Larry Asante laid someone the **** out

oh so maybe i'm not wrong about Mays not even being a safety in the NFL?

:eek:


mofos around here been squawking about Mays for months talking all this bullshit about what a great safety he is ... where is that thread about some people thinking we should actually take Mays at #5 if Berry is gone.

No, you are wrong.

Yea and people like Nutsack laughing at Earl Thomas is pretty funny.

are you sure ... have you asked mecca what your opinion should be yet?

Scott makes a pretty good politician with his many words.

When camera showed the stands, Todd and Romeo were talking together, Charlie was 4 ft away looking in the opposite direction like he was in time out. He was probably just watching what he wanted to watch. Lots of drills going on with offense and defense. They all looked like they were paying attention. When you see some of the other coaches from other staffs, it looks like they're not even watching.

One statement that Scott made that got my attention. This is not an exact quote, but basically from the player personnel side Todd and now Charlie are running the same type of offense so they are looking at the same type of players that Scott has been looking at for the last 18 years. The defense is the same defense that he has been looking at for 17 of his last 18 years.

Why I'm pointing this out, you can go back and look at their past drafts, trades, and free agent signings and get a pretty good idea of player personnel moves for the future on the Chiefs.

This morning’s North team practice was filled with excitement and energy from the players and coaches. As usual, Missouri LB Sean Weatherspoon led the charge on this, keeping his team mates fired up after every big hit. Lots of cheers and yelling from the players throughout practice as their intensity remained high. I saw numerous head coaches this morning, including Ravens HC John Harbaugh, Seahawks HC Pete Carroll, Steelers HC Mike Tomlin, Bucs HC Raheem Morris, Rams HC Steve Spagnolo, Falcons HC Mike Smith and 49ers HC Mike Singletary.

There were a few additions to the roster: Cory Jackson, Maryland FB, Thomas Welch, Vanderbilt OT, and Donald Jones, WR Youngstown State.

I started the practice by watching the defensive linemen drills. There were several scouts from the Saints, Redskins, Jaguars, rams and Eagles watching as well as Rams HC Steve Spagnolo, Falcons HC Mike Smith and Bengals DC Mike Zimmer. As usual, Brandon Graham looked terrific. He was really flashing his speed and athleticism in the bag drills. Austen Lane struggled early. He really seems raw as a pass rusher, but does have the physical tools to play the position. Jared Odrick and Tyson Alualu struggled with their footwork, looking out of control at times. They made up for it later in team drills though, looking tough in the trenches.

Turning my attention to the linebackers, Sean Weatherspoon looks very good, as usual. Something I hadn’t noticed before in teams drills is that the North is playing Spoon at MLB, and he seems to be doing very well. Donald Butler of Washington has a tendency to get a little high when back pedaling for coverage, but had a solid day overall. Koa Misi displayed pretty good footwork at the linebacker spot for a guy that was a full time defensive end at Utah. TCU OLB Daryl Washington has impressed me. He’s all over the field in coverage, displaying speed that is good enough to run with most tight ends and running backs. Washington is also a physical player, always getting a nice pop on the ball carrier.

Here are some other notes from this morning’s North Practice:

Sean Weatherspoon was playing very fast and was moving from sideline to sideline with ease. He did have some problems in his drops (not getting back fast enough) and let a few balls get over his head because of this. He also got inside Vladamir Ducasse on one running play and anchored well. Weatherspoon was playing MLB in the Lions Staffs 4-3 defense. He played pretty well and he might have a future there.


Tony Pike had a disapointing morning. He was late on a few balls, one that ending up getting intercepted by Chris Cook (Virginia) on a pass to Mardy Gilyard. He looked very awkward on his rollouts and most of the balls he threw on the run were down at the receivers knees.

Syd’Quan Thompson had an up and down day. Sometimes he stayed right in the receivers hip pocket in coverage, other times he was left behind. Syd was beat deep by Pitt TE Dorin Dickerson today, something that cannot happen at the next level.

Brandon Ghee has a solid performance today. He made several good plays on the ball and was rarely out of position in coverage. Brandon Ghee did have one play where he tried to wrap up Dorin Dickerson around the head and Dickerson just stuck his head down and ran right by him. He needs to tackle lower, especially on someone with the strength and bodt control of Dickerson.

Danario Alexander had an outstanding day running routes. He seems crisp in his route running and really worked the middle of the field well. Danario also showed some physicality by fighting defensive backs for the ball, and usually winning. He ran some of the best routes of the day and got separation deep, which is something that was questioned before this week. He also has great body control and knows how to shield the defender from the ball. He is making himself a lot of money this week and is a legitimate 2nd round pick right now.

