Official Senior Bowl game thread, 4 PM Eastern, NFL Network

[Clockwork Orange]

Better enjoy some football while you can. The long offseason is not too far away.

[PLOWHORSE]

Wow,,early but may as well get it started. Im recording it for future use and analysis.

[CHANGSTER]

Scoutin time!

[FADERPROOF]

Here's to Troy Smith having a good game, he needs this one.

[Clockwork Orange]

Mike Mayock just said that Adam Carriker made himself a lot of money this week.

[watermock]

Mediacom still doesn't carry it...so now NFL network is carrying a college game? I know it's to gauge NFL talent, but I didn't know they had stolen that too. If I didn't get three CBS stations and if Direct tv could even carry CBS, and because it's nice to have TV coupled with broadband...I've been reluctant. Even the lady that sells it doesn't have it for above reasons.

[cabronco]

For those of us with directv and HD, its shown on channel 95 in HD.

[69bronco]

after today okoye will be a top ten in the draft.

[cabronco]

Whats the over/under when Dicky V. starts crying.

[Clockwork Orange]

Okoye out there firing up the defense.

[Clockwork Orange]

Nice Cutler montage right there. :thumbs:

[cabronco]

Nice Cutler montage right there. :thumbs:

Oh Ya..too bad I missed last years senior bowl

[Clockwork Orange]

Patrick Willis gets everyone's attention on the opening kickoff.

[-Slap-]

Patrick Willis gets everyone's attention on the opening kickoff.

:)

[watermock]

Maybe Okoye will twist an ankle or something. Damn...I was hoping he would'nt stand out. He's my boy but he is no doubt rising. I allready knew we would have to move up some, but now...how much is too much?

[Clockwork Orange]

Troy Smith struggling early. First pass sailed on him and his second was nearly picked off.

[-Slap-]

The nice thing about the rules in this game is we'll get plenty of chances to see Willis in coverage on third down. That's supposed to be his weakness.

[Clockwork Orange]

Nice move by Hunt on the swing pass.

[Clockwork Orange]

Damn, Willis just got knocked backwards by Leonard.

In Willis' defense, he was partially engaged by a D-lineman.

[Clockwork Orange]

And Hunt shows great patience to pick his way into the end zone. Nice work by Hunt on the opening drive.

[-Slap-]

Damn, Willis just got knocked backwards by Leonard.

In Willis' defense, he was partially engaged by a D-lineman.

He wasn't impressive at all on that series and the entire South defensive line got manhandled down there.

[bap454]

Great posting guys!! Keep it up, Im at work and hanging on every word (post).

[Clockwork Orange]

Guess who? Okoye abuses Duckworth and sackls Chris Leak.

[69bronco]

okoye looks like a man against boys.

[ludo21]

Okoye!!!

please please shanny, bring him to DENVER!!

[SoCalBronco]

Okoye is raping.

[Clockwork Orange]

Troy Smith looks like he's settling in a bit.

[SoCalBronco]

Hunt stuffed, nice to see Merriweather in the mix around the ball on that play.

[ludo21]

I like how Smith always keeps his eyes downfield.

That is huge!

And Tony Hunt would be a nice addition in the 3rd or 4th

[SoCalBronco]

Smith needs to work on his accuracy.

[Clockwork Orange]

And as soon as I say that, Troy Smith throws a terrible pass that would have been intercepted had it not been such a poor throw.

[Clockwork Orange]

Hunt stuffed, nice to see Merriweather in the mix around the ball on that play.

He was stuffed, yet he still managed to get three yards. I like what I've seen out of him thus far.

[Clockwork Orange]

Sweet open field move by Leonard. He's made something happen both times he's touched the ball.

[ludo21]

Man, the more I see Hunt the more I want him.

I love his YAC, and he blocked well on that pass play.

[Clockwork Orange]

Hunt slips a tackle and turns the corner for a big gainer.

[-Slap-]

Man, Hunt is making himself some money today. Brian Leonard, too.

[SoCalBronco]

Crowder got in there quick. Just shoved the LT out of the way

[Clockwork Orange]

Crowder with a nice rush bats one down. Almost forced a fumble there.

[SoCalBronco]

Come on Kareem, where's that little extra burst to get the sack?

[SoCalBronco]

Crosby makes it easily.

[Clockwork Orange]

Crosby booms one through from 38 yards. :homer:

[watermock]

Great posting guys!! Keep it up, Im at work and hanging on every word (post).

How amusing a comment...That's what they get for making you work on college football's holy day. Unless your the boss of course.

[ludo21]

My guy from AZ is playing good D so far.

Cason, that guy is going to be a good pro.

[Broncos24]

Is this only shown on NFL Network? I dont have NFL Network.

[Clockwork Orange]

Nice job by Bowe to save an INT.

[Clockwork Orange]

Irons looked pretty shifty there.

[-Slap-]

Is this only shown on NFL Network? I dont have NFL Network.

Yes.

