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. |

Scheme fit is absolutely something that's should be in your list when checking a prospect, it's just that it shouldn't be A. At the top of the list or B. a determining factor |

It's a good thing I'm not running the draft room, because I can't get interested even for a second in defensive front seven players.
I'm trying, but I just really don't want to see us spend a high pick on defense. I feel like our offensive skill positions have been ****ing horrible for years now, and I'm a little obsessed with getting pass catchers. I know that's stupid, but I just felt like coming clean. |

can you please provide some proof of that statement? thanks.
I disagree, and I think the chiefs disagree as well. Time will tell, but it seems like history seems to agree. All their FA pickups were to fit the scheme. Same goes with their draft picks last yr. |

Sutton's 3-4 is more of a hybrid scheme, the DL is asked to 2-gap as well as 1-gap. I guess you missed the statement that virtually every one of the players made when they said it was an attacking style of defense vs your purist 2-gap scheme? Jesus, you don't even know your own team. |

Just because the Chiefs disagree, doesn't make it right.

Be it Donald or a big wr or whatever it is. That's what I'm talking about though. You don't just go thru a list throwing prospects out because they don't fit x or y. If a guy is a good enough football player, you fit your scheme to him. |

this is a propaganda technique known as Ad Hominem, or deligitimizing one's opponent. Personally, I would appreciate the discourse without the propaganda techniques. Its more civil and allows us all to share information and learn some things. |

I understand that line of thinking, but an offense or defense functions as a unit. An example would be the offensive line. They have to play as a cohesive unit. A zone blocking line that has some players who are strictly man blockers will struggle as a hole. Same for vice-versa.

and Hali plays 3-4 OLB, not 3-4 DE.
