Bad Things Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 On his interview with Murph, he said that his first run at the combine was a 4.48, but hurt his heal at the end of the run. This apparently made his other runs slower. I'm wishing him nothing but the best... He sounds like a great guy. 1 1
LikeIGiveADarn Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 (edited) Fred Jackson of defense? ESPN Story So, after watching that, I REALLY want this kid to become our new Fred Jackson... Edited June 6, 2018 by LikeIGiveADarn

Taron Johnson is a lock imo as a 4th rd pick I would agree that Johnson is more of a lock than Gaines. That's why I said "maybe". Still with 3 locks leaves 2-3 more. I like hearing about some of these young "improbable" guys. It's good for the team. I'm waiting to see who ends up as the nickel.

He's the prototypical looks great in non-contact workouts player, who may have trouble once he starts getting hit harder than he has ever been hit before. Tackling a 200+ pound wideout isnt easy when your 180. Edited June 7, 2018 by MURPHD6

And alot of them get camp invites, while most 160, 170, 180" and 190 pound Wrs (and there are plenty those in college as well) do not. How oftten was he put up against 200+ recievers when you were watching him? Scouting reports say that he struggled against bigger Wrs. And what was he like in run support? The talent is a lot bigger in the NFL, so he better have amazing core strength and technique because its really easy to block a guy who's 180 at the NFL level; cracking special teams will be tough. And if his speed is average, bulking up could easily slow him down to below average. Correction, he's listed at 179. I have nothing against the kid, but he sounds like a more of a Practice squad candidate. And for the record Darby is listed at 5'11 193. 13 pounds heavier and 1 inch shorter makes alot of difference in terms of body mass index. Edited June 7, 2018 by MURPHD6
JMF2006 Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 The kid walked on at Bama and made the team don't count him out.

Thurman#1 Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) 16 hours ago, Commonsense said: Jalen Mills is the same height and has the same thin waist as Levi. Mills ran a 4.61 at the combine but ran a 4.48 at his pro day. Levi is comparable to Mills and Mills has very similar size and combines with our own Poyer. Confused yet!? I am. Me too, and there's more. NFLDraftScout sez this about Wallace: "No Full Workout-Heel on 1st 40/Affected his 40 Yard Dash Times," and they listed his fastest 40 time as 4.45. EDIT: I see others have already posted it. But worth noting the 4.45 they list. Edited June 7, 2018 by Thurman#1

Wallace played against the best college players in the land. It's not as if he played D3 ball. He's fundamentally sound which is why is nickname is "the technician". A walk on starter at Alabama is exceedingly rare. Edited June 7, 2018 by Sky Diver

It always bothers me that a few days of combine can be so much more important that 2 or 3 years of game film. 55 minutes ago, Sky Diver said: Big, strong WR's are tough for any CB to defend.

Heavy zone, cover 3 defenses don't rely on speed on the outside as much, and often times have their eyes in the backfield. Jumping routes is key for this defense. It's part of why a guy like NRC had some success earlier in his career. Granted it wasn't the same defense, but good pressure up front, forcing the ball out faster, and DBs eyes in the backfield. Instincts trump speed with CBs in this defense IMO. Edited June 7, 2018 by Drunken Pygmy Goat 1
Doc Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 It's definitely good to hear that he ran a 4.45 and that he had a heel injury. And as for Sherman, I believe he was recovering from some injury when he ran at the Combine as well.

He'll likely have to play Special Teams to make the squad then. Dbs have started at his size before. But this regime seems to be placing an emphasis on size.
