"I had a conversation with Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Scott Linehan," said Paul Allen, Vikings Radio Play-by-Play.

"Scott had him at the senior bowl and Scott leveled with me. I've known Scott for years and he said I'm going to level with you. I had no idea who he was when I arrived in Mobile and then I saw this big looking kid, who's mobile and can move, roll into the senior bowl and Scott was blown away."

Wentz. Or. Riot.

Linehan.....

All for Wentz, won't make it past Cleveland.

The Browns might actually get a decent qb

I want him in dallas so bad, I just don't see it happening though. He will be gone to root in Cleveland. Poor kid.

So... scott Lineman didn't know who Wentz even was? Am I reading that correctly? Wow.

I don't find that odd. These coaches are all into their jobs. They really don't come out or surface much during the football season.

There's a story going around that Nick Saban and another coach were in a restaurant talking football. They didn't even know the place was being robbed they were so into their discussion. Someone had to tell him later.

Convenient alibi for Saban

A year ago I asked the Cardinals CB coach Kevin Ross what he thought about my former player Damarious Randall, who played at Arizona State. Ross had no clue who he was. I wondered how he could not know a DB who plays right down the road from the Cardinals. He said coaches don't start looking at college players until the week before the Combine.

So Linehan was blown away by the kid being big and mobile? Maybe we should try him at TE?

That's why teams employ scouts.

I get that and it makes sense. What it taught me is that the coaches are basically focused on stuff even after the season is over. Self-evaluations, free agency, and then draft prospects.

My comment was pretty innocent. It wasn't directed at you or any perceptions from me of a lack of knowledge on your part. I was really only piggybacking on your astute observation.

I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment.

Riot it is.

And that's also why I laugh when I read our fans talking about our coordinators making draft picks.
