The stats could be misleading, except they each had 4 receptions. It’s what they did with those receptions that I’m drawing attention to. In the scenario you outline above, TTU defenders would not have been able to focus on Metcalf the same way they did Butler because of Brown and Lodge, making what Butler did with those 4 receptions even more impressive.

I understand your methodology, but not your interpretation of the results. That’s why I asked for others to weigh in. Maybe I’m biased and just don’t see it.

To me, Metcalf at 6’4” and 230lbs is much closer in build than Butler at 6’6” and 225lbs. Butler also appeared a lot more “Gumby” when breaking tackles where Metcalf seemed to rely on…[Read more]

I get that he’s big and hard to tackle, but I don’t see anything in his movement that reminds me of Njoku at all. What examples are you looking at? I’m genuinely curious, because I don’t see that at all. Long stride speed? I see that. Body balance and reaching back over the corner to complete the catch? I see that. Bending and shedding tackler…[Read more]

I’m a no. On both. Shelton is a 3-4 NT and Wilks runs a 4-3 (look at his defense in Carolina, Shelton isn’t a fit). TP hasn’t done anything since leaving the Browns. He wasn’t loyal and saying he got “bad advice” doesn’t make him appear contrite at all. It’s not someone else’s fault. YOU wrecked it TP. He needs us more than we need him. Pass.

It’s complete horseshit. It was done for the sole purpose of screwing Cleveland. Baker is not going to forget this. The kid already had a chip on his shoulder. I can’t wait to see what he does with this new source of motivation.

On a completely separate note, the NFL has the credibility of the WWE. The officiating and honors are a joke. Con…[Read more]

I’ve read the negative reviews. What I can’t find is film that substantiates the print. Did he have bad plays? Sure. But nothing I saw looked chronic.

Now I will say I agree with the long strider criticism. But he is quick enough (and it shows on film). His leaping ability and body control are insane. In that regard, he reminds me a lot of.…[Read more]

I simply don’t understand how this kid is not just “under the radar”, but not considered the best WR in this class by a significant margin. He has the physical tools to be a top 25 all time WR. The height, speed, jumping ability, body control – outside of (maybe) Calvin Johnson where have you seen this before (I’d argue that Johnson is probabl…[Read more]

I suspect this young man will be both; a freak physical specimen that will be a very productive football player. I’m really hoping he falls to the Browns, because I think he is the kind of explosive player that Dorsey likes. Here is his highlight real from last season. I know you can’t judge a player off of just his highlights, but this kid has…[Read more]

Butler invited to the combine:

Watch this kid, his stock is about to shoot through the roof!

The bandwagon is growing:

Damn that looks good Shooter! Let me know if you need any analytics data! Math!

Guess who has declared for the draft?

NFL.com now states he’s facing suspension. Can’t believe we got a 5th rounder for this guy. I wanted to see him succeed, even after he left Cleveland, but a leopard never changes his spots.

You say Butler is your boy. Got it.

I basicall said hey dude check what I found out your boy…what do you think? From my perspective you reacted like I said he sucked and wanted to take my head off.

He’s not my boy. I have no allegiance to Iowa State or to Hakeem Butler. Here’s my issue:

I stumbled across his footage while researching Heisman w…[Read more]

Did a lil diggin. And found this: Kid has yet to declare and has a history of drops (sigh)….and Todd McShay told him he’d likely get a day 2 grade from the NFL. For whats that worth.

I hope you didn’t do too much digging. I stated that in the post…

We’ve been able to effectively use play action and screen passes to negate the pass rush. Baker is developing a feel for the pocket and is growing by leaps and bounds in Kitchen’s offense. I think we keep it close and grind out another statement win in Denver.

“But a big arm qb slinging it in an air raid O…very little of what he did at TX tech will transfer to nfl…

In that vein look what goff looked like even though he was supposedly from a quote quote advanced version of the bear raid. Nothing transferred from cal IMO and goff was a fish out of water and a horrible year.”

No compliments for you D…[Read more]

I’m just curious, how’s everyone feeling about Mahomes now?
