all numbers hold value, 40 for a player that mainly moves backwards is ugh. 10 yard split has more value, i believe for all players. running 40 on a track surface without pads and after months of practice is well nearly a fake time.

 

unless a team runs a pulling guard system, 40 is near pointless. it does help to see the ability and if hes in-shape.

 

 

getting a guy running his top speed at 10 yards > getting a fast 40. 

Fast means better feet and agility. It's no surprise all the top 5 rated OT run sub 5.0. Athletic ability is important.

"Heavy legged", "grabber", "every pass protection play could've been called a hold", "some guys like him in the 2nd - 3rd round range others don't like him at all"

Mayock on Tiny Richardson.

 

Davis said something about a medical flag popping up as well.i wonder what that may have been.

I must admit that I'd rather be looking at the receivers. Of course I'm guessing that the receivers will come Monday or something when I'm at work. The Combine is just background noise for me today.  That one dude that benched 42 reps is one strong mutherfuger though.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
