YoloinOhio Posted February 19, 2015 Author Posted February 19, 2015 Doug Whaley is supposed to meet with the media at the combine this afternoon, not sure what time. Just FYI.
YoloinOhio Posted February 19, 2015 Author Posted February 19, 2015 Meaningful/Meaningless hand size parade @BryanDFischer: Hand size for Mariota: 9 7/8 Winston: 9 3/8 Petty: 10 Hundley: 10.5 Mannion: 9
NoSaint Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Meaningful/Meaningless hand size parade @BryanDFischer: Hand size for Mariota: 9 7/8 Winston: 9 3/8 Petty: 10 Hundley: 10.5 Mannion: 9 on the fumble rates, what change in PSI equates to a 1/8" change in hand size?
thebandit27 Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Looks like we have official numbers: http://walterfootball.com/combine2015QB.php http://walterfootball.com/combine2015RB.php http://walterfootball.com/combine2015WR.php Notables (IMO): - Good to see the "2nd tier" QBs (Hundley, Petty, Grayson) passing the size test, as all came in at or above 6'2", and all had at least 10" hands - Disappointed in Brandon Bridge's hand size; some of you know he's my ideal guy as a pet project 5th/6th round QB just based on athleticism and insane arm talent - Ameer Abdullah and Tevin Coleman have tiny hands; makes me leery of possible fumbling problems when they get to the NFL, and 245-lb LBs with no necks are punching at the ball every play - Tyler Varga and T.J. Yeldon look like bodybuilders (and in fact, Varga's parents are both fitness competitors) - How does Ty Montgomery struggle so badly with drops despite having 10" hands?
YoloinOhio Posted February 19, 2015 Author Posted February 19, 2015 If Yeldon runs fast at that size, watch out. He's taller and heavier than Gurley.
BuffaloHokie13 Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 If Yeldon runs fast at that size, watch out. He's taller and heavier than Gurley. With those 'bama RB's it's all about vision. They're all physically gifted, but they're also used to hitting holes a mack truck could drive through.
thebandit27 Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 If Yeldon runs fast at that size, watch out. He's taller and heavier than Gurley. I think Yeldon will be a 4.6 guy, which really shouldn't hurt him that much...I'm looking at Baltimore in round 2, given that he played at Alabama (you know Ozzie Newsome and his Tide guys) and they need a RB (even if Forsett does re-sign).

BuffaloHokie13 Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 i don't really see that issue with Bama RBs in general. Do you just refer to Trent Richardson? Richardson mostly, Ingram is only now starting to come to form, Lacy looks solid though

NoSaint Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 @buffalobills: Whaley: "By sheer numbers we're going to add at least two quarterbacks." http://t.co/kyRCmAnihx kind of a given, as they werent walking into camp with just 2. almost every team rolls in with 4 arms. now itll be a matter of what makes up those two... the real mystery (and is EJ one of the 4)
Formerly Allan in MD Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 @buffalobills: Whaley: "By sheer numbers we're going to add at least two quarterbacks." http://t.co/kyRCmAnihx Sounds good.
YoloinOhio Posted February 19, 2015 Author Posted February 19, 2015 CollegeFootball 24/7 @NFL_CFB 50s50 seconds ago Scherff says his 1-rep max in hang clean is 480 lbs!! Here's video of him doing 3 reps of 443: http://bit.ly/1Dx800Y
Sojourner Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 I hope Clive Warford has a poor showing tomorrow, slightly taking a dent in his draft stock - allowing us to have a better chance at getting him. Man, the more I see of this kid, the more I love him!

Man, the more I see of this kid, the more I love him!hes the whole package. Good blocker already as well. He's almost 24, whereas as Williams is only 20... But Williams is more raw as a blocker and may not contribute as immediately.

Man, the more I see of this kid, the more I love him! Unless he shows up out of shape or has a previously unknown medical concern, his combine performance won't hurt a player's stock in the draft. Great performances can certainly raise a player's stock somewhat, though. The book on Walford has already been written based on what he did at Miami. I wouldn't mind a chance to get him, but I'd be surprised if he lasted until the 50th pick. GO BILLS!!!

I just don't know long he's going to last with the premium that is placed on the tight end position now. For his size? He's got some great agility.
