Hill is an unconventional WR. He was clueless on patterns when he entered the league. But his magic is that he can turn any reception into a broken play. That can't be duplicated.
When I watched Walker play, he lined up more at the 5 tech or 4 tech.
I watched a couple of "break downs" looks like Georgia used a hybrid type of defense similar to what Wade did.
I watched both Alabama games and the Michigan game 4 or 5 times each. Rewinding and reviewing each play 2 to 4 times. Alot of players I wanted to review. I also watched Jimbo's Natty coverage twice. What I saw was the DL would stunt from time to time. Walker would primarily use speed to power and with those long arms and he would leverage LT back to the QB and could disengage to protect the edge. Walker would also lock up the LT to allow Georgia's stable of speedy All-Star LBs to blitz and rush the passer. Walker was not used as an edge rusher per se. Primarily Walker was lined up on the inside shoulder of the OT(4 tech) about 40% of the time and the outside shoulder about 60% of the time (5 tech). On many passing downs he moved inside lined up in the A or B gap. Nakobe Dean was responsible for calling the defense.
Where did you access his high school tape,hudl?
I know you like Charles Cross, and although I think he is the best pass-blocking OT in the draft, he isn't a very good run blocker. Do you really think he will fit with the Texans power run scheme Pep supposedly likes to run?
Now how do you know that? You are quoting a myth perpetrated by Leach's air raid offense. If you watch enough game video, you can see Cross is very good in the run game and can be quite nasty. If he can keep powerful DE from bull rushing him back into the QB he can push those same DE out the way and open the gap for the RB. With his great athletically ability and excellent footwork he can seal off the backside better than most.
to be honest, I'm going by all of the reports I've read about him.
Understand, much of that is assumed because he plays in a Mike Leach offense. Many of those talking heads are just regurgitating bad information they picked up from someone else.
I'll check it out
I watched that one, as well as his play against, LSU, NC St, Texas A&M, and a couple others, and I've come away even less impressed. He holds way too often. He got away with a lot of holds because the refs let them play. On one play, when he got beat, he almost had the defender wrapped up in a headlock. His left arm was wrapped around the defender's throat, but it still wasn't called. He has good feet, but he has a long way to go. I'll pass.
I don’t know if I’d take Corral, but I can see why you went there. My hope is to build a solid foundation and then draft a QB next year if Mills doesn’t work out.
I like your trade better with 3rd this year #89.
I did it this way because if I were the Bills I wouldn’t want to trade Both a 2nd and 3rd in this years draft. I’d want it spaced out
I was just playing around to see what could happen but with those two trades, it could load up the Texans with 10 new starters in the first 4 rounds.
I'd jump all over the NO trade; gives me everything I want this year. At 13 I'd take an Edge, maybe Jermaine Johnson. At 16 I'd take my OG, Green. At 19 I'd maybe take a CB, maybe Kairi Elam. At 37 I'd take a WR, maybe Alec Pierce or Skyy Moore. At 49 I'd take my second OG, Jamaree Salyer or Darian Kinnard. At 68 I'd take my second CB, maybe Alontae Taylor. And at 80 I'd take a RB, maybe James Cook. And at 108, safety Nick Cross.

To me, higher ypc & more carries is a point for Hall.
wiggle means half a man. When you watch hall, he comes downhill,but he has enough wiggle to get guys off balance and run through arm tackles. Zamir comes down hill and he's more straight ahead. In college,thats cool,but in nfl, you find out those guys will bring you to the ground with force. White reminds me of Carlos Hyde for some reason.
Honestly no, but at same time question his vision and patience. Not to demean the prospect just what I see.
I understand the First Look at stats and how people go WOW Hall is a much better back than Zeus. 1457 yds vs 856 yds. However, when you do some homework and a little math you learn this is not necessarily the case. Look at the game logs for why Hall has only a marginal % lead over Zeus. Had Hall played an SEC schedule his YPC and total rushing yards would be down considerably based on the Top 20 defenses he faces. Had Zeus played as many Weak Sisters, Zeus's production would've been considerably more. Georgia has a stable of very good RBs. Zeus has fresher legs.
Um, I don't see any culture picks for Jack. You know there will be some.
I don't think Lovie considers Jack as part of his staff. And I imagine that Lovie made that crystal clear with Cal when he accepted the job. No headphones for Jack.
That would be so great, if true. But we know Jack will gets his picks.
I do believe you're a victim of a draft week smear here.
If you were to put Breece Hall in a Georgia Bulldogs uniform and Zamir White in an Iowa State Cyclones uniform, Zeus would have the superior rushing numbers.
Not against SEC defenses and ALA X2, MICH and CLEM. In the Big 12, Defense is almost extinct. And the 2 or 3 good defenses in the BIG 12 Hall faced he did not fare so well.
