Hadn't done any Brett Kollmann watching this year, but he was cued up after I watched Muti vs USC 2019 (rough 1st Qtr including some post play flexing of his right knee, but then came on the rest of the game).

The cued vid was his "Wirfs vs Wills" work up... Wills won for consistency... and then went looking for his takes on other OTs. Did not find any dedicated to any of the other prospects, but did find his 1st round mock which had tidbits on all the other top ones plus of course other positions. He mocked Becton to us after Wills, Thomas and Wirfs were off the board before our #10. The had Jones go to TB at 14 to protect TB12.

With all the top OTs gone he then had MIA take Ashtyn Davis at 18.... loves the kid. Then had MIA take Austin Davis at #26.

Also sent Hurts to NO at #26...

Did I mention he was drinking Bourbons throughout?

Now I have to watch his "Justin Herbert is Mitch Trubisky, but cranked up to 11." lol... ought to be a hoot.

Oh, goody.  I'm glad he is equally as unimpressed with Herbert as I am.   Kid is the next Blaine Gabbert.

And the thing is move, the kid can freakin' move...

That's what separates Yanda from most other guards - his feet. The biggest reason he was able to play swing tackle in a pinch.

Consider me on board.

How does this 'throw Embres-out the club' Ox not see the Gil Brandt nor Daniel Jeremiah's top 150 prospects? can we get his feet to turn & play RG and get him to the 5-6th round? 

Hombres??? lol.... 44 bench reps looks about right doesn't it? Seems like wherever he goes, bodies end up on the ground.

Tour, is "Birdie King" the game that had the big, knuckle busting roller ball on the front? If so, I loved the game but my knucks took a hell of a beating playing it. LOL

That's the one....

@tour2ma said:

Yes... I think he can be the next Yanda/Scherff...

I hate highlight vids, but this one is a hoot! You do NOT want to let this guy see your ribs..

Weird opening, but let it roll...

Son-in-law bought a a arcade style game a guy he knows makes. It has the program for almost every game of the golden era from Pong on... literally thousands of them. And the full array of controllers... buttons, joystick, trac ball... you name it.

Can't wait to visit and finally get thru all 18 holes of Birdie King...

Meanwhile back at the thread...

Twitter is really heating up...

LaCanfora? 

Sweet, so that means we'll be taking Wirfs it would appear.

I love "Sniper Ghost Warrior 3". It's amazing - I haven't played for a while - been busy with other stuff - but it is impressive -

I do like tact shooters, but there is a downside - I suck at them.

Like.... bad.

I've got Madden...?  Had Battlefield.   So there's that.

That's real.  It is kind of nice having that virtual playground to meet up with my friends.  Good getting a chance to talk to them every so often.

If you come across any games you might recommend - holla.

It was just a comment. I played a bit of Madden some years ago and it was maddening for me. I played Call of Duty too, though Battlefield sounds more strategy oriented and surely I'd like it. 

I've spent many years not playing videogames because I was really hooked up during childhood-teenage years, but now that is kind of a meeting point for friends...

Me and my friends are hooked up to Age of Empires II. Using Discord now (after using Hangouts and Teamspeak for some weeks). 

We play old Conquerors in HD (with no expansions) and I have Definitive Edition and I spend some time on it by myself.

Now I just need to find a game to play.

Anywho, they introduced me to discord - VOIP app.    It's what they use to talk while playing.

Spoken like true Buckeyes fans ?.... Ya get Malik or ya get Hammy!! now which one is it? ?... M A L I K for me! they are both ranked in the 60's 

Malik for me....a greater position of need.  (I took him for the Browns in round 3 of our mock, if you recall).    But I have seen some ratings that put him higher. 

Muse seems to have the skill set and measurables to cover TEs in the league too 

About Geno Stone - the kid seems like he's very, very football smart. If it were me, I could draft this kid in the seventh, or sign him as a UDFA, and he might turn out to be a big player on special teams. He's a rough tough safety - he actually has a higher grade as a safety as Joe Schobert did as a lb. He's smallish - 5'10", 207 lbs.

And Joe Schobert made All-pro on guts, smarts and a love for the game. Great instincts.

   I could guess special teams for Stone, because he is a football player, like Tiam mentioned. I suppose if I were deciding - this kid might surprise a lot of people in the end zone -

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/joe-schobert?id=2555166

I mean - Tyrann Mathieu (of "honey badger" fame), was only 5'9", 190 lbs....he ran a 4.5x, and was a cb. Now listed as a safety.

Stone ran a 4.62? Sure, slow for a safety.... but I think he might end up as a role player - and special teams ace - found toward the end of the draft, or afterwards. Me, I wouldn't overlook the kid entirely. Let's put it this way - there is all sorts of kids with a whole lot more going for them physically, and some don't care about the game and don't make it, even drafted high.

@tour2ma said:

How far do I have to get into the Geno Stone vid before I see a highlight?

Kid's too slow for the pros, tia...

It isn't so much the "highlight plays".  He's athletically limited but mentally you see split safety tools.  Late (late) round may be udfa type tools, but the kid might earn a spot somewhere. 

I just appreciate the blue collar player every so often.
