2010 NFL Draft Player Profile: Colt McCoy
Two things have become apparent in scouting the quarterback position for the 2010 NF Draft: that all the top quarterbacks face some serious questions, and after Sam Bradford and Jimmy Clausen there is quite arguably a dramatic drop-off. However, in reference to Colt McCoy, when talking about pure ability and results, that isn’t particularly the [...]
Picking the NCAA Tournament: Thursday’s Early First Round Games
West Region #7 BYU vs. #10 Florida (12:25 P.M. ET) Odds – Spread: BYU -5 ½, Moneyline: -225, Over/Under: 147 Florida beat Michigan State earlier this season and gave Kentucky all they had twice, lost to South Alabama at home, finished only 9-7 in the SEC, and lost in the quarterfinals of the SEC Tournament, [...]
2010 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tourney: Seven Guys to Watch
The NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament is all about crowning an eventual champion, filling out your bracket, and watching (and praying) for the big upsets. However, it also plays a vital role in NBA scouts finalizing their reports on several players. They for players showing their clutch ability (or lack thereof), their athleticism, and their ability [...]
2010 NFL Draft Player Profile: Tim Tebow
What hasn’t been said about Tim Tebow? Despite winning two national championships, a Heisman, and earning (nearly) everyone’s respect as a college performer, there is still a laundry list of flaws for Tebow as an NFL prospect. The guy is simply a gamer, a true leader and competitor, yet he is constantly weighed down by [...]
2010 NFL Draft Player Profile: Jimmy Clausen
Like Sam Bradford and Colt McCoy, an injury (toe) kept Notre Dame’s Jimmy Clausen from participating in any drills at the 2010 NFL Combine, leaving NFL scouts and GM’s to gauge his draft value based on film alone. Considering his 2009 film does nothing but help him, that might have been the best way possible [...]
With Cincinnati Not an Option, Where Will Terrell Owens Go?
It’s that time again. Time for a good, hard look around the league, quickly analyzing all the options remaining for a big-name free agent. This time around, it’s Terrell Owens. Again. We scoured over all the options last year when Owens was released by the Cowboys, and virtually nobody thought of the Buffalo Bills, and [...]
2010 NFL Draft Player Profile: Sam Bradford
Sam Bradford is a “what you see, is what you get” prospect with very prolific numbers, good size, and a solid arm. However, the fact that he sustained two injuries (to his shoulder) and that he missed the 2010 NFL Combine, well, it raises questions. But that shouldn’t keep Bradford from being discussed with the [...]
Taylor Smith’s Week 20 NBA Power Rankings: Mavericks on Top, Lakers Falling
Apparently, nobody really wants that eighth seed in the Western Conference. Every team currently ninth or lower in the West has dropped their most recent game, and no team has gone better than 5-5 in their last 10. The eighth place Blazers are just 6-4 in that stretch, but appear to have a stranglehold on [...]
2010 NFL Scouting Combine: Strong Safety Results
We finish our coverage of the 2010 NFL Combine with a look at how the strong safeties did, both the elite and the weak. While it’s no secret that Taylor Mays dominated the drills and caught everyone’s attention in the free safety group, it’s time to finally look at the strong safety position. For all [...]
2010 NFL Scouting Combine: Free Safety Results
The NFL Combine is done and gone, but with NFL Free Agency talk sweeping the NFL buzz bin, it’s time to get our focus back on the 2010 NFL Draft. To start doing that, let’s wrap-up out Combine coverage with the two safety positions. Here, we analyze how the top free safeties fared in their [...]
