bravesarethebest I'm hoping the falcons can get huff
Guest61 Michael Huff from Texas
Tony Pauline Huff is not here in Mobile.
ArtBtz Tony we had a question about what you feel is the break point
between
""blue chip"" and solid picks.... down into the fourth
round?
Tony Pauline It is a lot earlier than
that....you've got your top five players
then there is a drop off....the next drop off point is in the 20's of round
one.
Tony Pauline So you guys are aware- Phil Savage
was at the North practice today.
Tweety What position have the Falcons been looking at most in the
combine?
Tony Pauline The Falcons are everywhere-
they started grabbing players
yesterday and were all over the field.
Denis Savage The Falcons have been busy
here. They have meetings setup tonight with
a lot of players.
bravesarethebest prob OL, DE, S, and CB
Denis Savage WR
redwings did anyone stand out today?
Brent Sobleski Broderick Bunkley on the
South side was an animal today. Marcedes Lewis
looked great in routes.
Tony Pauline Anwar Phillips of Penn State- we
will have our practice
reports up in about an hour.
Brent Sobleski Ryans got a LOT of coaching up
by Singletary today. As did most of the
LBs, but Ryans was particularly disappointing.
ATL Does Demeco Ryans really look "thin" as stated on NFL
Countdown
Tony Pauline Atl...he looked thin compared to
Sobo!!!
mes78 Did Manny Lawson play LB today? If so, how did his hips look in
coverage?
Brent Sobleski No LB for Lawson today. Lawson
looked quite athletic to say the least.
He was quick off the edge but not overly
effective
ATL Why did Marus McNeil not show?
Denis Savage McNeil has arrived
redwings Do you guys think Michael Robinson will play QB in the
pros?
Tony Pauline Unlikely; WR/RB who throws the
option pass
ram Tony, if the first five and then it goes to 20, what is the next
break
point? How deep is this draft?
Tony Pauline You can get good players
through the first day but no
"blue-chippers"
Tweety Which DB caused the most buzz?
Tony Pauline Anwar Phillips
Denis Savage Still early on the DB front from
my eyes. There weren't a lot of
standouts today.
suzi TFY- see anything today that surprised you?
Tony Pauline suzi- Kiwi was not very
effective at all
ram Tony, I believe there are enough good players that this could be a
top 5
draft of the past 25 years. I was reading on-line that someone said it was the
top draft of the past 25 years Comment?
Tony Pauline ram- that's a hell of a
statement considering some of the draft's
from the 70's...
ram I am just asking the past 25 years. because those are the ones I
have
closely watched
Tony Pauline ram- in a nutshell this is a
good draft but it is a major stretch to
say it is the best of the past quarter century
redwings Have the lions personnel arrived yet?
Tony Pauline redwings- lots of Lions people on
hand
Guest53 Is Bobby Carpenter there?
Tony Pauline Guest 53 no
bravesarethebest Tony, would you agree that Kiwi is the most likely to
be a
bust of the top tier players this year?
Tony Pauline No; he will do well in the
proper system
ram Tony, How many LTs are starters in the NFL? I have been reading
there are
four good ones. How many beyond that will be good starters?
Tony Pauline Right now I say only Ferguson
is a sure thing. Winston and
McNeill must pick it up quickly or they will be RT's... Winston Justice could
flip to the left side.
ATL How is Chad Greenway looking...is he #12 material?
Tony Pauline Atl...Greenway looked solid all
day...except for his long snapping-
it was horrid
Guest53 How's Ryans looking?
Brent Sobleski Ryans has a subpar day for his
stature coming in
Tweety Can Greg Blue become a cover Safety in the NFL, or will he be
converted to LB?
Tony Pauline Tweety....I don't think he will be
a "cover" safety...either strong
safety or possibly a two-deep SA
Brent Sobleski Dumerville had trouble with the
big boys, that was one of my bigger surprises
mes78 If Savage was watching the North practice today, then what
positions did
he focus on? Who else was with him?
Brent Sobleski Broderick Bunkley, Marcedes
Lewis
mes78 How did Tapp do with the big boys?
Tony Pauline mes78...not impresssive
Guest53 How big is Bunkley?
Brent Sobleski Bunkley is a man's man at
6'2' 300
ckparrothead Who did the Miami Dolphins seem most interested in?
Denis Savage ckparrothead: The Fish are very
active. They seem to be
focused
on OL, and WR
bravesarethebest Are yall just draft experts, or could any of yall tell
me if
the falcons are looking to move Demo Williams to safety? We have a surplus at
LB, and the starters will be Brooking, Hartwell, and Boley.
Tony Pauline bravesarebest....their plan is
to keep him at LB
Guest53 What are the negatives on Bunkley?
Brent Sobleski Bunkley was a 1 technique in
college but was not asked to eat up blockers
like he would as a 34 DE. He is explosive off the line
Guest31 Sobo, What's your read on his [Bunkley] usefullness on the
Browns DL,
then?
Brent Sobleski Personally think Bunkley
would be the perfect fit for the Browns.
Personally with a solid week he could be first-round material
ckparrothead This is for any of the experts here... do this year's
linebackers
look a little smallish? Unable to handle attacking the lines?
Tony Pauline ckparrotthead....everyone
checked in smaller than advertised today.
Guest53 Why were Greenway's sack totals so low at Iowa?
Tony Pauline Gueswt53....he's a complete
linebacker- not just an
"up the field type"
OkiBrown Sobo...how did Jay Cutler look today?
Brent Sobleski I was at the South practice
so I didn't see Cutler
ckparrothead How did Jonathon Scott of Texas look? Any truth to his
label
of being a "lunger"?
Brent Sobleski Scott is hit or miss
ATL How did DJ Shockley look?
Denis Savage Shockley has his moments. The
south report will be up later with
all the details and at the end of the week we will be able to give a better
assessment.
OkiBrown Sobo and Tony...who's coaching the two teams?
Tony Pauline Oki- North: Tennessee, South:
San Fran
Guest53 How's the weather in Mobile?
Denis Savage 53: Not as much rain as we
thought we would have
ckparrothead Has there been any Ricky Williams chatter out there among
the
teams?
Tony Pauline ck.. Have not heard any to
date
bravesarethebest TFY, why is Jimmy Williams falling out of the top 15 on
so
many sites??
Tony Pauline bravesarebest...many sites are
fickle and rate players like the
wind...Williams is a 8-12 pick; was never higher and should not be lower
barring
disaster.
redwings Is big Gabe the only Michigan player there or is Avant there
too?
Denis Savage Avant is here
OkiBrown Are the 3 Buckeye LBs down there?
Brent Sobleski None are here. Carpenter was
supposed to originally but the foot injury
must have held him up
Guest129 what about Jahmile Addae?
Tony Pauline Guest129 hard hitter all
day...good versus the run
Guest189 What players did my Eagles show interest in on day 1
TFY??
Denis Savage WR Hank Baskett, that I saw