Chris Cook had a very good day in coverage. He’s showing that he’s a physical defensive back that will stick his head in on tackles and fight for the ball. During team drills, he read Tony Pike like a book and jumped an out route pass to Mardy Gilyard, intercepting it with ease.

Dorin Dickerson had one of the best days out there. When passes come near him he just clamps down on the ball, snagging it out of the air. Dickerson also had a fantastic over the shoulder catch on a deep pass from Tony Pike, in which he beat Syd’Quan Thompson.

Jacoby Ford had a nice day of practice and he’s showing that he may be a versatile receiving threat. He caught passes all over the field, including a nice deep pass from Tony Pike

LeGarrette Blount had another strong outing. He’s really playing well out there when he runs between the tackles. First contact just will not bring this guy down. He looked quick on his feet and was patient but quick through the hole. He ran less upright than we’re used to seeing, which is a good sign.

In team drills, Brandon Graham was impressive again. He’s continuing his trend from college of always being in the backfield as he’s just too quick for most of the North team blockers.

Ed Dickson was also impressive today as a receiver/route runner. He showed outstanding body control on a few tough catches.

Mardy Gilyard didn’t have too many catches this morning, but he ways always going 100% and was giving a good effort blocking down the field.

Mike Iupati had a good practice and showed great quickness in short areas. On one play he pulled offensive right and completely took two defenders out of the play.

Joique Bell caught several passes from out of the backfield today, showing sure hands and quickness to the outside. Bell also has a nice juke move while in open space.

Sean Canfield placed a beautiful ball over the head of Brandon Graham who was in coverage on the play. He didn’t take too many snaps today, but overall he impressed.

Vladimir Ducasse was moved around the offensive line today, and we saw him pull from the left tackle position. Ducasse had the speed to get all the way back to the right side and block down field for the ball carrier.

Both Rashawn Jackson and Cory Jackson had good days at FB. They were physical, made some good blocks and even caught some balls out of the backfield.

Zoltan Mesko didn’t have his best day. But it’s ok, he has the coolest name in the world. Some of his punts were just straight line drives and he didn’t have many long kicks. He did manage to get some good hangtime, however.

Thomas Welch, on his first day, had a pretty good practice. A lot of tall guys can struggle with leverage but he has good knee bend and really gets under the defender. He could be someone to watch for in the coming days.

Tyson Alualu plays like a little kid out there, but in a good way. He is very energetic and always pumped up. He packs a very powerful punch.

Speaking of energetic, North Carolina’s Cam Thomas really does enjoy yelling. I’m almost worried he isn’t breathing enough out there and that he might collapse. He grunts and screams before durig and after the play. He seems to have strong hands, but he isn’t very quick or fast. Might have potential as a NT.

As for what teams were talking to players after practice today, we observed the following:

Houston Texans: Thomas Welch, Mike Iupati, Lonyae Miller
Cleveland Browns: Kurt Coleman, Thomas Welch
New York Jets: Mike Windt
Baltimore Ravens: Syd’Quan Thompson, Joique Bell
Kansas City Chiefs: Syd’Quan Thompson
Detroit Lions: AJ Edds (were working Edds out as a long snapper off to the side – I know they’re coaching but this was odd to me)
Atlanta Falcons: Donald Jones
St. Louis Rams: Mike Neal, Sean Weatherspoon
Washington Redskins: Austen Lane
Jacksonville Jaguars: Vladimir Ducasse
Oakland Raiders: Phillip Dillard

It's obvious the Chiefs are going to go for a CB this draft. I expect alot of people to complain and thats ok. Leggett sucks and Brandon Carr isn't a #2.

I wouldn't be surprised either. The sad thing is they spent their 4th round pick last year on Donald Washington who was awful. He should of at least made a contribution on special teams but was no where to be found.:grr:

Syd'Quan is not exactly a good fit here...he's not as gifted as Carr or Washington for that matter, he's also really small.

Strictly a zone CB with questionable speed, in the 1 on 1's he looked bad because he knows he doesn't have man up speed.

Might happen but it will be very disappointing. It means they were wrong about D. Washington and it means KC has one less draft pick for the other needed positions.

If they want a CB, go after Leigh Bodden. Come to think of it, never mind, Romeo while at Cleveland traded him away to Detroit NT Shaun Rogers.

I just think we have bigger holes to fill than CB.

