The Combine's Here, Bitch!
http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2014/2...-list-workouts
2014 NFL Combine schedule: TV channel, online streaming, invite list, workouts and more By Matt Conner on Feb 20 2014, 10:12a he road to the NFL Draft is longer in 2014 than any other offseason given the league's decision to push it back a few weeks to May 8-10. For the next three months, draftniks will circle around prospects like hawks, analyzing their every move and weighing the pros and cons of each player. The process starts en masse this week with the start of the 2014 NFL Combine in Indianapolis. If you love the Draft, then this is a big week for you. For those who are new to the NFL Combine, it's a seven-day event broken up into four-day shifts for each position group (quarterbacks to punters). Each group comes to Indy for four days to meet with representatives from each NFL team for medical assessments, interviews and a number of workouts. It's termed the Underwear Olympics for that reason, as teams fall in and out of love with prospects based on 40-yard dash times and vertical leaps. The quick guide to the Combine
The Combine workout schedule Here are the days the actual workouts for each position group: Saturday, Feb. 22: Tight Ends, Offensive Linemen, Special Teams Sunday, Feb.23: Quarterbacks, Running Backs, Wide Receivers Monday, Feb. 24: Defensive Line, Linebackers Tuesday, Feb. 25: Defensive Backs There are four groups of players arriving as shown above. Each group has four days of events. Day 1: Travel to Indianapolis* ~ Registration ~ Hospital Pre-Exam & X-rays ~ Orientation ~ Interviews Day 2: Measurements ~ Medical Examinations ~ Media ~ Interviews Day 3: NFLPA Meeting ~ Psychological Testing ~ PK/ST Workout ~ Bench Press ~ Interviews Day 4: On-Field Workout (timing, stations, skill drills) ~ Departure from Indianapolis With the first arrivals coming on Wednesday, that puts the first day of workouts on Saturday. The players invited Every top college football player will likely be in attendance in Indianapolis, even if some of the top athletes won't participate in the workouts. The NFL invited over 300 players to attend. Teddy Bridgewater to Jadeveon Clowney, your favorite college players will likely be there. Who is eligible to be invited to the Combine? Basically, seniors without college eligibility left and those who have declared early. And how are players selected to the Combine? Read this: Quote:
The workouts The most important one is not a workout -- it's the interview. Teams will have the opportunity to interview players where they'll get about 15 minutes with them. With so little time, the questions have to be precise and all have a purpose. The second most important item there is getting the medical check-up -- essentially confirming that the player is healthy or checking out previous injuries. Team doctors will want this information so the GMs and coaches can make an informed decision. Some of the other workouts, via Big Blue View: Quote:
NFL Network will televise some of it. NFL.com will stream the action. KCChiefs.com will have full video of Andy Reid and John Dorsey's press conferences but will not stream them live. |

Are you suggesting that defensive lineman can play equally well in either scheme? Last edited by planetdoc; 02-24-2014 at 05:26 PM.. |

Dude Brandin Cooks has the same hand size as Evans. Wow. It's gotta be obvious to this front office that our free agent dollars should go towards the defense and we find pass catcher in this hell of a draft.
I'm thinking we should go WR in the first and TE in the third. |

I could care less how many snaps Donald plays, I'd actually prefer that he not play on run downs and stay rested in order to be at 100% on passing plays. Hell, I don't want any of our DL players to log more than 60% of snaps through out the season. As long as Donald's snaps are coming in the 2nd half when we have to hold onto a lead while playing on passing downs in the 1st, I am completely fine with that. I guarantee you that Luck does not lead that comeback against us had Donald been on the field, terrorizing the middle of their line in the second half. I could care less about getting a "3-down" lineman who can dominate at 5-tech in the first quarter only to disappear in the second half. You want a 5-tech? Go sign a vet who already knows how to play it at the NFL level. Give me the most dominant 1-gap penetrator over any 5-tech project and let me turn him loose on opposing QBs in the second half when they are trying to mount a comeback. That is the biggest reason why I want to draft Donald, he truly gives you that element vs Tuitt and Hageman who are both honestly too slow to get to the QB without great coverage on the backside helping them out. Donald is a guy who can make up for poor coverage and get into the QB's head; no way that Manning will be able to step up in the pocket with Donald and Poe collapsing the middle. |

Disappointing that Bashaud Breeland measured in under 6'0" today. He was listed at least two inches taller.

Victor Hampton and Jason Verrett measured in at 5'9". Yeesh. Boy do colleges like to add an inch or two to their guys.
Jean-Baptiste and McGill came in at 6'3" -- just look huge. 33" and 32" arms, respectively. |

Jimmie Ward only put up 9 reps on the bench. Project, it seems.
Purifoy out of Florida only put up 6... |

Kenny Ladler put up 25. Pretty boss for a safety.

He still has decent length. As for Dennard, he will drop because of his 30" arms and lack of elite athleticism and speed. I bet someone is going to take Fuller ahead of Dennard.

second, Seatle's defense is a complete team, and I think their defensive success can be attributed more to their outstanding db play more than their line. For the regular season, they had 44 sacks, tied for 8th in the NFL. Chiefs had 46 sacks. Quote:
