  1. They work together, if you dont have good players at both Corner and OLB/DE then the team will eventually suffer, the DE's and OLB's cant always get to the QB or get pressure so you need Corners that actually belong out on the football field, thats why our defense struggled alot during the Manning era(we allowed completion percentages constantly in low to mid 60's), sure we had Freeney and Mathis wreaking havoc, but what if they did not get there to the QB? Also what if they did get to QB's lets say a combined 22 timesfor example in 2005, what are you going to do with those 400 or more other pass plays they did not get to the QB or get pressure?  Our Corners were picked on if they did not get there, some of that was scheme but much of it was talent, Its really simple, Pass Rushers have an affect but not nearly as much as a great Corner does, I'll give you an example, if I had to choose between a young Dwight Freeney or a Darrelle Revis then I'd take the shutdown Corner every single time and load the team with pass rushing linebackers that can get you 6-7 average a piece and confuse the offense on who I may be blitzing

     

    A whole lotta jibberjabber. The LBs are OVERWHELMINGLY more important in the 3/4 than the CBs. And the DEs are OVERWHELMINGLY more important in the 4/3 than the CBs.

     

    That's okay. I understand...it is hard for you to show humility.

  2. I think the whole idea of noy giving Jerry a chance really really stupid

     

    We didn't draft him? We didn't carry him over from the 4/3 to the 3/4?

     

    This isn't day-care. He's had MANY chances. And if we keep him through training camp, he'll get more.

  3. It bamboozled me too. Peyton will make any WR's good. He turned Thomas into a monster this year. Thomas was good when Tebow was there, but nothing like he is now

     

    And THAT is precisely why I drafted him in Fantasy. I knew Manning would turn him into a Monster. ;)

  4. Welker & Vasquez aren't "splashes". Yes it helps them (to an extent). Actually..... it really doesn't. Defense is what cost them the Playoffs, not offense. All they're doing is turning into the Packers if they keep this up

     

    Spot on! Why spend money on offensive weapons when your QB can make chicken salad out of undrafted rookie chicken sh**?

     

    I didn't mind the Vasquez signing though. I'm sure they want to make sure they keep the elder statesman upright. ;)

  5. Dude I'm done discussing this

     

    Goodbye. Next time humble up and you might be able to learn something.

     

    Sure you win bro...

     

    ??? This wasn't checkers. It was a discussion. One way I might add because you were rambling all over the map and not really focused AT ALL.

     

    I'm completely stupid in all this...

     

    Not if you'd set your neurosis aside and think without emotion.

     

    ...an informed opinion. Which is an oxymoron...

     

    No. It isn't. :facepalm:

     

    now...express your "informed" opinions to someone else.

     

    Ok. Your loss.

  6. Seattle has to be killing themselves. They gave up picks and lots of dough for a malcontent and could have had WW for 2/12!

     

    :facepalm:

     

    Welker isn't half the talent that Percy Harvin is. Apples & Oranges. Or Apples & 2 week old Oranges.

  7. Brad Wells (BBS) @StampedeBlue

    Colts defensive coordinator Greg Manusky attended the Florida Pro Day and spent a lot of time watching the safeties.

     

    Evan Sidery @ESidery@StampedeBlue: Colts DC Greg Manusky attended the Florida Pro Day and spent a lot of time watching the safeties.” Matt Elam folks.

     

    Defense

    Jon Bostic (ILB, 6'1", 245 pounds)

    Bostic didn't have much left to prove at Florida's Pro Day after a very good combine a month ago. He was timed at 4.50 in the 40-yard dash in Indianapolis, but only participated in on-the-field drills after that. Bostic did a nice job of demonstrating the control of power he has in his lower body. Most scouts expected him to run a 4.8, which is something he chuckled at in post-workout interviews. He was also able to show lateral quickness as well as good hands during position drills. Though Jenkins showed he is the more physically gifted linebacker of the two, Bostic has the skills and football intelligence to play inside or outside. He's a projected second- or third-round pick, but some NFL folks are thinking he'll go before one of the biggest names in the draft pool.

    Jelani Jenkins (OLB, 6'0", 245 pounds)

    Jenkins had the most to prove going into Florida's Pro Day, and prove is exactly what he did. His talent to date was unclear due to an injury-plagued season. In 2012, he missed games due to a broken thumb, a hamstring injury, and, finally, a broken foot in the last regular season game that kept him out of the Sugar Bowl. With all of that said, I think Jenkins was the most impressive participant. He ran a disappointing 4.78 in the 40-yard dash, but quickly showed his talents don't rely on straightaway speed in the position drills that followed. Jenkins looked physically impressive and demonstrated it with quick change-of-direction speed. He received a lot of extra attention after his workout and has private workouts set up with Kansas City, Miami and Carolina. Right now he's projected as a fourth or fifth round pick, but I expect his stock to rise.

