Let's talk all things NFL Combine here

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Combine Thread
 

I suspect the most important combine discussion topic will end up being RG3's measurements. I hope he's at least 6'1 and change.

I wanna see RTs forty time and I'd also like to see blackmon run

I doubt you'll see Ryan Tannehill's 40 time given that he is only going through the interview process, as far as I am aware.

When does it air on nfl network?

The on field drills are Saturday to Tuesday and that's all televised on NFL Network. I think tomorrow and Friday is the off the field stuff like interviews, measurements, weight lifting, tests. Not sure how much of that stuff they will cover live.

Watching people take the Wonderlic is must-see tv. :)

You know some football heads would watch anything they put live on NFL Network. Now on NFL Network! Live 24/7 coverage of a still frame of an NFL licensed football on the 50 yard line. Higher ratings than Survivor 37.

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Combine Thread
 

I'm looking forward to seeing how Blackmon does this week. Gonna have a big impact on the top of draft.

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Combine Thread
 

Same, wouldn't mind seeing us take him at 6

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Combine Thread
 

SS, you heard anybody we want to see combine numbers on specifically?

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Combine Thread
 

No. Not really

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Combine Thread
 

Yeah, think ill post my annual "how the combine is way over-hyped" rant, but think the medical stuff and the interviews can be pretty valuable.

So I guess he's not running now

Do you guys seriously sit around and watch the combine? To me it's unwatchable.

Only when it was Tim Tebow's turn. LOL. I don't watch all of it but I like seeing some of the skill position drills.

[QUOTE=skinsfan69;887788]Do you guys seriously sit around and watch the combine? To me it's unwatchable.[/QUOTE]

I watch the QBs and WRs

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Combine Thread
 

The biggest part of the combine is really all the discussion that takes place among teams and agents. In fact, in many ways the combine is as much about trades/free agency as it is the drat

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Combine Thread
 

^ So you should walk away from this weekend with amazingly good intel then, correct?

Eh, we'll see. I'm not as close to the action as in previous years

[quote=skinsfan69;887788]Do you guys seriously sit around and watch the combine? To me it's unwatchable.[/quote]

Ha, Ha, I'll turn to it and watch maybe a half dozen kids jump straight up then change the channel, I'll turn back to watch a half dozen kids broad jump and change the channel, I'll turn back to see a half dozen kids run their 40 and change the channel, I'll turn back to see the QB's go through maybe two or three different types of throws and change the channel, then turn back to see the WR's and TE's make several different types of catches and change the channel, then I'll turn back to see the cone drills and again get bored and change the channel.

I don't know how people sit there and just watch everything. My favorite time is about 2 weeks after the Combine when all the draft magazines start coming out. Then the draft.

I like the daily recaps on NFLN but I usually don't watch it live.

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Combine Thread
 

combine is like the PB, you watch for a few mins here and there but not really into it

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Combine Thread
 

[quote=skinsfan69;887788]Do you guys seriously sit around and watch the combine? To me it's unwatchable.[/quote]

Yes, I watch it. I DVR it and skim through each days workouts. Sunday with the offensive skill players is the most enjoyable part as far as what you are seeing on the field. And even if the actual combine drill is not that interesting you still have hours of Mike Mayock in the background giving his opinion on each player that comes on the screen.

Is it among the most riveting sports programming of the year? No...but for the end of February it's more interesting to me then most of what's on the tube.

I like this list

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Combine Thread
 

I enjoy the combine although I don't watch all the events.
I would like it more if the NFL network would show [I][B]all[/B][/I] of the QBs throws (or at least the top QBs).
They're only making around 21 throws I don't think its too much to ask to get to watch them all?

If I know we're planning on drafting a certain position like rush OLB I like to watch that position group.
This year I'm gonna watch the Safeties in addition to the QBs.

If Luck, Griffin and Tannehill don't throw I wonder which QB is gonna steal the show?

My money is on Russell Wilson overall and Nick Foles in arm talent.
I think Foles and Osweiler are gonna flash big time arm talent that it could solidify Foles status as a 2nd round pick and may push Brock into the 3rd round.

I like it too! Wish Luck was on there. Brockers is gonna blow people away at the combine and be a top 10 pick.

If no Luck and no RGIII, then trade down get DeCastro and Tannehill, then other needs.

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Combine Thread
 

Is there a schedule to when they are doing each position?

I watch it here and there; I definitely don't pop a tub of popcorn and park myself in front of it all day.

It is amazing how far coverage of the NFL has come; there was a time when I lived in RI and the only way I knew the Redskins score was by the ticker at the bottom of the Patriots game and they only ran the ticker like once a quarter.

That will be something to see and if he doesnt will really change things. Unfortunately he's not going to throw (only run) which IMO raises a red flag.

Blackmon's speed will also be a big issue because he's not very tall.

Well he'd rather just throw in a controlled environment to receivers he's familiar with

And I thought I heard Blackmon isn't running

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Combine Thread
 

Funny, fans get all riled up every year about so and so not throwing. Has it ever hurt someone's draft stock? Even Cam's crappy throwing display at the combine didn't hurt him.

This is the 2nd time this off-season the Redskins have requested time with Brockers (for the life of me, I can't remember when was the first time but I know it happened. Unless the first time was also for the combine?)

Anyhow, this could mean a few things:

-Due diligence

-Legitimate interest

-Getting some intel on his teammate Morris Claiborne (whose position coach at LSU just took the same job with the Bucs incidentally)

True but if it hasnt hurt anyone's stock why isnt he throwing? I would think a running style QB like RGIII would be dying to show off his arm and accuracy because if he kicked butt he could vault himself to #1 overall.

kinda surprised we would have strong interest. We need serious serious help on offense. I mean our entire offense is bottom 5 in the league. Only exception would be Morris Claiborne at CB. So that makes the most sense.

I don't care whether they throw or not, but this makes me wonder why they don't.

maybe we have such interest in him because Jarvis's knee is worse than we thought...

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Combine Thread
 

Love for Peyton Manning to show up the combine and throw with the QBs. Shutting up all the hatters saying he cant throw right now.
