  1. He's also the best player in the draft, those players usually aren't around at 11.
  2. Yeah for one year.........CRABTREE IS A NO BRAINER, DID YOU GUYS SEE HIM PLAY?
  3. I know thats what makes it so damn crazy, you see the tusks on those things?
  4. More like 240 lb safety, Adrian Wilson is a beast.
  5. Am I the only one here who thinks this sucks, I was hoping DirectTV wouldn't get an exclusive contract....I remember when Sunday Ticket was like $150 not $360 like it is now with Superfan. Now DirectTV can keep raising the price as the please since once again there is no competition. FYI- YOU CAN GET SUPERFAN FOR FREE!!!!! If you are getting Sunday Ticket for the first time just call and ask about it and tell them you want superfan. Then when they tell you the price just tell them that its too expensive and that you might consider Sunday Ticket at the normal price but that you don't won't it if its not in HD. If you are a renewing subscriber with superfan you can call to cancel your sunday ticket and tell them its too expensive, and they will offer to throw it in for free. The only year I had to pay for Superfan was the year before last because I forgot to call before the renew date (which is in like Freaking April, when the last thing on your mind is getting billed for something that starts in September ).
  6. This might keep my neighbor's dog from dumpin in my yard.
  7. Dude, although I admit my bias is one of epic proportions considering Chase Coffman did not only play for my alma mater but Derek Fine also played for our arch Rival Kansas Gayhawks. And although my hatred for Kansas runs so deep that it physically impairs from finding something good about a ChickenHawk.... I will say this: Derek Fine cannot hold Chase Coffman's Jock. Coffman is bigger, faster, taller, can out jump, make specatular catches and is a much better TE than Fine. Coffman catches everything!
  8. Well I think he's def. worth the second round pick I was thinking he could fall since he hasn't been able to work out yet.
  9. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/565753 SIMILIAR GRADE, COULD BE HAD IN THE THIRD..... CHASE COFFMAN GENERAL REPORT. GRADE: 6.80 Body Structure: Coffman has a well-built frame with good muscle definition in the chest and arms, thick quadriceps, thighs and calves. He has room to add more bulk, as he has a long torso and a developing frame with narrow hips and long limbs. Athletic Ability: Coffman has a tall, linear build with a frame that can carry at least another 20 pounds of bulk with no loss in quickness. He has good foot quickness and balance, with very good flexibility when changing directions. He is explosive with his initial step off the line of scrimmage and shows the body control to easily adjust on the move. He demonstrates the wingspan and reach to adjust easily to the poorly thrown pass and looks agile and alert running his routes. Coffman has natural hands, above average lateral agility and does a fine job of getting open, displaying the power to break tackles and the leaping ability to hurdle over smaller opponents. Teams might put up a red flag due to his durability issues, as his recent surgery for a foot injury sidelined him for the Senior Bowl, NFL Combine and the team's first Pro Day, leaving just a tiny window for teams with interest to get an opportunity to work him out prior to the draft. GRADE: 6.6 Football Sense: Coffman comes from a football family and has a strong concept for playing the game. He makes quick decisions on the field and is an alert blocker with good vision in his routes. He understands the game well and is quick to come back for the ball when his quarterback is in trouble. He gives total effort until the whistle and competes hard in games and practices, showing the ability to make good adjustments on the fly. He is the type of player that needs only minimal reps to retain plays. Coffman is very alert to picking up stunts, twists and games. He also has a keen sense for finding the soft spot in the zone and the open area in the deep secondary. GRADE: 7.2 Character: Coffman is an all-around good character who is well-respected by the teammates and coaching staff. He is a well-spoken, straight-laced type. He receives very good family support, as his father played in the NFL and a younger brother is a reserve quarterback at Kansas State. He is a compliant sort with no known off-field issues. GRADE: 7.0 Competitiveness: Coffman is a tough blocker and performer who played through pain (ankle) the second half of his junior season and through toe and foot problems late in 2008, but still went out and suited up for the team. He has that fearless attitude going for the ball in traffic and will not hesitate to mix it up in the trenches. Though not used in this area in 2007, he has a nasty nature as a special teamer, keeping his head on a swivel, looking for targets to attack. He shows that fire in his belly to compete for the ball and plays until the whistle. He shows no hesitation in sacrificing his body to make the big play and is the type that wants the ball in pressure situations. He competes to finish as a blocker and you can see that he plays with an inherent mean streak. GRADE: 6.8 Work Habits: Coffman is a good worker in the weight room and practices, which also serves as an example for the team's younger players. He took on more of a leadership role as a junior and was counted on to mentor a young tight end crop in 2008. He's the kind of player you want as one of your captains, as he will not hesitate to take a teammate to task for a less than stellar effort. He is the type who works hard, as he shows the desire to get better and will do whatever it takes to improve. He has good strength, but needs to increase his bulk and continue to improve power base in order to compete at the next level (has the frame to add more