****Official NFL Scouting Combine 2009 Thread**** - Page 5

With the Combine starting today, I thought it would be nice to have a thread with all updates from the Combine all in one place. Any player discussion from Indianapolis is welcome here.

If you cant use stats to explain why Crabtree is a top 10 guy, you cant use stats to discredit what Curry is. Draft is a crap shoot, in the end, you have to put them in the best posibble situation to succeed. The NFL, IMO, has forgotten how to coach.

edit: ok, so 173 of those "run plays" were qb runs. I don't know how many draws there were, but I imagine it was mostly scrambling. So that'd be 463 passing to 308 running. Still a lot of snaps both ways.

They ran a spread option. Almost all of those runs were zone read plays. He's not engaging an end head on and drive blocking someone's bitch ass, he's moving laterally and trapping and pulling.

Thanks, obviously I haven't watched Baylor play. I wonder where he gets the reputation then, I tried to find a highlight vid but no dice.

Jesus Pettigrew just ran a 4.85

milkman · 02-21-2009, 12:53 PM

After watching the O-Linemen working out this morning, I still like Urbik and Topou, who I've liked all season.

I also liked what I saw from AQ Shiply and Eric Wood.

Haha, some had him as a 1st rounder too. Blocking TEs don't usually go before the 3rd.

I was not impressed by Topou.

I was very impressed by Jamon Meredith.

unothadeal · 02-21-2009, 12:58 PM

Are any of the elite O-lineman working out today?

'Hamas' Jenkins · 02-21-2009, 01:01 PM

4.97 second time for Jesus Pettigrew. Mayock still jerking him off.

And yes, all elite O-linemen have already worked out today.

Meredeth was another that impressed.

As for Tupou, there were a couple of things he didn't do well, but his feet are really fluid.

To me, the most important attributes for O-Linemen are intelligence and graceful feet.

Everything else is coachable.

I'm hating these guys talking over the drills

melbar · 02-21-2009, 01:21 PM

Has anyone found Andre Smith yet? How do you not show up? Looks like he and Crabtree are the potential fallers so far.

Me too. Love those guys with a little attitude and work ethic. Urbic was nice too.

Yeah, I would like to see them spend time actually talking about the drills we are seeing.
