Here's a suggestion for you if you watch the Senior Bowl - or any of the other college all-star games.

Since the outcome does not matter at all and since you will see highlight clips of every skill player ad nauseum until the draft, don't watch the ball in these kinds of games.

Watch the linemen on the OL and the DL.

Watch the fullback as he blocks.

Watch the tight ends to see if they could block your grandmother or if they are always looking to release and get down the field.

Watch linebackers play off blocks when the ballcarrier is not coming directly at them.

You'll learn a lot more about the "big uglies" - as Keith Jackson likes to call them - that way than you ever will by reading press clippings and press releases written by Athletic Department toadies.

Whenever you get a replay, watch someone other than the person you watched during the live play.
