The combine was canceled that year. I believe those were his pro day numbers, not sure about self reported. I thought they had actual pro days. However, with so many guys opting out, or in Brown’s case having his season cancelled, people were able to spend way more time than normal preparing for the workout.

Shakir Training with Moulds
MrEpsYtown replied to Over 29 years of fanhood's topic in The Stadium Wall
I’m sorry brother! He may blow up because he will be playing for a contract! Glass half full! -

Unfortunately, we just witnessed Gabe’s year three. However, he could explode in 2023 since it is his free agent year. -
My very early gut tells me that all the DL, OL and WRs will be gone by pick 27. I think our only hope is that a bunch of quarterbacks go. If they don’t, our pick 27 essentially has the value of a second rounder

I like Broderick Jones, I know some people don’t. But I just really like the upside play. He is already gone in a lot of mocks, but I thibk there is a chance he falls a bit. I will add that I think he is going to have a really good combine. Paris Johnson is probably the best LT in the draft. I love Pete Skoronski, but I think he’s a guard. If Jones is there, I would consider taking him and moving Dion. I don’t think there is anyone else who could be there, who I would make that move for. I definitely like taking a round 2-4 type guy, maybe Bergeron, Mauch, or Steen, guys who can play tackle but may be guards in the NFL. But I am not sure I would be willing to go OT round 1 unless its for Jones or Johnson who are both probably way gone.

I don’t think they have much choice in the matter. They won’t be able to afford any upgrades in UFA (I don’t think there are upgrades). I also don’t think a rookie would be any more prepared than Brown. I think you let it ride this year.

Byron Jones - Dolphins CB - Says He Can't Play Anymore

Pretty bad look for the Dolphins when you consider the Tua stuff as well- 30 replies

Ingram may just be his krptonite. Everyone has a guy like that, Jerry Hughes vs HOF Joe Thomas.

Yeah it’s quite confusing. A lot of people seem to want Mike McGlinchey. He sucks. He’s just an older, more expensive version of Brown without the upside. 100% these guys don’t really make it to a second contract, some get a lot of money in free agency, but for the most part paying a RT or using a first round pick on one is insanity. Look at Atlanta, they had two first round picks a few years ago and draft RG and a RT. Someone is going to pay McGary, who was worse than Brown up until this season and Chris Lindstrom is very good and a free agent next year. The Falcons still suck. Those first round picks need to be impact picks, not plug hole picks. Also, PFF scores are interesting but misleading. Too many people look at that and think it says something about a guys ability. Its’s cute, but it means nothing and often times does not match the eye test.

Bobby Wagner - the solution to the Edmunds problem
MrEpsYtown replied to Rigotz's topic in The Stadium Wall
Close to Zero chance they pursue him. They have shown zero interest in that type of linebacker in the past. I think they pursue Germaine Pratt, Cole Holcomb, Bobby Okereke, Cody Barton, maybe a Zach Cunningham, Anthony Walker Jr. or Leighton Vander Esch if Edmunds goes. Those guys are the types of athletes they typically pursue. A lot of people have mentioned Shaq Thompson if cut, I could see that as well. Don’t get me wrong, I like Edwards, I just don’t think he is their type. -
You get a bit of that in the shuttle and the three cone. But I don’t think that is his issue. @GunnerBill has talked about it, but Brown’s issue is using leverage and finding his center of gravity. Being as tall as he is, he really hasn’t found that sweet spot. But guys like him take awhile. Add in the fact that he switched positions in college, dealt with covid and cancelled seasons, came from a small school, and had an injury and 2 o-line coaches in 2 years? I give him a pass. I think this is the year he has to put it together. I’m not willing to move one yet because the upside is tremendous.
-
Long story short, if you were going to build a tackle in a lab, Brown is basically the perfect specimen. Doesn’t necessarily mean he is a finished product. He needs time and I think this year is make or break.
-
it’s a composite score that molds together size, speed, strength as a projection at his position. Just to add, Spencer Brown’s 3 cone drill was better than Zay McKenzie’s at 6-8, 311. That’s a short area agility and change of direction score.
-
Nah I disagree. I really could not care less what he does. I actaully think there are better players to be had in the draft and FA. His career was nowhere before he got here, he became something here and if he goes to Miami he will 100% regret it and get cut in the next 2 years. Sometimes the fit is more important than a lot of the other ancillary parts.

Jersey Number Changes: A Way Too Early Topic
MrEpsYtown replied to TheyCallMeAndy's topic in The Stadium Wall
Sounds like the pitch for Brokeback Mountain 2 -
These guys should just look over at Jordan Phillips and Shaq Lawson and read the situation. Poyer is a difference maker in this defense. He may not be a difference maker elsewhere. Sure he will get a bag, but his career will toil in relative obscurity and he will be cut in two years. And seriously, people are afraid of the Dolphins?

Jersey Number Changes: A Way Too Early Topic

Does Barkley give up 5 to Elam? Greg Rousseau wore 15 in college. Perhaps if Kumerow is not back. -
I use that every day. Love it

Shakir Training with Moulds
MrEpsYtown replied to Over 29 years of fanhood's topic in The Stadium Wall
In terms of his blocking, I give him a little bit of a pass because he didn’t do much blocking at Boise because he was always the one with the ball. I think for a guy who played as much as he did in college was coming in a just a but raw. I think he will come around. He is a really good athlete (terrible 3 cone is probably why he dropped in the draft) and plenty strong with 16 bench reps. It’s likely a footwork/timing repetition thing. -
Shakir Training with Moulds
MrEpsYtown replied to Over 29 years of fanhood's topic in The Stadium Wall
If there is a silver lining to Shakir being on the bench a bunch and dropping that pass against Miami, he seems like the type of dude who is going to put in the level of work needed to make sure that never happens again. -
Some more Jack Campbell…literally doing things in run and coverage I have never seen TE do. The zone drop, coming off his primary responsibility and picking the ball off is Luke Kuechly type stuff. I think he will blow up the combine a little. People kind of brand him the dreaded “lunch pail” moniker that implies he is unathletic. I think he is more athletic than people think. I want this player on my team.

Anyone else remember Dog Boy on MTV’s liquid television?

If JP Losman turned into a good coach, the sky is the limit for pretty much everyone else with a pulse.
