Veteran combine

[thunderpimp91]

You know, that's not a bad idea for a team to do: put the whole team through the combine workouts at the end of each season and compare the data over the years as players slow down (or speed up).

I would disagree, simply because I don't want a veteran player under contract obsessing over his technique on the 40. I would much rather them worry about the mechanics of route running, pass rush, etc. college kids have eat, breath, and slept combine drills for months now.

I love everything associated with the draft and the combine that goes with that....this mess? I can't imagine taking the time to put the NFL Network on to watch it....they are trying to fill up their 24/7 time slots IMO....it is interesting, but I can't imagine a lot of guys making it to 53-man rosters

I'm more interested in comparing their rookie combine measurables with their new ones.

This is where I believe this concept may find some future success. The closer those two sets of numbers are to each other, the better the chance that perhaps this concept may net some interest for the participants.

Agreed. There'll be resurrected careers because of this. It's interesting to think that maybe a guy who didn't have the athleticism to perform in the NFL could go work out and train for a couple years and come try again.

anyone excited about the veteran combine this weekend?

Would kick tires on DTs Carriker and Minter. And Silva is better than Heath, as a hitter and a ballhawk. And throw in Unga too, Cowboys love them FBs.

Johnny Patrick would be worth a look at corner, as would Marcus Forston or DaJohn Harris as 1T tackles.

Jamaal Anderson would also be interesting to look at as a LDE who can kick inside on passing downs. He was a top 10 pick - I have no idea why he failed so miserably.

I wonder if we take another look at Zach 'Flounder' Minter?
