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. |

I wonder who takes Logan Thomas. I have a weird feeling like we will, but if I had to put money on it, I'd say New Orleans.

I like these 40-yard dash simulcasts. Before watching, who do you think wins the race: Cam Newton, Colin Kaepernick, or Jadeveon Clowney?

whoever does the nfl.com player grades should be fired immediately. going through the list.
jase amaro-5.4-nfl backup or has special teams potential. ASJ- 5.5- chance to become an nfl starter. Aaron donald 5.35-nfl backup or has special teams potential. Timmy jernigan 5.6- has a chance to become an nfl starter. sapp said yesterday he'll make an immediate impact, and he's the best college DT he's seen in the past 5 years atleast. louis nix 5.9 has a chance to become an nfl starter. wtf lol. |

I"m not saying the grader is right about any, or all, of them. I'm assuming you're ignoring the negatives involved with those players. It's not as if they're all locks. |

not ignoring the negatives at all...and I expect most of them to "fail" (not living up to their 1st round pick). that is the nature of the game. only so many guys can be at the very top... that being said though, staking them with a rating like "chance to become an nfl starter" and "chance to become a backup or a special teams player" when four of those guys are nearly guaranteed to go in the first round is lunacy. how many players get drafted in the first round, and never start? I wouldn't guess very many.

and I assumed you hadn't seen them play, because I assumed you thought the ratings were worthy, as if the guys were combine warriors without any field play. which isn't the case. I would be fine with a label like that on a guy like a kelvin Benjamin who constantly drops balls, and has only had one good season. but on a guy like Donald with 2 11 sack seasons as a DT, who also turned in a good combine, they could show him a little more love than "could become a starter or a special teams player. regardless of him being an inch or two short, and little underweight.

IMO, Amaro will thrive in a role similar to Hernandez but will struggle if forced to play like an in-line TE.

Pete Prisco is a national embarrassment, yet he still has a job. If he's not worthy of firing, nobody is. |

I just hope he can teach us more about gap integrity and fronts. He seems well-versed and quite knowledgeable.
