Ras-I Dowling's pro day

Pretty damn good measureables. You could say, almost Patrick Peterson-like. :D
Next year I need to get silent in the off season leading up to the Draft. It'd be interesting to see how my pet cats are talked about without my blabbermouth ruining things.

:laugh2:

I like Peterson, I've just kind of given up hope of landing him.

It's almost like dreaming Dez will drop down to 2... wait a minute.

I know you don't agree, that's why I said it.

And for the record, Nebraska doesn't press in general just like Virginia tends to play zone. Doesn't mean Ras-I can't play man and it doesn't mean Prince can't press.
He may be able to play man but his strength is zone. I can only go off what I see and if I don't players do the things I think the need to do to play for my team then I don't want them. Nebraska might not press Jam meaning Prince has never done it. Why should I think he can just all of a sudden can do it. Its safer to say he can't than to just say well he might be able to and draft him any way.
 
I see him more as a FS in our scheme.

You do realize you're not an actual scout, right... :laugh2:

Ware had never played 3-4 OLB before, I guess you wouldn't have drafted him either?

Oh like I am really capable of shutting up.
 
supercowboy8;3898587 said:
why do you think he will excel. If you watch him play, the scheme he is in is zone most of the time.

I saw almost every game of Ras-I's career, and the assertion that he played zone "most of the time" just isn't true. Dowling was singled up more often than not.

I think he'll excel in the pros because he has tremendous physical gifts and was productive in college. I think he'd make a heck of a FS, with the size and speed to man up. But he can play corner too.

I was gonna say the same thing. ;)
J/K, you know you're basically the fuel that runs this board. Without you and SDogo's inside info/opinions it wouldn't be the same. BTW, have you ever figured out how many posts/day you average? I mean, over 95,000 posts! That's insane.

P.S.
No to trading up. :D
 
I'm hearing a lot of people saying he is a better player then Chris Cooke

If you look at anyone's profle page it tells you how many posts per day they average. I think I'm around 35 per day.

If I were to shut up though after a few days no one would notice. That is the beauty of this forum. It drives itself. I'm just a blabbermouth with a hobby and a lot of free time.

It would be noticable as a search for 'Patrick Peterson' would yield a 36% decrease in recent search results. :D

I could pimp you too for the right price. You see the results. I am good.

Would love to get this guy in the 3rd if he's still there.

Not me, and I'm a UVa fan...

Dude is pretty fragile...

They aren't just blowing smoke.

Dowling could be best in the draft. All rides on his health. I've already discussed my opinions of his health at length, however.
