    Fournette had a fine combine. It seems people have just mentally blocked out the definition of a good 40 for a power RB all of a sudden.

    His very was God awful. I'm not saying this means he's now a bad HB, but it wasn't a good combine.

    And his size combined with his 40 was borderline elite. So that averages out to "bad"?

  • @wargograw said:

    Yes. Yes. All I'm hearing here are reasons he'd be a great addition to our defense.

    Or to a season long suspension after attacking a gas station attendant.

    Get him a handler. Do what you've gotta do.

  • Fuck Foster. Sounds like an obnoxious asshole.

  • Garrett looks to be a bit stronger than Courtney Brown 33 to 29 but is a little slower 4.5 to 4.6 same with clowney actually. Pretty Good performance so far lets see the drills 🙂

    ehhh not the best footwork but not a huge concern. Allen had more precise footwork but was slower

    Hope everyone saw that linebacker drill from garrett worst of the day by far. i wonder if he has ever done it before >.<

  • The Freak is being a Freak. but noway them million $ ankle's is trip-in' on any blocking bag.. take the deductions for those scoring at home..C ya in a orange helmet

  • Garett is going to need to taught everything except rush it looks like.... i wonder if he can do ST?

    His footwork is so unnatural dropping back lol. Byran Cox looked very smooth. I can tell right now Henrickson* is an effort>athlete

    And that drill means absolutely nothing regards his ability as a running back.

  • Watching the LB/DL drills, and Charles Harris from U of Missouri looked really good. I don't know, nor do I care what the stop watch or tape measure said in other 'tests', but he sure passed the eye test in the drills...... Looked better than Garrett in many.

    yea, I said it

  • Garrett looked really unprepared/uncoordinated for those movement drills. I Really did not expect him to get the One Trick Pony label but I'll be damned. Clumsy Play.

    I liked Harris aswell Check out Cox jr. looked very smooth in space for his size

  • And OJ Howard ran as fast as Leonard Fournette especially considering he outweighed him by 10 pounds or so.

  • i gotta believe we are going to take atleast one TE this draft

    Good catch, been watching him for 20 minutes so far.

  • i wonder if the ball speeds are tracked anywhere

    Yes... they are measured at the Combine, but not "officially" by the NFL. Ourlads has done the honors in the past, but oddly NFL.com has cited their results.

    And 4.51 not bad for a guy 10-15 lbs over playing weight.

    No, it's not, but the question is why was he 10-15 pounds overweight at the fucking Combine??? And it wasn't "water-weight".

    Teams are going to want to know if Fournette is the next Eddie Lacy.

    @wargograw said:

    The question is has he ever been "cool" on the field?

    That's a different question...

    How often are you dropping him?

    As for ST... I have to dismiss that as pure trolling.

  • It was actually a reference to mingo being the next best pass rusher and then ending up playing mostly ST because he failed as a pass rusher.

    It's a negative not a huge one but a blemish nonetheless. Not being able to fall back isnt a big deal but it is something he will need to add to his toolbox

    Yep, I remember reading and hearing how great Mingo was on the edge. How explosive he was, and how he could dip his body and get to a lean angle like no other...... Yep, I remember that well.

  • Wow Tour you were right on Garrett jumping out of the combine building. 41 in. vert. and 10'8" broad jump.

    Solomon Thomas has improved his draft stock too. Gonna be a really good one. And I think KSU's Jordan Willis may have put himslef high in the 2nd.

    Can't lose something you don't have.

  • Garrett is doing pretty good at the combine he jumped higher than* Seth Devalve 😁

  • @mld-woody said:

    Fournette had a bad combine. Not just unimpressive.

    Peppers had 19 reps. Pretty good.

    Fournette had a fine combine. It seems people have just mentally blocked out the definition of a good 40 for a power RB all of a sudden.

    As Tour said why the extra weight? But in regards to the 40, if you watched them ghost Julio Jones against Ross' record 40 4.22 run, I'd guesstimate Fournett's 40 time against Adrian Peterson would be about three feet. Big deal.

    Of course the southern brother with a temper offends the Michigan fans pinky out sensibilities. You're gay.

    Haha, my bad. I forgot Aggies need to ride Bamas coattails still. "You're gay"... Genius.

    The guy pulled a "do you know who I am" and then threatened to fight a hospital worker. Sounds like an asshole.
