The USC vs Oregon game is scheduled to be shown tonight so I've got it on record. I'll likely watch it tomorrow and offer some thoughts. I'll keep an eye on Brown, he impressed me against Notre Dame and Oregon State but it'll be interesting to see how he copes against a better team like the Ducks.<br /><br />Todd - I've not got easy access to Utah games but if I get a chance to watch them this year I'll watch out for Johnson.Rob Statonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16481945325907207562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053006193215777292.post-15086785746005168522009-10-31T23:38:15.462-07:002009-10-31T23:38:15.462-07:00Rob,

He seemed slow, and at no time did he overpower him man. There were times when he maintained his blocks, but on many occasions he got beat...if he gets beat in college with any degree of regularity, I would assume he would get beaten quite often in the NFL. Secondly, I would have to agree with everything you've said regarding Mays. The one thing I noticed about him was that he was a complete NON-FACTOR. He was rairly around the ball, and didn't even make many tackles.<br /><br />If you watched the game, would you agree with my summary?<br /><br />GriffinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053006193215777292.post-13505502625992790672009-10-31T22:52:47.567-07:002009-10-31T22:52:47.567-07:00Seems like Berry translates to a Free Safety, Mays...Seems like Berry translates to a Free Safety, Mays to SS.<br /><br />I think with the 'Hawks strength at LB, and lack of ball-hawks in the backfield, I'd prefer they get Berry as someone who can play the ball and provide effective help. Mays is not that guy.<br /><br />Still, I'd agree that Suh and McCoy are probably BPA if they are available.<br /><br />My fear is that we'll reach at OT due to our (legitimate) injury and depth concerns.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14137250802983791904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053006193215777292.post-23755222022109911382009-10-31T21:12:34.456-07:002009-10-31T21:12:34.456-07:00Have you looked at some film of Robert Johnson out...Have you looked at some film of Robert Johnson out of Utah.

Sorry I haven't got back in touch sooner - had a real busy day today and I'm actually trying to plan a trip to Seattle next weekend for the Lions game - still haven't got things sorted and just managed to squeeze in a quick scout of Bryan Bulaga.<br /><br />I've not concentrated too much on Harris because he's not going to be in the 2010 draft. I've seen Miami once this year and he looked a bit under sized... but he threw it around nicely. I'm not really in a position to say he's worth consideration, I need to do a bit more homework first. I think in general the issue is - even if you draft a Harris or anyone else in 2011, do they have to then start as a rookie? Hasselbeck's contract expires after 2010. Starting a rookie doesn't appeal to me, even if we discover a third Manning brother who can throw it around a bit.<br /><br />Hey annonymous - I've not seen Odrick or Jones to be honest so didn't want to comment before I do. I've read some suggestions that odrick is better in a 3-4, not sure how true that is. Jones could be an option from what I've heard, but again I've not had a chance to watch him yet.Rob Statonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16481945325907207562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053006193215777292.post-11635380682103007882009-10-31T08:40:52.116-07:002009-10-31T08:40:52.116-07:00Rob, this may be a monster class with a horde of j...Rob, this may be a monster class with a horde of juniors and 3rd year sophomores declaring for the draft. If that happens, there will be quality guys slipping to the 3rd-4th round. I think it's critical that Seattle get back that missing 3rd round pick, either through pre-draft trade or trading down in the 1st round. There are a bunch of DT and DE that should go in the first two rounds that you didn't mention. While I agree that DE is very important, given the way we've been shredded by RB's this year, I think DT also needs a serious upgrade. In addition to Suh and McCoy,there are a number of other quality DT's that we should consider with our first 3 picks, including Arthur Jones-Syracuse and Jared Odrick-Penn St (both seniors).<br /><br />And if I put my Ruskell hat on, I think we need to solve the problem of so much money tied up in our LB's and WR's. Leroy Hill and Deon Branch are luxuries we really can't afford. I'd trade them after the season. Hill for a 2nd or 3rd and 4th, and Branch for, well, just about anything. Equally important we shed the salaries so we can sign a multitude of draftees and nab a high profile free agent or two. We need to think longer term than next season. We need an infusion of quality guys accross the board to upgrade numerous positions if we want to get back to Superbowl contention. Aside from LB, and maybe WR (cause I like Housh, Burly and Butler), I can't think of a single position where we don't need an upgrade, and yes, that includes QB. Hass is a gamer, but his body no longer keeps pace with his will. He is on the decline physically. If Teel isn't the heir apparent, we need to find one soon or everything else is shadows and dust.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053006193215777292.post-55563590017020278952009-10-31T01:11:15.640-07:002009-10-31T01:11:15.640-07:00Me again!

