Digging for Gold

Today is the East/West Shrine game. 3pm on ESPN2. This is where our scouting team makes their money. 1st and 2nd round (though we haven't done so well in the 2nd round) players are usually no brainers but 3rd round and beyond is were championships are won. I think we have done well over the years with these picks.

Here are a few links to the game. This one has the rosters.

The second one has an article about prospects that are doing well in practice. Freddie Barnes WR Bowling Green I like the part about being able to seperate.

I will be up at 11pm to watch this. I will be watching QB's and WR's.

I am also going to watch John Skelton QB Fordham.

Interesting player 6'5" kinda like Joe Flacco.

Interesting comments from the week.

"Fordham's John Skelton, though struggling with accuracy, was the most physically impressive and threw with velocity the others couldn't."

"The more I watch Fordham quarterback John Skelton, the more I become a fan of his game. There’s no denying his physical skill -- he has the strongest arm down here by far, effortlessly spinning throws outside the numbers with impressive overall zip. However, the game finally looks to be slowing down a bit for him, as he seemed more comfortable during 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills Wednesday and even led an impressive two-minute drill at the end of practice. He’s still a long way away and, like any strong-armed passer, he gets sloppy with his footwork and trusts his arm too much at times. But the fact that he’s made some strides this week makes me think there’s some significant long-term upside to his game."

These are the players we hope to find.

Go Panthers

ill be watching 2 WR's in this game and a few other players. Verran Tucker and Freddie Barnes. also, I couldnt help but notice, Sam Mills JR is coaching the ST for the east. couldnt he be the quality control-defense and coach special teams?
i was wondering the same thing. only sam mills was sam mills, jr. our sam mills coach is sam mills III.

    • Evero has his faults, but even in that loss, the team only gave up 20 points. Your post gets to the heart of the matter. We are not a talented team on defense at this time. Some of our younger guys may develop w/more playing time, but for now we have no impact players at LB or EDGE. We could really use a ball-hawking S on the back end as well. We have exactly two players that have to be accounted for on every play, D. Brown, and J.Horn. Mike Jackson has been solid. The other starters would probably be backups on most the upper echelon NFL teams. We really can't expect this team to a Top 10 defense with such a lack of talent. All things considered I've been somewhat impressed with how much better they have played this year.   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-points-per-game   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-average-team-passer-rating We are in the top 15 in terms of points allowed per game (22.6) and top 12 in defensive passer rating (88.9). And, we are doing this without a formidable PASS RUSH. Even our rushing defense has improved. We are #16 in rushing yards allowed per game (116) compared to 179 per game last season. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-rushing-yards-per-game I wouldn't cry if Evero moved on after the season, but his defense isn't the biggest worry for our team.
    • The funny part is she looks older and not in a good way...
    • How about some line help, both sides, first. Trade XL before talking about a 1st round WR 3 years in a row. Or a TE or...drum roll...a QB to pair with a vet.  And if it's not a speedy route guy with hands then just hard pass.