weight). GRADE: 6.4 ATHLETIC REPORT: GRADE: 6.39 Release: Coffman has a decent get-off, but he does a good job of using his arm extension and hands to push and shove his way through press coverage. He uses his size well to escape the jam and has the strength to power through the hold up. His acceleration is not something that defenses need to account for at all times, but he is a threat to affect and stretch the coverage with his long stride. In the short area, he is an inviting target due to his above lateral agility. He might lack blazing speed, but his quickness in building acceleration lets him consistently stretch defenses when working deep, doing a very nice job of adjusting his routes to set up the defender. Few tight ends can power through tacklers like Coffman can when he gets going at full steam. GRADE: 5.8 Acceleration: Coffman has the quickness to escape the press and adequate strength to power through the hold up. He shows no hesitation nor does he utilize any false steps getting off the line of scrimmage. He is a threat to affect and stretch the coverage. In the short area, he is an inviting target due to his above lateral agility. He also does a very nice job of adjusting his routes to set up the defender. GRADE: 6.0 Quickness: Coffman has just average quickness and timed speed for his position. He moves easily in and out of his cuts and flashes the ability to defeat the jam with his feet while maintaining his acceleration throughout the routes. He shows adequate suddenness coming off the snap and getting into his patterns. He displays urgency to gain advantage when blocking in-line, as he has the loose hip snap in his kick slide to get into position and the retreat ability to mirror edge rushers trying to attack from the backside. GRADE: 5.4 Route Running: Coffman is a crisp route runner who shows good definition when trying to break off his routes squarely. He was not featured much in the offense later in his last two seasons due to ankle and foot injuries, but he has the natural hands and ability to locate the soft areas underneath more in multiple receiver formations. Even when used on the tight end delay, he has that stride and balance to slip by defenders and get into the seam. He shows steady acceleration and the ability to adjust in the open and also displays good awareness of coverages. He does a good job of settling into the soft spot in the zone. He has the ability to isolate the linebackers and safeties and shows a valid second gear needed to elude in the open. He can power through, hurdle over or simply side-step to elude after the catch and does an excellent job finding the small crease when working in traffic. GRADE: 6.9 Separation Ability: Coffman moves easily for a player his size. He shows the ability to jab in one direction and suddenly wheel to break off a route squarely. He has strong hands to push off the defender in attempts to separate, using his size well to ward off before gaining separation with his foot quickness and balance. His body control allows him to uncover and get open underneath. He shows awareness of the sticks and good balance running down the sidelines. The thing you see on film is his ability to make sharp cuts underneath or accelerate to get open on intermediate routes (broke multiple tackles for gains of at least 10 yards after the catch on 77 of his 247 career grabs). He also uses his body very well to shield defenders from the ball. GRADE: 6.0 Ball Concentration: Coffman has a good feel for coverage and maintains his focus going up for the ball in traffic. He seems more comfortable catching the ball in stride than when having to leap for it and while he has good arm extension and decent vertical leaping skills, he does need to gather some and build his acceleration after his feet again touch ground after the leaping catch. He is a natural hands catcher, but will let the ball come into his body sometimes (does a good job of absorbing the ball though). Still, he is a physical receiver with enough strength to out-battle the defender for the ball and will do a very good job of looking the ball in over his shoulders. With his ability to adjust on the move, he is an inviting target underneath and on tight end delays. GRADE: 7.5 Ball Adjustment: Coffman does a very nice job of reading the flight of the ball and making adjustments to it, as he has that great body control that lets him adjust for the ball outside his framework. He has above average body control and enough vertical ability to get to the pass at its high point. Most of his RAC comes when he catches the ball in stride (broke 77 tackles for big gains on 247 catches), as he has that power to drive through tackles and the hip swerve to elude after the reception. He looks very flexible attempting to catch the off-target throws and has excellent hand/eye coordination. GRADE: 7.0 Leaping Ability: Coffman shows good leaping ability and adequate timing. He does not generate the same burst after the catch when he has to go up for the ball as he does when he catches it in stride, as he will sometimes brace and wait for impact, but he has made great strides in timing his leap to get to the ball at its highest point. He has the ability to turn and run with the ball after the catch, thanks largely to his above average balance. One very impressive statistic, in regards to his leaping ability and high-point skills, was the fact that defenders managed to deflect just one pass thrown to him in 2008, by far the lowest total of any starting receiver or tight end in college. GRADE: 6.1 Hands: Coffman is a natural hands catcher who will rarely ever bobble the ball (only dropped one throw last season). He has the large, soft hands to pluck the ball and his concentration working in a crowd makes him very good at attaining ball security (recovered the only fumble he had in college). He can extend and