I was not impressed with capers and he let Pierre run right by him several times and Capers did not continue blocking once the first man got by. And he did a horrible job of cutting a DL. The DL hopped 1 foot in the air and got over him with a clear path to the QB.<br /><br />For WV Db wearing #2 and #11 both played very well <br /><br />For FSU DT #97 got some great push up the middle and #49 was in on a lot of plays. <br /><br />Too lazy to get their names :p<br /><br />I have a couple of games from the last couple of weeks on my HD DVR and have it set to get several more tomorrow. I need to hook the DVR to my computer and transfer them over.<br /><br />I also got some great quality Oklahoma St games from TYT. :)ivotukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00640690022405348075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053006193215777292.post-14461949970862566482009-10-31T01:04:43.143-07:002009-10-31T01:04:43.143-07:00This is the area I am most interested in is defens...This is the area I am most interested in is defense. <br /><br />It is possible that Suh could slide if people start worrying about the knee problems. I'd hate to see another Marcus Tubbs but from watching Suh, I don't see him having any serious health problems.<br /><br />The way he moves, his athleticism, he looks long and I would say fluid. Somehow that just gives me the impression of someone who is built to shrug off the physical pounding an aggressive DT like Ndamokung engages in. <br /><br />I've seen how important a Pro Bowl caliber safety can be. Bob Sanders coming of an injury is responsible for slowing down the rushing game of opponents and the difference in whether or not the Colts appear in a SuperBowl and get the win.<br /><br />After watching some games I have seen the problems you have mentioned with Mays and Berry but the upside to them is this; for Berry it's working with Monte Kiffin, for Mays it's the fear factor for receivers when they are stretching out for a high ball when coming over the middle. Mays will cause a lot of receivers to develop T Rex arms. I think there will always be that cringe factor when the WR isn't sure were Taylor Mays is coming from or how fast. I think the fear would work well against Fitzgerald, Vernon Davis and Crabtree. <br /><br />Having said that, I believe there will be 1 or 2 good FS early in the 2nd round and my dream would be to trade back with our highest pick and grab a late first round DL or OT and/or C.J. Spiller then go for a S with the 2nd rounder and BPA with the second 2nd rounder from a trade. <br /><br />But, depending on how the draft goes, unless there is a phenom at OT, RB or S right at our early pick, I would go with a dominant DT or DE. I honestly believe either of them would give this defense what it needs to apply pressure to any O-Line. If we can dominate on the defensive side of the ball then we can use the OL we have now, pick up a good FA, and use the 2nd first rounder on Spiller or a Safety.<br /><br />I don't think CB is a big need as we have Trufant, Lucas is good for another year or two and Josh Wilson is a very good CB. Kelly Jennings will improve and eventually show that he was worth a first round pick and with Babs, we have a very solid DB backfield. <br /><br />So I guess what it comes down to is I want our earliest pick spent on a top notch DT or DE in that order.<br /><br />The next first rounder should be spent on a game breaker sort of like Percy Harvin, which seems to be CJ SPiller.<br /><br />Then spend the 2nd rounder on BPA out of the OL and S positions. <br /><br />After watching drafts and seeing a short inside look at Bill Bellichecks war room, I think the best value is to consider trading up in the first to get another 2nd and maybe 3rd rounder. This draft should provide real talent well in to the 2nd round and some diamonds in the 3rd. <br /><br />That would give us at least one or two extra quality players. <br /><br />I want a defense that can push any offensive line backwards because that will give our offense plenty of opportunities to score. And we have seen how well they can score when the opposing team has a lot of 3 and outs.ivotukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00640690022405348075noreply@blogger.com
