Kelly the Dog Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Kevin Weidl from Scouts Inc. has his Senior Bowl Practice Day 1 Recap on ESPN Insider. I'm going to paraphrase here, but here is what he said about Nassib: He thought Nassib had the best day of any quarterback. He said Nassib was on the mark early on, had good zip and placement on out routes. He said Nassib was confident, had good anticipation, and was competing. In 7 on 7 drills, it says he did a good job looking off the one-high safety. Overall he said no one REALLY stood out, but Nassib had the best day overall. Here's the link for anyone else with Insider: http://insider.espn....ice-notes-day-1 I read about 5 different reviews of the practice and they pretty much all said the same thing. None of the three looked great, Nassib looked the best of the three. The worrisome part to me (although not at all unexpected) was that Nassib played exactly as his scouting report reads. Smart, quick release, strong arm, a lot of zip on intermediate passes, sometimes tries to force ball into tight windows (I don't personally mind that about him), struggles with accuracy and touch on the long ball. The last one is a big issue. It's something that can be learned, but right now it's a big issue.
Punch Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 At Senior Bowl weigh-in circus, all that matters are the numbers: http://sportsillustr.../#ixzz2Ie10Zriw How has Nassib jumped into the national conversation at QB? From the sounds of it, Nassib at 8 won't be considered a "reach" by the pundits--- not that the opinions of pundits means much: West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith didn't do enough this season to differentiate himself from NC State's Mike Glennon, Oklahoma's Landry Jones or Syracuse's Ryan Nassib. Those three are all here, and they might vault themselves past Smith with a good showing.

These media guys are desperate for QBs to talk up and you can tell that they have hurt feelings over Smith not going to the Senior Bowl. Any GM taking Glennon, Jones or Nassib over Geno Smith should have their head examined. Geno Smith has the combination of a real NFL arm and real NFL speed and athletic ability. While Smith's no where near the grade of an RGIII, he's clearly the best "franchise" QB prospect in this class. Nassib has a low ceiling and I'd be surprised if any team picks him in the first round. He looks like a 3rd or 4th round QB prospect to me.

NewEra Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Any videos from practice? I'm in Ny visiting my mother for 2 weeks.....and she doesn't have the nfl network. Grrrrrrrr. Anyone watch Manuel? His inconstancy scares me BIGtime, but he has the most tools of any QB in the draft IMO. If we pass on a QB in round 1, I wouldn't mind adding him in round 2. One thing I want to draft, is a QB that can tuck and run for the first is the play breaks down. I think it's beyond important in today's league and a must have going forward. Sure, traditional pocket passers like Brees, Brady and manning rarely run for a first, but I don't see any of these QBs turning into those guys. Quick feet and running for a first on 3rd and long takes the life out of a defense. We see it happen against us every game.
KeisterHollow Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Nassib just had an under thrown deep ball that would have gone for 6. Receiver beat his man off the line badly and had to stop and wait for the ball allowing the DB to recover and knock it away at the goal line. Keep an eye on Nassib and underthrowing - or making his WR's turn their bodies to adjust, and pull back, to underthrown - or behind thrown - balls. I saw it a lot when watching his games this year.
zow2 Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Tyler Wilson has very small hands (8 5/8"), compared to EJ Manuel (10 1/8"), Ryan Nassib (10"), Glennon (9 3/8") and Jones (9"). Teams want a guy whose hand measures at least 9 1/2 inches from the tip of the thumb to the tip of the little finger. As an example, Russell Wilson's hands (10 1/4") give him the ability to really spin the ball, despite his height disadvantage. Hmm, so i guess my 8" hands rule me out of the NFL draft, huh?!? Russell Wilson and Tyler Wilson both have freakishly sized hands. One for the good one for the bad.
1billsfan Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Found a very cool in-depth site. This article is about the North QBs monday practice... http://TheSidelineView.com/columns/caplans-nfl-corner/senior-bowl-north-quarterbacks-monday
Mango Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 I am watching today Trufant and Poyer look like solid physical DB's. I'm impressed with the WR out of Syracuse,Lemon. Physical, nice size, and good hands. Pretty underwhelmed by the QB play so far. Nassib had an ugly pick on a button hook. Nowhere near his WR. His timing seems to be poor

Na....nothing good.....NFLN had an hour special..........just showed mayock and crew sitting at podium for 45 mins........with scattered highlights. nothing worth seeing yet IMO.

