Underwhelming Combine


TylerDurden

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.

    • I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner. 
    • How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.
    • I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
