PossibleCabbage Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I mean, I don't watch Ole Miss games on purpose, but perhaps he's just slow to process and plays tentatively? Or that writer was working on a deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lateral agility and overall explosiveness is poor for a safety. Excruciatingly conservative as a tackler in pursuit. Hesitates to not overrun his mark but then can’t make up for lost ground. Slow. -Via the Draft Network Swing and a miss there. Not necessarily. Dude can time well and still play slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Chauncey will be unless Adderley tests poorly (when he does test). 51 minutes ago, Jeezla said: 4.49 for Chauncey. Should be 1st safety off the board Feels good. That's right where I pegged him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything he might have just went from Undrafted to maybe the 6th round just on his speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But straight line speed is only 1 part of athleticism. And probably not the most important one either for a safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the perfect fit to man the slot for the Lions as a hybrid CB/S. If they don't fill that role in FA then I could totally see him being the Lions 2nd round pick.

He's a pile-watcher who only tackles if he's forced to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrry32 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 David Long ran a 4.47 40 today? That's a great time for him. I'm a huge fan of his game. Think he's a steal in the mid-rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can do a whole lot, but he also looks really soft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otg Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 3 hours ago, Jeezla said: Thornhill 44" vert There should be a combine slam dunk competition. It would never happen but I think it could be cool. Kind of like Pre Bowl event. A bit of a break from all the measurements in isolation. Something fun for kids who'd like to show off. Some things to demonstrate skills, safely, but more like a game. I don't know if you invite the top performers, performers above x threshold, or each team gets to invite y to participate. It's mostly for a change of pace and to have entertainment value, but it could still be informative. I want to see them play tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