pluck the ball away from the body's framework with ease, thanks to soft hands that lets hum catch away from his body. On those rare occasions when he will trap the ball, he does a good job of maintaining focus and securing it before running (only one fumble in 50 games). Further evidence of his Velcro-type hands was the fact that he caught 88.24 percent of all the passes thrown to him (90 of 102) as a senior. GRADE: 8.1 Run After the Catch: Coffman has decent quickness to run with the ball after securing it, but it is his leg drive that lets him gain most of his RAC, as he can power through initial contact. He shows deceptive moves and good hip shake to elude and turns it up hard to bleed extra yardage after the catch. He runs hard and has enough head fakes and hip snap to separate in the open. He is the type of player that can threaten a defense underneath and also be used on deep routes. He is elusive and has enough foot speed to win battles vs. linebackers and safeties, but can be captured by the quicker defensive backs in the open. Still, he has enough functional strength to break arm tackles and gain yardage with defenders draped on him. GRADE: 6.0 Blocking Ability: Coffman really relishes this daunting aspect of his game. He was the recipient of the team's Hammer Award, given for the most key blocks registered in a season, as a sophomore and can overpower smaller opponents or out-finesse the bigger ones. He gives good effort as an in-line blocker, where he has the foot quickness to position and stay square while consistently working to sustain. He is more effective when having to block in the open field, where his good body control lets him get on linebackers and stay in their faces. He has a strong hand punch to pancake defenders, working hard to maintain position and finish. On sweeps, when working as a lead blocker, he shows good balance and feet to control, gain movement and wall-off the smaller defenders. However, scouts feel that he does not have the size to be a consistent blocker at the next level. They might want to see his Hammer Award before coming to that evaluation. GRADE: 5.5 Compares To: HEATH MILLER, Pittsburgh -- Whether used in the classic tight end position or in motion, one thing is evident - Coffman has the natural hands and RAC ability to gain big yardage once he gets the ball in his hands. He has outstanding size, arm extension and balance to go along with good strength to break tackles. He shows great body control adjusting to off-target throws and flashes good aggression as a blocker. With Martin Rucker having graduated, Coffman emerged as the team's featured target in 2008 until he was injured late in the year. The foot surgery has set back his workouts for teams, making it possible that he will be drafted lower than his scouting report indicates. OVERALL GRADE: 6.45
  10. Dude I'm not a BJ hater at all but the vasoline thing had nothing to do with the fight.....the first fight was three years prior and St. Pierre is way better than he was three years ago. Both BJ and St. Pierre said leading up to UFC 94 you could not even compare the first fight because they were both such improved fighers, George just improved a lot more apparently. Its not the vasoline that negated BJ's BJJ its the fact that despite being much bigger and stronger than BJ, George is much quicker and an overall better fighter. It wasn't the vasoline that dominated BJ is was the fact that St. Pierre is the best Wrestler in the UFC although he has no wrestling backround. Its not like Phil Nurse caked it on between rounds.....it was minimal (not saying it was OK). I've watched the fight twice now over the last two days and there is no way this had any impact on the fight.....BJ got his ass kicked.
  11. I'm on the Grey Manor Bandwagon at 155.....I think he's your next champ.
  12. I don't think he ever slipped into Round 2 and I still think he's a top 15 pick.
  13. Agree to disagree then....that fight was a complete beatdown, the vasoline had no impact on the fight. If BJ keeps taking guys lightly I think he's going to be surprised at 155, I don't think Ken-Flo can beat him but I think a guy like Grey Manor or Diego Sanchez def. has a shot.
  14. Dude, Sloth did you see the fight?.....St. Pierre beat his ass and passed his guard at will because he was quicker and stronger and an all-around better fighter. Maybe if BJ would actually get his ass out of Hawaii to train with guys who served a purpose other than feeding his ego than he might have had a shot......Georges is not Sean Sherk, he's arguably the best fighter in the world. The vasoline had no effect on this fight. I like BJ Penn but he got his ass kicked, plain and simple. He looks like a crybaby filing this complaint, just take your ass-whooping and go back down to 155 where if you're not careful you might lose your belt.......Kenny Florian, Gray Manor, and Diego Sanchez would all be good fights for BJ.
  15. You guys are missing the underlying truth to why Derek Fine sucks............... he played at Kansas....fuggin GayHawk
  16. Kind like nobody wanted that TO guy bc he was a locker room cancer right?
  17. Staying Here Anybody ever been? just booked a week long trip the end of May.... what do I HAVE to do when I'm there (besides the girlfriend ). So far I've heard Ricks Cafe and YS falls. Anybody else got any suggestions.
  18. Who cares? He will not be there at 11. If by the grace of god he does fall, its a no brainer.
  19. So what? the problem is his addiction, he should get help for that. Just because some guy gets drunk and beats his wife doesn't mean the rest of shouldn't be able to enjoy a cocktail now and again. I guy could decide to run someone over with his car, should cars be illegal?
  20. So you don't want a dominate DT because you don't like his build? Have you seen how most of them are built? Raji is a freaking beast.
