No interest in Willis. Get Watson/Wilson or kick the can down the road.

Heroes live long enough to become the villain.

I see the Allen comparison.  I don't see the same speed that Lamar has. He would be a project QB where you hope he's a lot better in 3 seasons.  

I wouldn’t say he had the same speed, but he should be faster than Allen. Willis supposedly ran a 4.37 at Auburn.

I am surprised Leftwich hasn’t received more attention.

   Well, it was nice while it lasted.   Bye DaVonta.  We hardly knew ye.  

 

Seriously though, that is why he's still 100 lbs soaking wet.   Dude needs to eat more cheesesteaks.    

I’m not really a believer in EPA based almost solely on Jimmy G scoring well there, but interesting nonetheless.

How did they define 'success'?

From what I read a few days ago he was only focused on the Jaguars job and wasn't taking any other interviews.

I’m not sure, to be honest.

This is an interesting point. If they made rule changes to take away some of the advantages of the passing game, they'd bring up the importance of defense and the running game, encouraging a more diverse applicant pool (compare: racial makeup of QB coaches vs. RB coaches).

I'm guessing this would be as likely as my getting a date with Pam Anderson in her prime, but still an interesting point.

I never really thought of it as it pertains to ethnicity of coaches and the applicant pool, but you are right.

The NFL is dominated by the passing game and its coordinators.  If that's not your responsibility or background, you aren't a HC candidate.

If you allow the other aspects of the game to catch up, there would be a better pipeline to higher coaching ranks for RB, LB, DL, DB players and coaches.  Right now, the only perspective that matters are the design of the passing game...everyone wants Mcvay.

IMO, if running were a viable way to build an NFL team, Duce would have been a HC 2 years ago.  No one trusts a former RB and career-long RB coach to build up the pass attack.  His job was coaching up RBs and deciding the rotation.

Yes he is squirter. 

 

Wack it for Willis

He's right, of course.  Bread, cheap meat, cheap cheese, and so few places make a good one.  I visited my mom recently in Doylestown amd not one place had a halfway decent one.  Place I grew up going to, Nats Pizzeria, theirs was gross.  My grandparents lived a few blocks from Delassandros and that has always been my favorite.

Yeah... I don't know what you are talking about.   A proper cheesesteak is shaved ribeye and sharp provolone.  Neither is cheap.  If you go with the tourist crap and whiz and frozen beef that's basically steak-um... then yeah.  But that's not a cheesesteak, that's garbage.

There are definitely things to work with here, but he needs to sit and learn for at least a year.  But, this is the type of raw potential that teams bet on.  But he's a 3rd round pick for me.  

I agree on the round. You cant take a guy like this in round 1. Especially the top half of round 1 like hes been projected. 

I suspect/hope this is a bunch of fan and media over-reaction to Josh Allen's playoff run. I am thinking that NFL teams may be laughing at everyone right now. And you see Willis picked faaar below his projection on draft websites.

Then again, it could be another Trey Lance scenario. He had no business going as high as he did either.

 

 

Why does the ProBowl skills competition include dodgeball? 
 

And Hunter Renfrow/Justin Jefferson is a part of the precision passing competition? What am I watching?

Really? Good move.

Renfrow won a thrilling 1 to 0. 

Allbright is good for these things. I bet on Lance going top 3 last year in March and got good value when the mocks had Mac Jones.

Allbright saying 3-4 QBs going RD1 is against concensus of the media saying the QBs are bad.

Mac Jones scored 9

Russell Wilson scored 29

Any good articles out there yet on potential FA targets for the Eagles?  Who are those 2nd or 3rd level free agents that are in their 20's that Howie likes to target like Malcon Jenkins, Rodney McCloud and Javon Hargrave.  Who are the bottom tier FA LBs that Howie will get on a cheap deal and it has only ever worked out with the Bradham signing?  

@Iggles_Phan

Apparently they defined success as getting a second contract, which I wouldn’t necessarily agree with, but whatever.

Yeah... that's something, I guess.  But for a first round QB, you would hope for more.   Thanks.

Have to see what Albright has to say this year.
