bryce hasn't measured up to those type of players at all. 
    • Because 2 coaches have not allowed him to do it.  And in a real Hail Mary scenario the throw is  further than the clip shown and likey doesn’t allow a clean setup. You can’t go over the top.  So you have to let WRs get downfield and the technical throw is going to be further and as you have to drop back to by time and likely won’t have an ideal setup.     
    • I can’t stand silent any longer.. He has s sickness.  It will defy any logic people try to bring.  He tried to deny us the freedom of having a negative opinion of a player simply by the color of our skin. Yet we have positive opinions of many black players  Love some of them   I guess they must be house *you know the word* if we like them   I bring it to this: let’s say you are black. are there black people that you don’t like? I brt there are.  But no white people are allowed to dislike them? Because they are maybe shitty people of shitty players or there is just something about them you don’t line. We have to drop this way of thinking.
