You're revising history bro. Acting like Moss was a monster pickup. Everyone in the league thought he was washed up. That's why the Pats got him for nothing.

Uh no. First you implied the Patriots got Moss for 'nothing', as if they game the system or something. I'm just proving basically no one wanted him. A 4th round pick for a supposedly washed up former superstar is a lot, considering the amount of bitching that went on in here regarding the Talib trade.

I hate the combine. I mean, I love it, because it's football stuff when there is no football stuff, but I hate it because it's such a tease. We get to watch all these prospects do their thing, get all hyped for the draft.....except it's two months away still.

7th round pick?! HA! You'll use the 5th pick on him!
I wouldn't mind maybe using a 4th on him

I'd rather scoop Milliner up right then and there but that's just me wanting to pick a corner in the 1st round for the longest time.
I think the fact that he only could bench 4 times tells me he hasn't done shit this offseason which is going to cause him to fall from 4th or 5th to 6th or possibly 7th round.
Bench pressing isn't that important for his position, he ran a good 40 that automatically makes him go a bit higher.
Come to think of, wasn't there a punter or kicker in one of the recent combines who pressed more than many linemen? Forgot who it was....

Stevan Ridley (RB) bench pressed more than Nate Solder (LT) during their combine.
What that means? I don't know.
The really tall/long armed linemen struggle sometimes with it. That LT the Bengals drafted didn't even press 20 times iirc. Turned out alright after his rookie season.

I know were you're coming from but at the same Time I think him being a Db makes his bench alittle less important and the fact he ran a 4.4 really helps his stock at his position.
I'm personally more worried about a guy like Damontre Moore benching like 12 reps at his position, I just expect more.
Forget the combine for a sec and look at this mugshot of Desmond Bryant. Priceless

Yeah it's pretty obvious the honey badger has missed the benefit of a football season. (or a stacked LSU defense)
Isn't the rep only 225? High school players bench that a dozen or so times!

Only 225? I don't think I could do 1.
I would probably die.
Huh, I had you pegged for a Hurricanes fan.
Lol at the Packers ever being seriously interested in Moss.
You're probably talking about David Buehler.
"At the Combine, Buehler opted to participate in areas not required of kickers, and recorded results on strength and speed tests that were better than other regarded linebackers and offensive linemen; he recorded 25 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press test, better than USC teammate Rey Maualuga, linemen Michael Oher and Eugene Monroe, and equal to Aaron Curry, and ran 4.56 and 4.63 seconds in the 40-yard dash, better than teammates Brian Cushing and Clay Matthews III."
The Giants have got to have the most jacked special teams unit in the league between him and Steve Weatherford.

Weatherford is fun to follow on twitter cause he's such a workout junkie. Posts all kinds of workout tips and other stuff. Not to mention he seems like a genuinely funny guy.The Giants have got to have the most jacked special teams unit in the league between him and Steve Weatherford.
I'd kill to be that cut though. Cripes...

You're old and busted though, so that dream of being cut will forever remain a dream.
Sucks to be old.

Yeah, that's him.
A lot of benchpressing accidents and torn hamstrings

Me too.
Still, if he was strong he could have made up for his short stature in some ways. Short and weak is not something you want in your secondary. Believe me, I know what it's like to watch a secondary where most of them are afraid to tackle except the 35+ year old.

I know! It's all down hill after 30.
Not a great 40 time for Banks.
Honey Badger apparently having a pretty good day today outside of the bench at least according to Wellie..

Eh, more like who wants to put the effort out? Every guy I've known who looks like that acts like a disciple of some sort of weight lifting cult and feels the need to spread the message of high protein diets and workout regimens to the fat unwashed masses. Have yet to meet a weightlifter who can go more than an hour without talking about it!
Honestly though, strength and the will to tackle are not necessarily comparable. You have a lot of scrawny guys who just have the balls and dive and claw to make a tackle, then you have some buffs safeties and even LBs who can't tackle for shit or just want a big hit on a receiver who is in the air (everyone can jack someone up like that).

Was looking to see if any NFL players went to same high school I did(our football team was pretty bad when I was there, they blew it up and restarted the program one year with just 30 kids, even though the school was fairly large). Not sure what brought it to mind, but I knew AJ Hawk and few others went to Centerville high school which was a district rival for us.
Anyways, apparently Kurt Coleman went to my high school. No idea of his story, but I guess he tackled Gentry at spring practice at OSU and paralyzed the kid. Almost quit football because of it. That shits crazy.
Lists him as the only NFL player on Wikipedia

I think I went to Kindergarden and 1st grade with JPP. I remember this black kid named either Jason or James, we're also the same age, and we're from the same hometown. Can't find anything that confirms he went to Deerfield Elementary though.

Has any player's on field reputation fallen as far as fast as Asomugha?

And then when the season started, opposing players would eat his lunch!
Come back to Oakland ;-;
Refuse the restructure, get cut and sign for 2-3 million. Still come out with 6-7 million since the Eagles owe him 4 million regardless.
Nnamdi was a class act at Oakland. Not his fault Al Davis decided to pay for that fraud Stanford Routt over him.