Mango Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 A couple of good d line men. Fischer and Quennsberry(?) seem to be cream of the crop for o line. I wouldn't mind grabbing Fischer in the first. His timing with a WR at a post season all star game practice? Or his overall timing as a QB in general? A little but of both. He misfired on a 5 yard route by 10 yards.
buffaloboyinATL Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Hmm, so i guess my 8" hands rule me out of the NFL draft, huh?!? Might not help you much with the ladies either.

He looks like a 3rd or 4th round QB prospect to me. agree 100% on Smith, He's the best in this class but that's Romo good not Rodgers good,- I've watched 4 videos of Nassib USC, Rutgers, Northwestern , and Missouri, I thought he looked horrid playing USC and Rutgers, average against Northwestern and OK vs Missouri .
JPS Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 WR Tavaris King is a Bill. Played 56 games at Georgia and looks like the best WR in the South practice. Good routes. Good hands. Not huge guy though. Is it even worth looking at the North practices with Magoo at the helm?
Punch Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Is it noteworthy that the Buffalo Bills official twitter account retweeted this link from Bills employee John Murphy, which is an article on the official Buffalo Bills website quoting Nassib at the Senior Bowl? Buffalo Bills @buffalobills RT @johnmurphyshow: Nassib on Buffalo: "A match made in heaven" http://wp.me/plmrg-7jt Maybe it's just due diligence: Buffalo Bills @buffalobills Mike Glennon on Bills, Senior Bowl http://ow.ly/2upH9n

Not huge guy though. Is it even worth looking at the North practices with Magoo at the helm? At the risk of challenging you to at least question your never-ending crusade against Buddy Nix, you may want to look before you leap. North & South are merely the teams...it hasn't much to do with where you went to school, otherwise how would Alex Okafor of Texas and Margus Hunt of Southern Methodist be on the North squad while OL JC Tretter from Cornell is on the South? Secondly, I know there's this whole "Nix only drafts SEC players" thing going around here, but it's actually not true. Observe: 2010 Spiller - ACC Troup - Conf. USA Carrington - Sun Belt Easley - Big East Ed Want - ACC Arthur Moats - Colonial Danny Batten - Great West Levi Brown - Sun Belt Kyle Calloway - Big 10 2011 Marcell Dareus - SEC Aaron Williams - Big 12 Kelvin Sheppard - SEC DaNorris Searcy - ACC Chris Hairson - ACC Johnny White - ACC Chris White - SEC Justin Rodgers - A-10 2012 Stephon Gilmore - SEC Cordy Glenn - SEC TJ Graham - ACC Nigel Bradham - ACC Ron Brooks - SEC Zebrie Sanders - ACC Tank Carder - Big 12 Mark Asper - Pac 12 John Potter - MAC I actually wish we picked more players from the SEC, as they seem to have the best players in the country in that conference. Lastly, it's okay to just call him Buddy, you don't have to insult the guy just because you don't think he's done well at his job. Odds are, if you've been in your job long enough, there are people that think you're lousy at it as well. Whether they're right or wrong, it's still not justified for them to call you something they wouldn't say to your face, is it?
NewEra Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Agreed...I would like to invite the teams that Draft from 1-7 to please consider taking another QB ahead of Geno...Please, please, please... Thank you... Me too. I like him the best. In another draft class he's hoping to be the 3rd or 4th best QB. In this class, I believe he's the best. I really hope that he falls to us.
