  1. well, I wouldnt wanna play for the cards. I feel like that org is a train wreck. so I could see that being the case. Though the cat may already be out of the bag (so to speak) I doubt hes going outside of the top 8 or 10 picks and he could very well be top 5. If the Cards have decided on him already I dont see them changing their mind.
  2. no. both starting WR and the starting, pass catching bell cow all gone, it doesnt look great. I would have at least kept Allen to mentor whoever they decide to draft. you'd like to hope the team knows what they are doing but I am skeptical
  3. yep. you nailed it. in short yardage, if the line gives a good push, he will get you 2-3 yards every time. if you need 4 or 5 yards he likely still gets you 3 yards every time.(maybe 4) Thats the problem with him. of course with Herbert at QB if you are consistently getting 2nd and 7 it opens up more options in the playbook. maybe thats good enough. that is.... assuming Herbert has someone to throw the ball to.

    2024 NFL Draft Profile - QB Caleb Williams

    well, I'm going to be looking at tape. but I've read scouting reports from 2 sources and I think what has people intrigued is the skillset. the scouting reports dont actually say it but reading between the lines, he is far from being a finished product in terms of his ability to read, make good, quick decisions etc. normally when I see this on a scouting report I think late first, early 2nd round but people seem to be so sure hes the next Mahomes. flaws in decision making can be fixed with coaching to an extent. but the long time holding the ball is also concerning for me. Granted I dont know if he holds the ball a long time because he can (good protection) or because hes running with the ball. and the scouting report from the cheezy magazine I bought doesnt say. though I'm gonna look at the tape Doug provides of examples of what he speaks of and then I'll look at some independent tape. at that point I'll have a better feel for what this kid is about.

    RB,WR,TE with QB Cousins

    not much to argue with here. I 100% agree on London. hes due for a very good year. Robinson will be better too. anytime the offense as a whole is better, the numbers for the RB will also be better. Especially in terms of TD Pitts also better. but Cousins isnt a QB known for utilizing his TE in a way to get top numbers but I do think he will recognize the talent and he will put up draftable numbers for sure.

    2024 NFL Draft Profile - QB Caleb Williams

    ok looking at the scout report as noted I dont like that his decision making rating is as low as it is. I also dont like how long he hangs onto the ball. at the NFL level thats trouble. feels like he may be no better than the QB hes replacing in Chicago. granted, reading a scouting report is different than watching him play so I'll try to watch some tape but looking at Doug's analysis of him I'd say hes not as good as I'd like him to be for a #1 overall pick.
  7. I think that was more a stylistic comparable moreso than an actual comparable. he does run sweeps and reverses like Deebo would but he doesnt lineup as a RB like Deebo would (though he may be capable of this) based on the scouting report his pass catching ability looks like it may be better than what deebos is. Hes a lot faster than Deebo ever was.
  8. bottom line, Nabers is more like Deebo. Harrison is more like AJ green (scouting comparable not mine)
  9. Nabers is electric. burst off the ball and out of breaks could leave smoke rings and leaves defenders gasping for oxygen. also smart. sets up opponents with varied releases and altered gaits to leave them vulnerable on critical downs to move the sticks or in the red zone. accelerates in a blink and can beat corners over top simply with his straight line speed. shows great quickness and balance with swift, sure cuts to create space on short and intermediate routes and vs zone coverage just as effective on sweeps and reverses (can run the ball) can move around the formation Weaknesses: there were a couple of key drops on his tape vs alabama and Texas A&M but those looked like he was planning his next move before the ball arrived rather than securing the catch. can be a bit of a freelancer as a route runner. which may take time for his QB to become comfortable with.
  10. scouting report I'm looking at: Harrison: strengths explosion off the line is incredible. immediately handfights at the point of release and cleanly pushes around to get immediate separation. (translation, you wont be able to jam him at the line) Never plays a bad portion of the route staying constantly focused on taking good angles and getting to soft spots in coverage where he can easily have open space to make receptions and work his way downfield. gets to top speed quickly plays and tracks the ball well Weaknesses: frame not particularly rocked up or noteworthy. Not overly muscular and still occasionally gets corralled by weak tackle attempts. does not operate well as a blocker body catches too often and it can prevent him from translating to his after catch ability quickly.
  11. well, its funny. the scouting reports say Harrison, but when I actually read the scouting report the one on Nabers actually looks more desireable in almost all aspects. major difference is nabers will freelance sometimes and go off his route. Harrison is more of a route runner. but will also sometimes make body catches.(negative)

    NFL bans hip drop tackle

    hip drop tackle. when someone grabs the runner with both hands or wraps with both arms and then unweights himself by swiveling or dropping his hips and or lower body and landing on and trapping the runners legs at or below the knee. given the nature, I'd say a very low percentage of your tackles would qualify so I dont anticipate this changes the game much (if at all) but I would imagine that this would have a decent chance of causing an achilles injury if you are landing on the back of the runners legs

    RB,WR,TE with QB Cousins

    hes availabe there most years anyhow. the injury likely guarantees he is available

    Anthony Richardson

    the players with class know how to act. you dont shut down a young fan and tell them you need money for an autograph. you encourage that young man to be a fan. you happily sign the autograph. maybe even ask the fans name personalize it and address it specifically to him. those guys will have the staying power in terms of endorsements too as everyone wants to get behind a player who is a nice guy and hasnt forgot where he came from.
  15. well, this years draft have a number of young RB's who are available in round 2-3 that are potential starters. just not necessarily right away. so maybe that is the plan.
