East-West Shrine Game Live Thread

oh wow really that early? yea theres no way fins will target him that early

 

You could also get Merling to shed the lbs. and get him to go to OLB. Draft Gilbert and you have a 34 end.

 

Phillips of TCU? I missed the play.

 

He basically said that since Hoyer had a good arm he was capable of making all the NFL throws which is why Todd deserves to be hit on the head with Vince Young.

 

Bear!!!!!!

 

You may be right. It wouldn't be the first time you were lol.

 

USC kicker nailed that one from 49yds...no problem.

 

my problem with that is, with us having Matt Roth doing that last year, i highly doubt the FO feels like Merling doing that would be the best move.

 

If there's consistency on the tape, I'd give him a shot to squeeze in. Might be exactly the kind of guy someone absolutely falls in love with.

 

Why not? He has the athleticism to do so. He's not as stiff as Roth.

 

By that I mean someone besides CK

 

Possibly Ireland? We'll see.

 

Another DE? Dunno. Wouldn't rule it out but I'd imagine we're looking at an OLB conversion player first.

 

I would think so as well. But with our roster and Vonnie Holliday starting at End and Roth at OLB, why wouldnt they have Merling play OLB from the beginning?

 

As I said earlier, make Merling do that.

 

Nice run by Marlon Lucky. Seems like he's been at Nebraska for like a decade.

 

M Lucky has some jets on him, he hit the hole and was gone.

 

Because he could provide the pass rush that we lack from Roth.

 

He hit a nice cutback but was caught from behind.

 

Dunno. Up until now, there's insane measurables, a great East-West Shrine week and an impressive highlight reel. I would think that scouts and GMs are looking for a bit more than a freakish athlete DE in round 1. Not saying he isn't, but I'm holding my breath until I've seen that tape Con promised.

 

After we've stuffed him like a turkey? Dunno man.

 

Lol. Man, it feels like he's been at Nebraska for so damn long though.

 

At SJSU ... as I said, I'm not saying he won't make it but I'd call the evidence a bit too circumstancial to call him a first round lock yet. I need a witness

 

Morgan Trent with the INT. Nice play.

 

He read his blocks well enough, then was looking around for someone to hit him..

 

Nice jump of the route.

 

I still can't get over Gilbert being the physical specimen that he is. 35 5/8-inch arms and 10 1/4-inch hands to go with a 40 inch vertical. And he's 6'5", 290. Holy hell.

 

Lucky Lucky. Here's a guy improving his stock in three carries.

 

He gets pretty damn erratic with his accuracy though. Watched him quite a few times this year.

 

Let's see what #89 does...ehh...pitch away from Mandeville, he looks awfully thin for a Te.

 

Nice play by Maiava.

RE: Aqua's post - True.

 

Mouton is a quick guy and that was a nice play by him.

 

Mouton did a nice job on that play, he jumped the route, put his body between the Wr and the ball, if the throw weren't high, he would have picked it.
