There's no mistake. We've decided to make a change to the series title. Sort of like when the Dolphins changed the name of the stadium from Dolphins Stadium to Dolphin Stadium, before it became Sun Life Stadium. Next time we change the name of the series title, it'll probably AFLAC Winds.
Has some talent, needs to work hard every snap though. When I was at Shrine practices, coaches had to get on his case for lazily walking to the LOS and running routes lazily at times.
Love that you asked about Mario Harvey. I'm completely biased being a Marshall fan, but I think he has a place at the next level. Tough SOB.
I like Aldrick a lot. I think he mainly showed nerves at times in Orlando. Just wasn't sure how to carry himself, could kind of get down on himself. He showed those nerves during the game as well. But there were times he was so quick there was no way any of the DBs he faced were going to keep up with him, especially deep. Good player, especially if he shows some natural ability with punts when they visit with him. I don't agree with Reinebold about that 3rd or 4th round area, I think he's more the kind of role player I tagret in the 6th round or later. But I do believe Miami's interest in Aldrick is real. They seem to have interest in all of those June Jones/Jeff Reinebold kids. I'm staring at a top tier of WRs that includes A.J. Green, Julio Jones and, legitimately in my eyes, Leonard Hankerson. After that it gets real tough. I really like Randall Cobb, Denarius Moore and Edmond Gates. I feel like they should be the next group, but I'm torn on Jon Baldwin's membership to that group. He SHOULD be in there with them. He should. But there are personality issues with him, pretty big ones. I think overall I'd have to put him in there, separating him from guys like Titus Young and Greg Little who also have talent but have what I think are bigger personality issues. You have a third group of guys like Niles Paul, Torrey Smith and Jerrel Jernigan. Good players. Not sure if they'll be dynamic or not. Then two guys in Greg Little and Titus Young that are very talented in my eyes but also very questionable from a personality standpoint. Then you start to clean it up with the bottom of your draftables, role players you see making your roster like Greg Salas, Dwayne Harris, Austin Pettis, Tandon Doss, Aldrick Robinson, Ronald Johnson, Terrence Toliver, Armon Binns, maybe Tori Gurley. Then you get to priority free agents. Among them for me would be Derrell Johnson-Koulianos, Stephen Burton and Ricardo Lockette.
Seeing our needs are not 1-20 yard terrors that Bess and Marshall are, who best fits our WR needs no matter draft round?
It sounds like Boomer is being a bit pompous..... Also might want to reevaluate your opinion on how great Cam Newton is based off of his pro day workout.
I just assumed Darft was the British word for Draft. Like how you guys call guns rooty tooty point and shooties. And "Those things our overlords don't let us have"
I am not a Cam Fan. I didn't read Boomers analysis of him, but to me he is a personal risk and not going to be a consistent QB that can win through the air. He is raw, granted a possible high upside, but to me....... not a 1st round pick.
I think it is a combination of "daft" and "draft"? Like aggro or dog's bollocks? Draft #4 for the Ireland effort, so far he has been solid but he does not find playmakers.
I don't have any problems with Little's personality. He made an immature mistake <that he's been humbled by and grown from tremendously>...... however, his lapse in judgment doesn't have anything to do with his play on the field or dedication to the game. You don't get a tattoo that reads: "Hustle - he uses strength to lift everyone" if you don't mean it. I'm telling everyone right now that this kid will have an even bigger impact in the NFL after going through this b/c he's motivated like crazy to prove everyone wrong <b/c that's the kind of competitor he is>. All these BS rumors flying around about "dishonesty" & "character issues" are smoke screens b/c teams have now seen this beast in person and want him. It's the typical misinformation stuff this time of year. I live in Tar Heel country, and I've yet to hear anything troublesome about him character wise.
Where am I being pompous? Yeah - because I base everything on a pro day workout and not every game at Auburn and a handful of games at Junior College.
I read what was written: Hence me asking where I was pompous and laughing at the thought that the controlled environment of a pro day workout would somehow change my opinion of someone that was formed over the viewing of 18 games. Where was the aforementioned insight?