[Clockwork Orange]

Drew Stanton in at QB for the North.

[Clockwork Orange]

That might have been the worst play fake I've ever seen right there.

[TexanBob]

Troy Smith struggling early. First pass sailed on him and his second was nearly picked off.

Does he still have Ted Overrated Jr. to throw to?

[Clockwork Orange]

Sloppy tackling. I know it's rainy, but damn.

[Clockwork Orange]

Nice pursuit and tackle by Willis. His teammates should take notes, that's how you wrap up.

[ludo21]

is Carriker not playing or is he just invisible so far?

[-Slap-]

Horrible gaffe by Joe Staley. Got his QB murdered by an untouched rushman in a game where they don't allow blitzes.

[Clockwork Orange]

is Carriker not playing or is he just invisible so far?

Good question. I don't remember seeing him or hearing his name at all so far.

[Clockwork Orange]

Teriffic fade pass there by Stanton. The North is kicking a hole through the South right now.

[ludo21]

South better make this a game!!

Lets see if their OL can do anything this next drive.

[-Slap-]

is Carriker not playing or is he just invisible so far?

I saw him with a decent rush on the opening series, but not much since then.

[FloridaResident]

willis is a stud!!!!

[ludo21]

nice play by Merriewather.

And Griffin had that nice last play.

Palko looks decent, career backup

[cabronco]

The DT out of Miami #99 Brown frequently pushes his guy into the backfield. He looks pretty solid so far.

[ludo21]

Man, what the heck, no one can hold onto the ball.


Carriker seems to get pushed around easily. Okoye is still applying some pressure.

[That One Guy]

It kinda seems like the same guys who were playmakers during their seasons are still playmakers. Those who are physical specimens are still just physical specimens.

[youcandoit1687]

Is there a gamecenter for this, I can't find stats anywhere, I feel primitive.

[ludo21]

Carriker and Okoye on the pressure!

Carriker just turned on a burst i didnt know he had. Cool.

Another fumble, this is pathetic

[WABronco]

Jason Hill is a true sleeper. He's losing ground to all the underclassmen talent, but he's still a great prospect with starting potential...if not as a low-end no. 1 type prospect.

Take him in the third this year and I would almost guarantee that he'll be starting at sometime in '07.

In other news...

Quentin Moses has almost no pass rush repertoire, and he's easily neutralized. He looks similar to Chukwurah, physically.

Meriweather looks great...much more physical than I figured he would be.

Kenny Irons is just flatout too small. I've seen many games of his this past year and he doesn't show much in the way of tackle-breaking or tough running.

Tony Hunt has been very patient at times and runs with choppy steps inside and a lot of power. He clearly lacks long-speed, however. He's flashed some good hands in the passing game as well. A taller Rudi Johnson, possibly?

Tim Crowder looks more explosive than I remember, and I'm not sure if the Corey Redding comp fits anymore.

Tank Tyler and Kareem Brown both have tantalizing size and strength.

[Clockwork Orange]

Staley let's Moore go free and gets his QB hammered.

[-Slap-]

Staley let's Moore go free and gets his QB hammered.

He got Leak killed on an identical play in the second quarter. Moore was the guy who got the sack both times. Staley might be too dumb to play offense.

[SureShot]

I didn't see alot of Miami games this year, but I came away impressed by Meriweather's field awareness v. Colorado in Miami two years ago. He was all over the place.

[SpringStein]

Excellent analysis, WAB. All good points.

[Inkana7]

I like the sound of Merriweather and Hunt.

For those watching the game, who's the most impressive Defensive Lineman?

[ludo21]

Carriker and Okoye are most impressive for sure.

Patterson from OSU has been pretty disruptive too.

[-Slap-]

I like the sound of Merriweather and Hunt.

For those watching the game, who's the most impressive Defensive Lineman?

Jay Moore totally destroyed Joe Staley. Even the times when Staley remembered to block him.

[bpc]

I haven't had a chance to watch the game since I work on the weekends but I will.

Sounds like Okoye is having a great game. I still have seen him on film and am skeptical but I'm glad for him he is having a good game.

Tony Hunt also looked to have produced big and I've been a big J Hill fan.

I'll be getting the film in the mail and giving more perspective on the all-star game. Still, its hard to beat actual game tape especially on the Lines. I knew though going in, the south line was going to get hammered, especially at the tackle spots. They have a bunch of converted guards and Joe Staley out there. Sure enough, they got beat like drums.

Everybody keep me posted with your thoughts on the game.

Game is being replayed tonight at 1000 PM EST

Louisville Cardinals representin'

[SureShot]

Louisville Cardinals representin'

Even the Cheerleaders....Right?Ha!

[BroncoInferno]

Okoye probably worked himself into the top 10 with todays performace.

I loved Hunt and Leonard. Either player would make a fine 2nd round selection.

[BroncoBuff]

Mike Mayock just said that Adam Carriker made himself a lot of money this week.

Out of Bronco-Range for sure now, right?
