San Jose Bills Fan

Sorry. Between Sisyphus and WEO I've gotten a little jumpy around here. Having a hard time sleeping, when I do sleep I have nightmares about message board arguments… my boss told me I looked terrible this morning…

Oh good. I guy with a gun. You should hang around here. You might come in handy if Jimmy Spagnola shows up.

Sounds like early-onset dementia to me.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/04/22/dee-milliner-may-not-be-ready-for-start-of-camp/ The Alabama product was installed as the draft’s top cornerback early in the process, but his perch on the top got a little shakier when Mike Mayock of the NFL Network ranked D.J. Hayden of Houston ahead of him in his final list of prospects. In his Monday Morning Quarterback column this week, Peter King also mentions hearing of teams starting to have some doubts about Milliner related to his shoulder.

His effort is inconsistent too. In the Kentucky game this year he was schizophrenic, shying away from contact and seeming uninterested in the first half. I think the coaches must have yelled at him at halftime because in the second half he was like a man possessed. In the Georgia Tech game he was a holy terror, just destroying people, flying around the field and drilling people. A few times he picked up the ball carriers and body slammed them. Ogletree is an incredible talent. He could be used as an outside linebacker and developed as a rushbacker because his athletic ability is off the charts. Ogletree has more ability in one of his stools than Minter and T'eo combined but he does have questions for sure.

That's right. They played on those Houston teams which couldn't beat the Bills.

I don't have the data to back it up but my impression also is that DT/NTs seem to bust at quite a high rate. It's still an interesting discussion when a player projected to go high slides down in the draft, as I'm predicting with Sharrif Floyd.

Barkley has some very definite ideas about what went wrong in his immediate past. "Yeah, I've thought about it long and hard," Barkley says as he picks disinterestedly at his Cobb salad. "I learned how to handle adversity last season, and maybe I could have done a few things differently. I could've had a bigger voice, given more input and taken it to the next level — pretty much as the owner of the company might … not just letting things happen. "You put faith in your coaches, but when you see trends, things not happening the right way, and when the team rests on your shoulders, it's almost like you have to step up. You can't just let these things go by and watch them disintegrate in front of you. You've got to put the glue in somewhere. Looking back, I wish I'd been more forceful." Added a scout for an NFC team: "He's pissed off cause everything he reads and hears is that he suddenly sucks. He had a rough few months. His season went south. He got hurt and couldn't throw at the [NFL scouting] combine. He got all kinds of bad press." The assault on Barkley isn't merely media driven, however. According to an AFC scout who attended USC's pro day, a high-level executive for one quarterback-needy franchise was so underwhelmed by Barkley's performance that he walked out early, later expressing his lack of regard for the quarterback's arm.

Link?

I don't know the storyline as well as others Lurker but I guess in week 3 or 4 Marrone/Hackett changed the offense and that's when Nassib's performance really started to kick in. I believe that's the story.

And for what it's worth, USC is the much more talented team.

That would be County Agent Hank Kimball… or is it County Kimball Hank Agent? Well, I'll just look at my name tag… huh, it's upside down…

Another highly-rated interior lineman who could bust is Georgia DT John Jenkins. I watched a few of his games and he doesn't seem to have the fire in the belly, although his belly is quite large.

This reminds me of that one episode of Green Acres when Mr Haney cons Mr. Douglas into buying a broken down hay wagon.

Thanks for the feedback. I felt that his measurables did not translate to the field of play. And of course I'm all for good people but that doesn't sway my opinion of his play. I saw his two blocked field goals and like I said, he has nice short-area quickness. The video I watched of Lotulelei was outstanding. He was a constant force. Seeing where Floyd ends up going and how he ends up doing will be very interesting for me.

Yep. Might as well offer some monetary incentives too. Disagree. Wilson has a very strong arm and throws a beautiful ball.

Geez guys, really?

What have you done with Mike from Syracuse and how dare you steal his avatar?!?!?!?

And that's fine because I don't want the Bills to draft an O-lineman at #8, thus my comment about having no concerns.

Can't speak to Werner but having watched some videotape of Tank Carradine, there's one FSU pass rusher who's gonna be awesome IMO. Well seeing as you're a Gator fan, care to comment on my opinion of Sharrif Floyd?

If TJ knows what Bills fans have been writing about him on message boards, he'll have a TON of motivation to prove people wrong.

Mingo has some Maybinesque traits but: 1) He played at a higher level of competition than Maybin 2) He has a longer track record than Maybin 3) He is a better athlete than Maybin. Maybin could only run well at 220 pounds. The few times he was able to bulk up, he lost his speed. Mingo on the other hand carries his weight naturally with speed. I do question Mingo football temperament though. Not sure he has the hunger and the warrior.
