what are they gonna be doing today through Friday the 40 yard dash and that stuff?

I don't have the NFL network.


no, the work outs don't begin till saturday.

I think today is the check in, tomorrow will likely be measurements and interviews. Friday will likely be the same, then saturday the actual workouts begin

i think the combine is great for players who dont have much on film.....however, I think it is stupid to drop a player who has 3-4 years worth of impressive play, because they dont do so hot at the combine. I also think it is dumb to increase a so-so player's value just cause he did awesome at the combine.

I think the 40 is dumb the way they do it. IMO, put the players in full pads with helmets and let them run the 40. I mean they will be dressed out in games. For that matter, run all drills in full pads. It makes the measurables more accurate.

The dude forgot the most important test of all at the combine. The Wonderlic test that measures a player's IQ. I enjoy reading which player scored the lowest and hope we draft them. I'd wager either Dexter McCluster or Jacoby Ford.:p:

Mccluster was an honour student through high school and his time at ole miss, so I don't know where the hell you get the notion he'll have the lowest wonderlic test......pretty dumb thing to say.

This year's Chris Johnson is C.J. Spiller.

He's gonna burn up that track with like a high 4.2 or low 4.3 and he's gonna slip because of durability issues. Hopefully he doesn't end up in our division.

Spiller still has a toe issue. And he's a tad slower than Ford on the track. Just the opposite on the field though.

Not sure how much longer the toe will be a problem.