I know, they are just talking to CBs to pick their brains on the hardest WRs to cover. :)

The most impressive CB's down there are Kyle Wilson and Devin McCourty, I wonder why we're talking to Thompson...

Because Syd'Quan is an amazingly awesome name.

It doesn't mean the Chiefs were wrong about Washington it means Leggett sucks and Carr isn't a starter.

I've wondered about a CB like Javier Arenas, if he fell a few rounds, primarily as a return man. He could help field position and maybe give the ST a few TDs. Could also battle for the CB position.

Some of these comments are hilarious.

Average with frail arms (ouch)
Built like fire hydrant
Frail for OL
unimpressve

The Chiefs have parts/players that are missing that will make the CBs look a lot better. They need a NT, ILB, S, and OLB. Add some good players in those positions and Carr, Leggett, and even Flowers will look better.

I don't think his "size" has anything to do with it. I think you are ignoring the fact that Cody is a flabby bastard. Fat is one thing. But loose hanging flesh is another. I'd be very concerned that Cody is lazy. That's what would concern me more than his being fat. Like I said before, if he were rotund I would probably agree with your assessment. But he is not rotund. He's flabby as hell. That's a sign of being lazy. IMO, there should be a little more muscle with his loose hanging flab than there is.

JMO.

Can we please draft Eric Norwood?

Who was the guy in the North practice wearing a Dolphins helmet?

Tebow looked solid in Wednesday's practice from what I saw on the NFLN

John Conner FB from Kentucky. He was wearing the Dolphins Helmet to hide him from the Terminator that was hunting for him.

Norwood looked great today. Heads and shoulders better than any of the other pass rushers, IMO.

Brandon Graham has looked good too from what i've heard

I missed the South practice.

How did the OTs look?

They really didn't show any footage of the OL/DL drills from what I saw, because they only showed 30 minutes of the practice I think. Then they cut to the Pro Bowl practice.

All I saw was drills with pass rushers vs. backs and TEs, and some DB/WR drills. In 30 minutes, they seemed to be focused more on showing Tebow and Mays at every opportunity.

**** yea he's gove the moves now I just want to see if he's got the strength to bull rush tackles. If he does then he's clearly the best LB in the draft.

Norwood was an excellent college player and I think he'll be a good pro. I would love for the Chiefs to draft him at the right spot. However, there's no way that he's clearly the best LB in the draft no matter what he does in the senior bowl at the combine or in private workouts.

He's probably the most NFL ready at OLB from the standpoint of complete package, i.e, pass rush, hold up against the run, and in pass coverage.

I agree, and if put at OLB I think Spikes can be in that category as well.

I have not seen any south practices, but I found this interesting in that it contrasts with what posters said today:

Eric Nor*wood – LB – South Carolina

"Some*thing seems off with Nor*wood down here. He has the thick frame to han*dle the phys*i*cal*ity but he strug*gled to get off blocks in the live team drill. His feet were got stag*nant in cov*er*age, mak*ing him an easy tar*get for QBs to pick on." newerascouting.com

Did*n't see him in the team drills, but he looked real*ly solid in the in*di*vid*ual drills. Like I said, they did*n't show a*lot of the prac*tice to*day for some rea*son be*cause of the pro bowl prac*tic*es.

W*hat the **** i*s wro*ng wi*th you*r t*ex*t?

Uh, if you're going to do it, at least put them in the right spot. I was just copying the style from Chiefnj2's post. Something about *'s separating every syllable. I just thought it was the new, cool thing to do.

*What *is* s*yl*lable*s?

Really? A lot of those guys are pure speed guys.

Tate's a technician of the position. He's pretty fast but not blazing fast. Runs outstanding routes. And makes all the catches. He'll be a solid but unspectacular slot guy, probably.

If I was to compare to anybody, it would definitely be another Charlie Weis guy--Deion Branch.

Manningham, Jennings, Steve Smith (USC) and Lee Evans all have similar size, speed and college production as Golden Tate.

I hope Tate does poorly at the combine. I would love to land McClain, Cody, and Tate with our first three picks.

As far as OLB in the 3-4 Norwood is probably the best prospect. Who would you say is?

That's not what you said. You said best LB, which is inclusive of all LB positions.

Good lord Todd McShay is slaughtering Tebow every chance he gets.

Not saying Tebow is a great Pro QB prospect, but Todd McShay is generally full of McSh** on most things.

I don't think Tebow will be a great NFL QB, but it's hard for me to believe that he wouldn't be at least as good as some of the others in the league right now.

