Senior Bowl Updates
From rotoworld
Rutgers FB/H-Back Brian Leonard wants to play tailback in the NFL. NFL Network's Mike Mayock says Leonard dropped 12 pounds between the season and the Senior Bowl to get fit. The Eagles have already been mentioned as having interest in Leonard as a possible change of pace. Troy Smith measured in at an even 6-0 at the Senior Bowl. Many were concerned that Smith might measure 5-11 or even 5-10, so this is a solid height for him as he tries to prove himself first-day worthy. Louisville DT Amobi Okoye measured in at 6-2/287 at the Senior Bowl. The 19-year-old was listed in the 300-pound range in college, so the weight is down but he reportedly looked like a rock. A certain first-day pick, Okoye may need to play the three technique early in his pro career. Source: buffalobills.com |

Okoye 287? Wow. He'd better look like a rock because that's pretty small for a DT.
This is just personal preference but I like the 330 lb and up DTs. They command double teams, are hard to push back and free up LBers to make plays. |

Even if Okoye is undersized, he is young enough that he can put on weight. FWIW, if he's fast/quick, he'd actually be a prototypical Cover 2 DT, even though he's undersized.

That's not the issue. I said several days ago that the guy was going to have to learn to play 3-technique because he's gonna struggle to play 1T or 2-gap NT in the pros. I got told my opinion was, well, uninformed. Guess it wasn't so uninformed after all... |

FWIW, I agree with you, but the way you are so full of yourself it's sickening. If you know this much, you really should quit your day job and apply for a position with a team.

I watched Louisville in two games this year (Rutgers and Bowl game). In both Okoye seemed to get good penetration on the line - especially in the bowl game. He was back there breaking up reverses etc. I'm not sure where all the talk about him being a NT came from. It seems like one early scouting site will say it and everyone copies it.
What the hell is going on with senior bowl practice reports coming from buffalobills.com?? Don't those writers know they are supposed to be writing about the local media and ex-offensive coordinators? What the hell are they doing talking about the draft? They need Weir to set them straight.

I'm certainly not full of myself. But when a fan of another team comes here and basically calls me an idiot, you damn bet I'm gonna chime in every time he's wrong... |

Looks like the Chiefs are talking to Jonathan Wade-CB Tennessee, according to Scott Wright's (NFL Draft Countdown) player-team observations.

Anyone else notice how Okoye dropped 13 pounds in 13 posts?
Or how Corey Chavous plays for the Vikings? Tells me everything I need to know about this so called "feedback." |
