  • Don't we have daynes?  Was he not that great in college.  He looks to have some vision.

    Well there is a Dayes on the roster, but he does not exit for Hue even though he is a better back than the Crow. Crow must have some stuff on Huey or he's just not very smart.

  • As a Sooner fan watching a lot of Baker Mayfield.  Needs a good line but could be a late 1st round pick

    Has he tried using a credit card?

  • I don't watch NCAA -it's hard enough gor me to follow the NFL - so I don't have an eye for college players, but in some mock drafts they land RB Derrius Guice from LSU in the Browns. I think I haven't seen his name in this forum yet.

    What do you guys think about him?

    He's pretty fantastic. Will be interested to see his 40 time. 

  • I don't know if anyone else watched the Washington vs Washington State but that  d-lineman Vita Vea  I can't remember ever watching a game where one guy was just destroying an o-line that bad

    I didn't see it, but being a Pac 12 guy, I remember thinking the same thing about Danny Shelton and was super stoked when we selected him.......

    The ones I've seen stand out are Harrison Phillips from Stanford, and Hercules Mat'afa from Wash St. Both dominate the game. 

  • Having to drop Josh Adams quite a bit after watching through Miami, USC, Stanford, UGA and UNC.  

    -Pros    Size, decent pad level,  protects the ball, good pass pro, strength and patience.  

    -Cons  Late vision on pulls,  heavy feet, lateral agility is... so so,  explosion and top and are all quite mediocre.    Only seems to get the yards his line blocks for with the exception of a small handful of occassions. 

    Going to be knocking him down to day 3 at the moment.   Might ascend more with a better showing at the combine and being lighter on his feet.  

    Next up on the watch queue - Derrius Guice.

  • Guice - was a fun one to watch when his Oline wasn't just letting him make cuts in the backfield.      Ole Miss, Floriduh, A&M.  

    Pros - solid size.  Listed at 5'11 218.   I'd say he's playing around 210 with pads in season.    Good initial burst, good top end, lateral agility, wiggle in the hole, appears to find cutback lanes and creases well.    What I like most is his footwork during lateral cuts and his ability to maintain balance after contact.  Good pad level, lowers and runs behind them when taking on backers and safeties.  Nice hands and is reliable in the passing game when used as an outlet or in a few cases, as a primary receiver.  Reminded me of Steve Slaton on the zone stretch... minus the fumbling issues.    Finishes runs with contact but doesn't punish defenders like a "bigger" back.   So if that's what you're looking for here, just the north-south, hurt people kind of kind... you won't find it.       

    Cons - Patience.   I can't tell if it's him just trying to outplay his line or wanting to sprint right to the second level.  Often times on pulls he would be on his blockers butt and backfeet.  A few times he couldn't setup the defender off the blocker for a secondary move because he was too busy running into the pulling lineman.   A few times he ran counter pulls with great effectiveness but those appeared to be weakside.  If he's running to the strength he tends to get ahead of himself.     

    Again that might be just not trusting his line to do their job.   LSU's front is... not good.        I do credit their coaching staff for trying to find other ways to get him the ball.

    High 3rd MAYBE high 2nd round grade on him depending on health.  If he checks out well with the doctors and you want someone to take 15+ carries a game that has the eyes to do so, I would be very tempted here.  Especially considering our need for the backfield coupled with the cache' of 2nd round picks we have.    This far in advance would look to be a great pairing.

  • If we dont address DE in FA this year, i might be ok with getting phillips. Dude can bring power rush off the Left edge and garrett would be more the speed guy. He could also play DT no prob. In nascar packages we could bring him and nassib inside with garrett and maybe orchard, collins or another speed rusher we pick up. 

    And in run d? Oh my goodness phillips would be a stacking golem in the edge lanes. He's already pro powered. Dude gets any stronger and we're lookin at the next watt potentially

    Yeah. Some guy posted some tape of him. Could be a poor mans jj. Dude looks crazy strong.....those arms do not fold up. Not sure what his draft stock will be. Not suggesting we spendvthe houston pick on him but if ge's still there in the 2nd....

    Watched him vs K-State and then Washington.   Didn't bother after that.   1 gap interior plugger that will be a solid rotation guy.   Good strength but little else.   Aside from skin color about as far opposite Watt as you can get and he'll probably be a day 3 pick.

    I saw some tape of him coming off the edge and i like. When stanford was able to get him off on the tackles they had no shot 1v1. And he's not a super monster at 290. He could easily drop 5-10 and be a power DE. Dude lets no one get inside him. I saw him stack up two ol with one arm outstretched on each. I like a guy like that, desmond type DE's thst can 5 tech no problem. So im not necessarily homering for phillips specifically but a player like him. Like i said he could be a later round steal.

    I get where you're at and the type of player you're talking about bubs. Harrison just ain't that guy.    But would i love to see him sub in for Danny or Ogunjobi? Yessir.

  • Next up on watch queue - Chubb, NCST.   Starting with the FSU game and I can tell you just off his first snap, I have a feeling I'll be enjoying the rest of what I see.

    He doesnt pop out to me as a must have. I think he's solid and he will go so ewhere top 10. But i dont see that clinical discipline in run d or that ghost rushing u saw from clowney and garrett. He might not be there with the houston pick but if he is i wouldnt be absolutely livid if they took him. But i wouldnt be happy either. Not with wr concerns. First round needs to be qb and wr if possible. Taking another DE in the first round makes no sense unless the last name starts with a b and ends with an a with o and s in the middle. ?

    Cleve, Have ya checked out this crazed ape from Casper,Wyoming with Gators?..squint Ag. but he did body slam a Bama RB 🙂..#93 Taven Bryan..compared to JJ Watt?(really)

  • I refuse to watch a highlight reel where the player isnt highlighted pre snap. U can call me spoiled i dont care. But theres another guy on that gators line that looks line him from the high camera and im constantly looking which number is where.nope uh uh. I saw he got ejected for a textbook belly to backslam on that bama backer so he's officially on ole clev fans radar
