VirginiaMike Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Given the the combine is coming this week, what is the biggest question answered / statistic found / piece of information discovered that you hope to get at this week's combine. There will be a ton of information deseminated and the question will be does any of it mean anything to you. For me, I want to know Von Miller's physical numbers (speed, strength,size, ...) as well as his Wunderlich score. Doe she have the speed & strength to be dominate and can he learn and play smart. What do you want to know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Lightning Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Frankly, just size and brains. I think all we need to know is if they are football players and that we can only get from watching the games. The combine just tells us they are healthy and how many brain cells are working.

Beerball Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 What do you want to know? What we won't find out. I want to know how the QBs interviewed & if they were able to answer all of the tough questions thrown their way. I want to know if they appear to have the football smarts to make the transition to the NFL. Other than platitudes and generalizations we won't get those answers.

Ramius Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Nothing except what happens during the intreviews. None of the other measureables should affect the scouting done on a player based on his on field performance and production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I want to see the actual height, weight, speed, agility, and strength #'s of all the potential ILB and OLB prospects. Guys like Kelvin Sheppard, Von Miller, Martez Wilson, Greg Jones, Casey Matthews, Robert Quinn, Quan Sturdivant, and the rest of them. I also want to see how all of the TE's fair, as well as Locker in the passing drills. He was garbage at the Senior Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stock1623 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Nothing except what happens during the intreviews. None of the other measureables should affect the scouting done on a player based on his on field performance and production. Do you think they will point-blank ask Cam Newton about his father's actions and whether Cam knew about it? Since this is one of his character concerns, is this type of questioning considered appropriate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damian Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 i'm really interested in seeing Quinn get evaluated since he did not play this year. Plus it is nice to get some accurate height/weight numbers on alot of the prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevWarRifleman Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 The Combine, its not about what guys can do in shorts & tee shirts, its about what they can do with pads & helmits on during games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoner7 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I want to hear about the physicals, meetings, and the wonderlic. Is Herzlich 100% healthy? Is Bowers knee going to be a chronic problem? Is Cam Newton a retard or does he know whats going on? Can these players talk so that people can understand them (ie no McKelvins. At #3 this player is going to be the face of the Franchise for a while. Id like for him to be able to pronounce his own name) Wonderlic – I just cannot look at complete and utter idiots. If you cant find your way out of a paper bag odds are you can’t learn the playbook (we have had bad luck with the dummies, - Losman, Spiller, McKelvin, Young, etc) I don’t care how high they score, as long as they score above 15, they get a pass. I also like to position drills for the OL Guys. The other drills are pretty blah, but the OL drills are pretty realistic. I want to see if my favorite late round prospect James Carpenter has what it takes to play RT of if he is gonna be a G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since this is one of his character concerns, is this type of questioning considered appropriate? I'd hope so, if for no other reason than to see how he handles the questions without an agent/school official in his ear. I want to hear about the physicals, meetings, and the wonderlic.

erynthered Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 -- looks like i put the space in the wrong spot -- Just messin with you Mike! To your question, fine sir....... I'd like to see more of the interview process. Though I know thats probably not possible, I'd still like to see more of it. Maybe the parts where they're asking nuts and bolts questions about the game. Sets, formations, coverages etc... not off the field or personal issues. I think, sorry, I know that would be more interesting than how freakin high a dude can jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 If Cam Newton and Dareus are special needs children. Think those two on the brains end and Quinn physically are the three I'll actively look for results on. Otherwise just any outliers good or bad.

JPicc2114 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Gabbert's wonderlick score should be WAY higher than Cam Newtons.. thats not saying much though since it means nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 After Maybin, I want defensive players that know more than 1 move Honestly, his combine tests weren't good either. Compared to similar OLBs over the few years prior, he was mediocre at best if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDaDdy Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I want to see the measurables of all of the players. Specifically if we limit to first round picks I am really interested to see what kind of size, speed, strength and ability that Robert Quinn and Cam Newton have. Throw in Von Miller for good measure although I haven't seen any good video of him which is of course limited on the internet. I'm interested in Newtons wonderlick score but I'm much more interested in how he comes out of the interviews. As long as his score isn't really low or really high I don't think it will have too much of an impact on the football field. I would like to see a sister test to the wonderlic that tested "football IQ" as jaws likes to say. Tell me how smart of a football player the guy is not if he can come up with a unified theory. Cam doesn't need to be a genius....he needs to be a smart football player. The smarter football player the better. I know plenty of brainiacs that given the body of an NFL player couldn't hope to play the position. Knowing which number comes next in a sequence or being good at word logic questions doesn't mean you know which WR will be open based on the coverage you see or being able to identify it for that matter.