Well it almost seems like he's taking it personal.I mean I know it's his job to give his opinion and all,but damn!!! He's making Tebow sound like JaPorkchop.I don't know if the kid will make it at the next level or not but I'm very curious to see.

McShay,McDaniels,both full of McShit!ROFL

Why not? The guy CAN'T even take a snap from under center right now. He has a very hard uphill climb ahead of him.

The Kansas City Chiefs talked with a pair of cornerbacks and a big wide receiver after yesterday's practice according to DraftCountdown.com.

One player was headed to play baseball with the Rangers until last week.

Info on the players, after the jump.



CB Perrish Cox (5'11", 189 pounds), Oklahoma State

Chad Reuter of NFLDraftScout.com says Cox is helping himself this week with solid play, especially because other corners haven't looked so sharp.

He's got sub 4.5 speed and a knack for breaking up passes but he also missed curfew twice during bowl week causing him to miss his team's game. Definitely something for scouts to keep an eye on. On the other hand, this could be a positive causing him to slip if the Chiefs were interested and getting good value.

He's expected to go around the second round.

NFLDraftScout.com Profile.

WR Riley Cooper (6'4", 214 pounds), Florida
Another interesting story here. Cooper originally opted for MLB, even receiving a $250,000 bonus from the Texas Rangers before deciding football is the sport he wants to play. He told the Rangers, 'Thanks but no thanks', and is focusing on football.

He caught 51 passes for over 900 yards and 9 touchdowns in 2009. He's listed as running a 4.5 but he says he can get higher than that.

He expects to go anywhere from the 2nd-4th round.

NFLDraftScout.com Profile.

CB Trevard Lindley (5'11", 178 pounds), Kentucky

He had an early season ankle injury that sidelined him for a month and struggled at times because of that.

He runs about a 4.5 and is expected to go in the 4th-5th round.

http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2010/1...-two#storyjump

We've got word that the Kansas City Chiefs met with a few more players at the Senior Bowl this week.

Scott Pioli was known for taking a look at late round quarterbacks so one of them isn't a huge surprise. There's also two fullbacks and a strong safety trying to prove he can player cornerback as well.



QB Dan LeFevour (6'3", 229 pounds), Central Michigan

Chiefs GM Scott Pioli took a late round quarterback somewhat often while with the Patriots and LeFevour fits that mold. He has good size and some scrambling ability but his accuracy hasn't been great at the Senior Bowl practices.

He's projected to go in the 3rd-4th round.

NFLDraftScout.com Profile.

SS/CB Kurt Coleman (5'11", 189 pounds), Ohio State

Coleman is trying to prove he can play both safety and cornerback in the NFL. He feels some of the nickel defenses he played in at Ohio State will help him tremendously as he makes the leap to the NFL.

He's projected to go in the 5th round and runs about a 4.5 40.

NFLDraftScout.com Profile.

FB John Connor (5'11", 240 pounds), Kentucky

He got the late invite because a LSU running back failed a physical and couldn't play.

He's one of the few fullbacks that could actually be drafted, which is a rarity of sorts. He's an underrated runner and receiver and played in a school record 54 games, which means there's plenty of tape on him.

He could be drafted in the 7th round or a UDFA.

NFLDraftScout.com Profile.

FB/HB Rashawn Jackson (6'1", 239 pounds), Virginia

NFL Draft Scout has had him as their top fullback for some time. He's more versatile than John Connor it sounds like and has the athleticism to be a great pass/run blocker and catch the ball out of the backfield.

He could be drafted in the 4th-6th round.

NFLDraftScout.com Profile.

Looks like we're looking for that big fullback who can pound the ball a few times a game. Seems to be pretty popular in the NFL now. Guys like Peyton Hillis and Le'Ron McClain are showing that fullbacks can make a big impact running the ball.

You don't need a FB to do that. Montario Hardesty, Ben Tate, Anthony Dixon, Toby Gerhart, Charles Scott and LeGarrette Blount can all fill that role at HB.

It's interesting to me how I'm reading practice and player reviews from numerous sources and they all conflict with each other. I think I've read totally conflicting reports on most of the players there.

Yeah. Honestly if we're going to get a guy to spell Charles, I'd rather have it be a talented power HB rather than your run of the mill FB.

Just my opinion.

He also has terrible throwing mechanics and a weak arm.

Not really a recipe for success in the NFL.

Bringing this thread back up...

Senior Bowl Game on today at 3:00 PM CST on NFL Network.