    Omar Hunter (DT, 6'0", 313 pounds)

    Hunter was not invited to the Scouting Combine last month, so this was his first chance to stand out. He was clocked in the low 5.0 range in the 40-yard dash, but put up good numbers in the cone drills. He displayed very quick feet and hands during the lineman exercises, and matched that quickness with strength by benching 28 reps. He's faster than his body looks, and I think that got a lot of attention from some scouts who weren't planning on looking at him. He's set up interviews with Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Washington, Houston, and New Orleans. At the moment, he's projected to go in the sixth round or to go undrafted, but I think he gets some late round attention after a decent Pro Day.

    Earl Okine (DE, 6'6", 287 pounds)

    Okine is definitely an under-the-radar guy from the current Florida draft class. He was able to run a sub-5.0 40-time and stayed step-for-step in quickness with Hunter. He is very unknown by most scouts, but I think he had an encouraging workout. His frame is what will lure NFL teams to take a chance on him, but for now I don't see him getting drafted.

    Matt Elam (SS, 5'9", 189 pounds)

    Elam stood on his combine 40 time of 4.54, but fully participated in on-the-field drills. A lot of scouts like to punish Elam for his lack of size, but I really think he uses it to his advantage. He displayed a quick back pedal, incredible change-of-direction acceleration, and didn't drop a single pass throughout the drills. I thought he was a late first round choice going into today, but he might be the best safety in the draft.

    Josh Evans (FS, 6'1", 207 pounds)

    Evans is a sleeper pick around the league. Not a lot of people talk about him, but I think that's because no one wants to hype him up so they can get him at a great price. He improved his 40-time from a 4.58 at the combine to a 4.48 today. Unfortunately for Evans, there are no tackling drills during the Combine or Pro Day, and that's where he thrives, having led the Gators in tackles in 2012. Safety comes very naturally to him, and he displayed that with his pursuit angles during drills; I just wish he were faster. I'm higher on Evans than most, but I think scouts will come around to agree with me by draft time. He's worth a late third or fourth round pick, but fourth or fifth is more realistic.

    Offense

    Mike Gillislee (RB, 5'11", 208 pounds)

    Gillislee didn't stand out as much as scouts would have hoped, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Those who watched him thrive this year know that his game isn't about straight-line speed. He was able to show scouts his pass-catching ability in the backfield and that's something that will separate him from the rest of the RB class. He's not an every-down back, but he'll be a great second running back in the NFL if a team can utilize his skills. So far, Gilly has private workouts set up with Atlanta and St. Louis. At this point, his ceiling is the third round, but I see him getting picked in the early-to-mid fourth round.

    Xavier Nixon (OT, 6'6", 320 pounds)

    Nixon's shoulder injury didn't allow him to fully participate. He was able to perform in some agility drills but didn't really do anything to raise his stock. He's an athletic tackle, but he didn't show a lot of consistency in-season in 2012. He'll finish out the group to workout March 22, where he needs to try and show he can block upright on a consistent basis. I've got him listed as a fourth or fifth round player.

    Frankie Hammond (WR, 6'0", 185 pounds)

    Hammond has to overcome his smaller frame by improving his acceleration and becoming a more reliable receiver. He was able to run a 4.45 40-yard dash on his second attempt, which was key for him. He dropped a few easy passes in the early drills, but showed poise as he became comfortable on his home field. Unfortunately, I don't see Hammond moving up the board in a deep WR class, especially with his limited numbers this season (22 catches all year, never more than three in one game). I can see a team taking a chance on him with a very late round pick, but it wouldn't surprise me if he goes undrafted.

    Omarius Hines (WR/TE, 6'0", 215 pounds)

    Hines is another prospect who isn't high on many lists from NFL scouts, but I think he did a lot to get noticed during his drills. Hines has the receiving, running, and blocking ability to play TE, RB or WR. He was clocked around a 4.55 40-time and looked quicker than expected in the cone drills. He also showed a lot of lower body explosiveness. Hines' low statistics were the victim of a diverse Florida offense. That's not his fault, and I think he used pro day to prove he should have been used more. If nothing else, he'll be a fantastic special teams player. Before today, not many mock drafts had Hines getting selected, but I see a fifth or sixth round pick in his future.

     

     

  8. What exactly are you thinking shoukd be the positions that should be filled that hasn't already been addressed?

     

    Stop asking me questions without addressing your errors.

     

     

    Unless you work in the FO, truth is everything out your mouth is an opinion.

     

    Yes, I know. I just acknowledged that in my previous post. The difference between yours and mine is that mine is an informed opinion and yours is not.

  9. I'm not sure what a cornerbackite is...

     

    You are. Because inspite of reality regarding our situation specifically at CB and the situation generally with CBs, you rail in support of an opinion that is incorrect.

     

    Furthermore if you don't care about others opinios why are you even on this forum...

     

    Because like me, there are many here with "informed" opinions. I enjoy those very much. As it stands right now, yours is not one of them. But, I was there too.

     

    Nice tolerance bro.

     

    You run with tolerance...I'll stick with the Truth.
