re: what is moffit doing

if we don't put guys into the NFL, recruiting will dry up

People like you have been singing that song for way too long. Ever since I joined the Rant in the spring of 2004, people on here have been insisting that our players' poor performances in the combines were going to cripple our recruiting. And yet, here we are 5 years later with another top rated recruiting class. The proof is in the pudding. Moffitt has been here for a long time, and whatever the impact his program has on the combine performances, it absolutely is not interfering with us pulling in talent at the highest level. Why do you keep ignoring these facts and pretending that this "issue" is going to hurt our recruiting (other than your usual mission to stir up more arguments and generate more post traffic)?

The "functionally strong' part is how I think of Moffit.

i understand this

but when a coach says a player like bradie james (who was no workout wimp at LSU) is too weak to lay for him, and then drafts spears, who again, was too weak to play for him, it's telling

and as far as dorsey's year, his horrible (according to KC writers) technique was just as much a part of it as his athleticism. but he was supposed to be a tommie harris-like disrupter

But I'd expect the requirements for the players in college football to be much more similar to the requirements of players in college football

and the combine compares college players to college players

Chevis Jackson was not expected to run as fast as Cason and Flowers, 4.55 is around what they ran.

flowers wasn't a burner, and he ran as expected

cason ran like a 4.45 after having speed worries

quote:

---

If you call 4.55 slow you are really out of touch.

it's slow for a CB in the NFL

And yet Chevis was selected in the begining of the third round (almost into the second) and looked good as a rookie backup CB, go figure.

Cason ran a 4.49 combine officially, Flowers a 4.55, and yet both were drafted high and looked very good as rookies, go figure. It appears the NFL and reality disagrees with your ideas of what works/is needed in the NFL.

flowers was mediocre as a rookie, but he was coached by herm edwards, so who knwos what he will do

a move to safety is possibly in the works

and chevis didn't even start, so let's not get all up on him just yet

flowers's problem is also his height. he's like 5-9

i do know that bill parcells called out bradie james and marcus spears as both being very weak as rookies

are you going to argue with bill parcells?

---

Hey SloFlopro, why didn't Billy Parcells have access to Marcus Spears combine numbers? If Spears was so "Weak" as you say, why did Parcell's draft him in the 1st round?

Furthermore, why hasn't he traded either of them?

jerry jones drafted him in the 1st round

well james spent that year to gain NFL strength

spears is perpetually on the cutting block

I have never seen this many idiots posting on something that they have ZERO knowledge of.

Every expert that apparantly knows about getting players NFL ready, need to fax their resumes immediately to the office of Les Miles.

Nick Saban, Lane Kiffen and the other numerous coaches that have tried to hire Moffit, apparently have no F^&*(ing idea what they are doing.

Everyone please talk about something you have a clue on.
