Several picks in that mock don't make much sense at all:
1. Miami - Matt Ryan - not sure on this, the new staff may want to bring in their own QB and a QB is most worth the money, but they did just spend a 2nd round pick on John Beck last year and have an aging defense so it wouldn't surprise...
I don't know that I'd recognize him if I did see him. As for McKinney and Hodgdon, McKinney worked exclusively at backup C in the practices I saw and Hodgdon was a backup OG.
In the couple practices I saw Salaam was always the LT with the 1st team offense, Black seemed to always be in with the 2nd team. Maybe they have split some time or something, but FWIW every rep I saw had Salaam above Black.
OTAs are closed to the public, but if you know people that work there they can get you in as a guest, and luckily I've gotten to catch a few of the early practices each of the last couple years. I can't wait for training camp to see how things keep coming together and see what Brandon Harrison...
I plan on writing up a blog entry on the couple OTA practices I've been able to see sometime this week, and I'm hoping I'll be able to get off work and be able to get into one of the minicamp practices this week to see one more practice worth of progression out of the guys, but at this point I...
He's been fairly shaky but hasn't seen many reps from what I saw. He is a decent athlete with an ok arm but seems to be struggling with his timing, accuracy, and reading the field. I think he'll be a career-long backup/practice squad type of guy, he may stick around here on the practice squad...
I think the defensive staff was trying to find their identity for a lot of last year. I expect we'll see a little more of the blitzing and pressure that we saw later in the year, although hopefully our front 4 will be able to get good pressure on their own so we don't have to blitz too much.
I'm not aware of pulling a hamstring leading to scar tissue build-up that would require surgery. However, it definitely could lead to recurring problems down the road. Other than his broken foot that he suffered at the Pro Bowl after his rookie season, I'm not aware of him having any...
I'll second this motion. Even though we've spent so much on the DLine in the last couple years, we still don't have a real good DE opposite Mario and could probably use help elsewhere a little more. However, can you imagine Mario Williams rushing the passer off the weak side with Julius...
I don't know that I overly understand this potential signing. We brought in a pretty talented veteran last year in Eric Moulds to help mentor Andre and the other young WRs and take attention away from Andre (that much worked pretty well). Granted he had lost a step and couldn't get much...
It's not so much a problem that didn't heal in the last 5-6 months, he made it thru 4-5 days of OTAs just fine and then tweaked his hammy again. It is probably an injury that will spring up throughout his career, but it's not like it was a constant injury that was bothering him for the last 6...
I see Oakland at the bottom of the league again. Until I see what Kiffin brings to the table as a coach I'm not going to be too optimistic about his impact. I doubt JaMarcus Russell sees the field at all until the end of this season at the earliest, so I don't see him making any positive...
I don't think he can go on the PUP list since he is healthy right now and passed his offseason physical. If I remember the rules correctly, you have to fail that initial physical in order to be placed on PUP (why Domanick Davis/Williams couldn't be placed on PUP last year and only Wong and...
I'll throw out some predictions:
Pro Bowl:
Andre Johnson (really put himself on the map last year in terms of reputation, should have another monster year)
DeMeco Ryans (got gypped in the voting last year, should have another big year and hopefully has enough of a reputation to get in)...
I think that is the main difference between MB members' opinions on Joppru vs. Mathis. Joppru from all accounts was a model citizen and a hard worker that just happened to tear his knee and groin up, whereas Mathis in the problem has been known to have questionable work ethic, somewhat of an...
I heard that Mathis missed last week due to personal/family reasons of some sort and that after he initially tweaked his hammy this year (on the previous Thursday) that they expected him to be ready to go last week, but whatever issue with him came up and he missed the week. I guess he...
Agreed. Outside of Mario I don't recall us having any draft picks signed at this point last year. Many agents don't even begin negotiating contracts until at least mini camps and such are done. I would start worrying about anyone that isn't signed by the last week before training camp starts...
We might end up being able to add people in August when other teams cut their rosters down to 75 and then 53 players (remember we picked up Ron Dayne, Anthony Maddox, Thomas Johnson, Vonta Leach, and a few others at that point or later in the season).
The Texans don't hold open tryouts for just anyone to show up. If you are serious about getting a tryout, call their offices some time and ask to be transferred to their scouting department and talk to them about it and if they are interested enough they may call you in for a workout. I...
