Scouting Combine might not happen

I think the risks of the combine in a covid environment outweigh the benefits of what is basically just a giant workout and interview session. It's conveniant to have everyone in one place, but not absolutely necessary. If they don't have it, it will probably hurt smaller school prospects who are less visible though.

Yikes, that's a new conplication. If they were to have to cancle the combine, I wonder what the adjustments would be to compensate. Meetings via video is an easy fix. Are pro days and private workouts on the table also be canceled?

I hope they increase the number of in person workouts each team can have.

And interviews.

If they are doing regional combines, I guess teams are going to have to go visit prospects and not have the prospects traveling far for personal visits.

I don’t see why any kid who wants to go to the combine can’t go and have it be treated like the bubbles for different sports. Have the kids go there for three weeks. Team representatives go for three weeks as well. Quarantine for two when you get there and one week of drills and interviews.

This will hurt the guys from small schools that haven't really been scouted, but won't hurt the guys that people already know about.

Fans put way more importance on the Combine than NFL people do, analytics or not! I'm fairly certain that individual interviews and private workouts are more coveted by scouts and coaches.

    • We will make it interesting. I think we'll be on a roll by then.
    • Especially glad there's no Thursday games. I hate them. They're dangerous. They really fug up a routine and unless you're team is coming off a bye, they play the game with little rest or prep.
    • Sober. Still feeling it. I really like how the schedule is laid out for us. Perfect for a new HC and rebuilding team. Aside from the Bengals, there aren't  any good teams before the bye. Chargers will be, but they're having to figure poo out just like we are and they'll be coming here for an early game. That one is a toss up. I like our defense against them. I think we'll give the Bengals a fight, but I wouldn't put money on us winning that one. But the saints can be swept. They're beat up and just don't have much going on. They'll be at the bottom of the division. I feel like we will split with the falcons and the bucs. There's nothing scary about the raiders or that washington team. Chicago is another toss up, but they aren't scary either....not yet anyways. We're getting them early in the season so I like our chances. I especially like our defense against a rookie QB. And the broncos....boring. Giants....again, boring. Looking at this, we've got a good defensive thing going on. I think the unit will be better this year a d we're in season 2 of Evero. I like us especially against rookie QBs, and we'll have at least 3 we're facing before the bye. We come in and play smash mouth football and just keep hitting (pounding) away and I think we're competitive. It's that schedule after the bye that scares me. Hopefully by that point they've built up a lot of confidence. You get a scrappy dawg that's got some confidence and a lot of fight in him and you've always got a shot. I think that's what we'll be this year. This year isn't about winning all the games. It's about building confidence and learning what we've got to do. But looking at that later schedule and it's not horrible. We've got the eagles and chiefs....that's scary, but then we've got the cardinals and cowboys at home...and it's the cowboys in December. When have they been scary in December? And we've got division games in there as well. I think we'll do ok. The more I look at it, the better I feel about it.
