SupaBran Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 If true, and I have no reason not to believe you, great story and facts to back up what I was saying; just b/c you don't see it doesn't mean it is not happening every game. The game hasn't changed, just the technology covering has. Great story BengalPimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pidge Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 ***Not discussing the Spikes incident anymore*** General comment.Yeah, this thing used to happen all the time in rugby too. Not since TV coverage became so good, about 15 yrs ago, has it been prevalent though. If this happened more often then the cameras would pick it up guaranteed. Not a single incident goes by in rugby of this, even the subtlest of attempts, without a camera picking it up now. The cameras in the NFL & CFB are far more numerous than even in rugby. So to say gouging specifically happens in most piles still is bogus I'm afraid. I'm not debating this, I'm stating a fact. Deal with it and move on.

Pidge Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I was laying down the law. But kudos to Spikes for at least doing something about it, even if I'm not convinced it was for the right reasons. At least he did something, unlike someone else who shall remain namelessURBAN MEYERDid you manage to get a look at Myron Lewis btw Supa?

At least he did something, unlike someone else who shall remain namelessURBAN MEYERDid you manage to get a look at Myron Lewis btw Supa?I did get a look at Myron Lewis and I must say...I was fairly impressed. He made a couple of plays but its hard to tell how good he could be on a good team b/c he plays for such a terrible team. I would consider it a steal if we got him in the 3rd though.Excuse me, Pidge...I agree with you Spikes did do the appropriate thing and he shouldn't have been the one to do it but don't jump on my man Urban. While he should have been the one to suspend him for a full game especially vs. Vandy but he wasn't the only one making the decision. Coach Meyer discussed what he should do with the athletic director and SEC officials and they all agreed on a half a game suspension.I was just pointing that out! But I don't want to turn this back into that kinda thread... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pidge Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I was only jabbing at you. Yeah, I liked the look of Lewis when I saw him earlier this yr. Got nice size and quick enough. Would certainly eat up a lot of space in our secondary. Maybe maybe he falls to the 3rd. I'll be screaming at the TV for the Bengals to grab him if he's there. There's a chance he does as Berry and Mays will take up most of the headlines with Major Wright also getting some love. The fact that he plays on a pretty bad team helps the chances.

Pidge Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 I've completely changed my mind. If Miami is serious about taking the Wildcat on for at least 50% of each game then there is only one guy who can effectively run the scheme and make it a serious weapon. Yup, Tim Tebow. He could find some real success with it at the next level and it's the only really sane destination if he really doesn't want to change positions at the next level.The kind of guy that Tuna likes as well. A graduate and a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pidge Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 B. Johnson and Jeanty really make the draft easier. No need to panic about the OLB spot - just get them re-signed if needed and then see what falls our way in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazkal Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 So what do Safetys look like after Berry & Mays,Any good ones that have chance being there late in the 1st?I'd be fine with Ndukwe as future & Roy as depth...But if the right guy is on the board wouldn't mind taking SS...Though I think Guard still geta targeted early for Bobbies Replacement unless they feel he can go 1-2 more years well they develop shirly or another young linemen.

A little raw and plays on a crappy team (so hopefully he's overlooked) but he's the next best thing to Mays in terms of size and speed. 6-3 210 and a 4.5 40 time. He'd be a FS though.A SS candidate might be Woodall from Bama. Should be available in the middle rnds. 6-2 220 lbs and 4.5 40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He, Lewis and Woodall would all be great pickups if they're sitting there in the 3rd. Not sure about going for him in the second, Stuckey would be my preference if we were to go for a safety that high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupaBran Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 I don't know who Nate Allen or Stuckey...and Woodall isn't worth anywhere earlier than a 5th round pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pidge Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Not sure why I put Woodall in there, his coverage skills are practically non-existent. That drops him to the 4th/5th rnd at best. Still, he has the potential to be a workout warrior. He might go 1st overall to the Raiduhs if he can blitz the 40 yd dash.Nate Allen plays for USF, I'll make sure to have a specific look at him when the Canes play them. He's caught the eye before though. Stuckey plays for Kansas and will most likely be in the top 3 or 4 safeties taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pidge Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I think Mays might drop to the lower half of the 1st, maybe do a bit of a Rey in the draft. Staying in college hasn't helped his draft status at all, it might have hindered it in fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
