Oh man, yikes.

According to the scouts ragging on him he shut out Will Anderson, had good tape, good senior bowl, good combine and interviewed well. If he can do all that while being lazy he's a round 1 draft pick while being lazy. Heck, if they actually believe all that nonsense they should draft him top 5 for the upside of how good he might be if he suddenly gets motivated.

Totally agree with the others it's misinformation to try to draft him. Maybe there's a grain of truth in there somewhere but if he was really lazy he wouldn't excel in an offense where he has to run downfield after a first down and hike the ball in less than 10 seconds. Our offense is very hard on lineman and definitely not a good one for lazy lineman.

Khan is the kind of gm that doesn’t seem like he lets much info get out of the facility…. That’s why I doubt any of the noise out there…. Especially since none of it is coming from the Steelers media personalities….If he does decide to trade with the Bears…. I am 100% confident he will get a good deal… that man has been on point so far.

Uh huh. Unfortunately for tight ships, information isn't stored in only one cargo hold. If they're gnoshing with one or more teams on potential deals, hints get dropped around those who make a living speculating about such. And I'm sure his goal is to get the best possible deal for his team. UNFORTUNATELY (once again) there's some give and take in that process. IF they really want to move up for a player? Much more give than take.

There are no good deals when trading up in the first half of the 1st round of the NFL draft unless you get lucky and end up with a generational talent like Mahomes. There are very few of those, and none of them in this draft, IMO.

Darnell Wright is so lazy that he didn't transfer to another school after his coach got fired and the program got nuked and decided to stick around and play two years in the fastest offensive scheme in the country against the best defenses in the country that he shut down every single weekend.

A scheme where, if you aren't conditioned mentally and physically, you'll have blocking breakdowns due to exhaustion and you'll hold the team back because you're slow to the line.

Gtfo "scouts"

It's kinda like Jeff Simmons. Was supposed to be a Top 5 pick then all of a sudden they dug up a video of him body-slamming a grown woman (he was 18) who was attacking his mom.

Those teams weren't actually concerned with his character, they wanted him to drop. He dropped to the Titans.

Insert Leremy Tunsil weed smoking picture on draft night.

Now the highest paid OL in the league right?

 

[Vol423]

I tend to think that the "lazy" individual in this instance is the idiot NFL scout that didn't spend more time crafting a more believable story when leaking his disinformation to try to get Darnell Wright to fall in the draft.

Do you think we have a legitimate shot with Knecht?

Word is its a combo deal. He has a twin brother, Kon, I think?

I cant recall it. Any you morans help? Kon/Knecht?

He wasn’t just smoking weed. He had a specialized gas mask apparatus to aid him in such. Others would say that this was a knock against him, I see it as a credit to his ingenuity and creativity.

Still, let’s not play like it was just a picture of him lighting a joint out on the back porch.

They won't release info. But if it's good, we'll hear sooner. If it's not going our way, UT will want to delay till summer, hoping for advantageous rule changes or reinterpretations. Only one violation matters to UT: reducing the Failure to Monitor to take the harshest penalties off the table.

That's why Sankey was there-- to protect UT from punishments that would impact the conference/postseason and/or unfairly punish current coaches and players for the malfeasance of those no longer with the program. And UT brought a legal platoon to show that unfair treatment will be met with resistance from a university that can afford to escalate and is backed by a powerful conference that will stand behind its member institutions.

About time we took a stand!! LETTUCE GO!!!

Thank you!!!

I mean it is from hendons dad so..

What? It was about Jeudy-Lally. Anyway, you want the press to be searching for positive news not the negative so I hope they do interview Hendon’s dad.

Fat NFL contracts tend to motivate

Depends. Al Haynesworth was motivated to do as little as possible after his fat Redskins contract. And he will straight up tell you that.

I’d like to see some data to back that up. Til then, I’d file that under personal theory.

Ouch - baseball team feels like the pre-Tony V years. They just looked lost right now. No fun to watch!

It appears there's no team chemistry and it might have something to do with the younger guys having more talent than the upper-class men.

He is also crazier than a sh!thouse rat

 

[Orange_Crush]

I always liked Wright but I've been wrong on players before. It just seems harsh but then I read it again. In one sentence they say he has tiny hands and in the next talk about how strong his hands are.

Different scouts quotes.
