Terence Newman ranked the 21st CB in the league.

[AdamJT13]

Despite the date at the top, those rankings were made BEFORE THE 2005 SEASON.

2006 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc.
Grade: 76 | Key
Alert: None

Comment:
Newman has excellent speed, burst and athleticism. He has a second gear to close on the ball and is very smooth in transition. He has fluid hips and great recovery skills. He is a prototype turn-and-run corner who has the ability to shut down No. 1 receivers. He showed significantly more consistency and confidence in 2005 than he had the previous season. He challenged receivers and trusted his makeup speed. He has a smooth, quick plant-and-drive and closes on the ball faster than most corners. He has good ball skills and can contribute on punt returns. Newman isn't big or physical, especially against the run. He is a somewhat inconsistent open-field tackler, despite his athleticism. His technique can be a little sloppy. He sometimes relies too heavily on his tools and takes false steps or makes mistake. His durability is a little questionable. He seemed hesitant in '04 and was beaten on too many vertical routes for a player of his caliber.
---------

According to the key, a 76 grade means he's a solid starter.

That sounds fair. Do you think DeAngelo Hall is that much better than TNew though? Lame.

 

[WoodysGirl]

you need ESPNinsider to read the scouting report and i got this from another forum.

I've got insider.

You sir, are correct...as usual

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

ESPN Insiders make me laugh, majority of them NEVER played the game at a high level....

you need to learn how to read they started the rating in 20004 up until NOW 2007!! Look at Ty Law's name, it states that he play for the Chiefs which was only LAST SEASON. This is updated, please read carefully.

But the actual scouting report itself for Newman is seemingly referring to Newman's 2004 season as the basis of its report, while noting there was improvement in 2005. But there was nothing which actually mentioned 2006.

With Scouts Inc, you just gotta take them with a grain of salt as you would any other article about a player.

 

[AdamJT13]

correct, if you read the first paragraph this was based off the '04 season.

No, the paragraph at the top says it was "heading into the 2004 season." The rankings were first done before 2004, then updated before 2005. While the scouting reports have been updated since then, the numerical rankings have not for a lot of players. And they don't match the numbers they gave the same players before free agency started.

By the way, according to their rankings, Tony Parrish is the eighth-best safety in the NFL.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

"Questionable durability"....

Newman has started every single game for the last four years... Meaning every single game he's been in the league.

 

[zrinkill]

Good ....... this will make it easier to sign him in 2 years.

Can you post a link so we can see the whole list?

And he is not correct it says heading into the 2004 season.

It is Cb's from the 04 to the 06 season. Which is why for Dre Bly (14) it says DEN, and for Woodson it says GNB. They haven't updated Nate Clements yet. But these are UPDATED!

 

[baj1dallas]

that list is a total joke

David

well....two years ago it would have been pretty accurate.

They seem to be grading him based on his play in 2005...

As if playing the game at a high level is required to have a great knowledge of the game.....

It automatically updates the player's team. But the rankings are NOT current.

Some other rankings --

-- As I said earlier, they have Tony Parrish ranked eighth at safety.

-- They have Asante Samuel 27th at cornerback. They have Ahmad Carroll (cut by Green Bay) 36th, ahead of Nnamdi Asomugha (a Pro Bowl alternate) and Anthony Henry.

-- They have Colombo ranked 80th at tackle, behind Torrin Tucker, Rob Petitti and a bunch of other marginal backups.

-- They have Kyle Kosier rated as a tackle (ranked 100th) and Andre Gurode rated as a guard (29th). Kris Dielman, a first alternate this season, is ranked 82nd at guard.

-- Detroit's Roy Williams is rated 43rd at receiver, behind such players as Roddy White, Tyrone Calico and Robert Ferguson.

-- Romo is 46th at quarterback, behind guys like Josh McCown, Kyle Orton, Aaron Brooks, Mike McMahon, Jay Fiedler, AJ Feeley and Ken Dorsey. Romo and Drew Henson have the same rating.

-- Frank Gore is 59th at running back, behind guys such as Jim Finn, Alan Ricard, Travis Minor and Brad Hoover.

Should I go on, or is it already apparent that these are not current rankings?
