    I'm hoping for a Carlos Basham, Jr. breakdown....

    Patrick Jones initial viewing and thoughts.   

    "Rough draft" Thoughts.

    6'5 260lbs.   That's a first-off-the-bus kind of player.   All the physical gifts are there.  Good arm length, height, weight distribution throughout his body.   Athletic, quick as evidenced in the first step routinely.    Raw...  technically raw.   Bordering somewhere between considerably and very.     I can see why you'd be enamored with him though, his functional play strength is there and when he does win it's based mostly on that strength and athleticism with little contribution from polished technique, most glaring being pad level/center of gravity and feet to hand sync.    This is the earliest game of the 2020 season I could find, so I'm hoping to see improvement with some consistency in games further down the rest of the year.   But the few wins I saw make me curious enough to keep watching, so at least there's that.      But 1st round hype?  That must mean some better tape is coming I would hope. 

    I'm looking forward to a late season game view of this guy. Looks like a lot of correctable things with raw talent. A good NFL D coach can fix that stuff quickly. Thanks tia.

    "Quickly" is a relative term.  My definition of quick sounds like it differs from yours quite a bit.        Obviously I'll have a little more concrete idea on that differential when I watch his late season games.

    About as subtle as a chick in a long term relationship saying "damn, this RING sure would look nice"

    I'm thinking in terms of seasons, not weeks. Hopefully during the first season depending upon motivation and "smarts". They were able to change Baker's game from one season to the next. That was truly impressive.

    Back in the lab... or is it the machine shop?  Watching Patrick Jones v Louisville 2020.  Feel free to stop in and give your opinions. 

    Your favorite DJ will be spinning the 1's and 2's for at least another hour in the discord.

    Bring her in on the coaching staff.   That chicka has PERFECT form.   Look at here breakdown and square, eyes up and everything.  

    I can't get million dollar athletes to do that shit.

    Something I forever criticized about or LB play this past season.

    Just think what she could do in pads! I foresee a Waterboy scenario... "Mom... that QB just peeped in your daughter's window."

    Bullshit Kyler Murray is 5'10.

    For what its worth,  Mel Kiper said today that the 4 best  QB prospects  he has ever evaluated since  he has been doing what he does are:

    John Elway

    Andrew Luck

    Peyton Manning

    Trevor Lawrence. 

    He didn't say who his next several were.

    Was having a few drinks last night and talking  the Browns backfield will look in a couple years time.  Sure, he isn't a "prospect", but as a young player even a lot of Browns fans have well out-of-mind, I genuinely believe this kid has an NFL future should we break from Chubb and/or Kareem.

    Duke Johnson since released.  Would you rather have D'Ernest or Duke?

    Love him.  Does a lot of the little things well.  Ball Security and Blitz pick up.

    He has a nice burst too. I think we called him Kamara Lite during the season.

    Sometime during or after Cowboy or Colt game.

    It’s the Hips and burst for me.  He obviously isn’t Alvin but he’s got some light qualities.
