  1. I said “I don’t think this is true…” I didn’t reject the data. I was, “for the sake of argument,” trying to come up with a fact pattern that could make the stats correct but lead to a less obvious conclusion in certain circumstances. Of course PdM is correct.
  2. Interesting stats. I don't think this is true, but for the sake of argument: the gap between the fade and everything else is probably a lot smaller for exceptional QB-WR pairs than for the average. So for them the fade is a lot less obviously a bad play.
  3. I was surprised, but McShay had him in the first round. At the end of the first round, and only if he “continues to improve,” but that was the source.
  4. Point taken. Just meant it’s not necessarily a valid comparison between the average and Arch Manning and a first-round caliber receiver. Who cares if the average combination can only convert x play successfully y% of the time when you have Arch Manning and a receiver he trusts who have been working on the route all offseason?
  5. I don’t think this argument applies, unless you’re speaking generally. When you have a QB like Arch Manning and receivers like DeAndre Moore, averages aren’t always relevant. I would bet fades are relatively low-success in the NFL, too, but certain combinations—for obvious reasons Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison or Reggie Wayne comes to mind—can make a play work more often than mediocre players. (Of course the QB and receiver have to “like” the play in the first place, but I think I’m getting the point across.)
  6. Gerry mentioned recently Calicut is being recruited more as a LB than a S. He's big (6'3" on recruiting sites) and growing, and Gerry thinks he could play at or above 230 lbs.
  7. He'll be 100% football in college, per Gerry. But he's relatively raw and plays at a lower level of competition. He'd be a developmental take. He's also kin to (2026 RB) KJ Edwards somehow. His parents are from Carthage or something.
  8. I’m just interested in Owens’s progression. He made some nice throws in last season’s spring game, and he’s in an interesting position in that he could transfer either because he’s too good to wait behind Arch for two more years or because he’s too bad to stay ahead of Lacey.
  9. Shit, my bad. Thought he was part of the same class as Manning.
  10. I understand not wanting Lacey to have to play during his first year, but this is Owens's third year. Is Caldwell going to be third on the depth chart, or is Owens just not that good/not progressing as expected? Imo he would actually have to suck for Caldwell to be the obvious second-string guy.
  11. Sorry, not exactly related, but have any current or recent members of the UT roster attempted to start a podcast, like seemingly half of current NBA players have?
  12. For anyone curious to see for himself, Kent is discussed in the May 8 version of Coffee & Football, around the 15:00 mark. Gerry says he's 6'5", 287 lbs. now, but the HS staff thinks he'll actually play lighter, around 270-275, in college. And he doesn't mind being an in-line TE.
  13. So unless USC or someone else comes on late, are we almost certainly going to get Prothro or Bowman? They have the same top 2 (UGA) and I don’t think they’d want to be in the same class. And what’s up with Heze Kent—does he not want to play OL? Says he’s a TE on his X profile but seems like he’s going to be too big (weighs 260-300 depending on the source) to stick there long-term.
  14. Painfully unfunny
  15. It’s been mentioned by Jordan Reid at ESPN and Daniel Jeremiah at NFL Network that Scourton played the past season at 280 but trimmed down to 257 for the combine and predraft workouts. And not only so he could boost his times; he’ll play in the NFL closer to the latter number.
  16. Were we in on this kid at all? Southlake HS, committed to Ohio State yesterday. Fwiw, 247 has him as an inch taller and 28 lbs. heavier. https://www.on3.com/db/brock-boyd-151041/
  17. Didn’t we lose him to LSU at first because we wanted him at S, not CB?
  18. An athlete who tries to play QB?
  19. Sure, as an actual QB prospect. I just meant as a pure athlete, since Milroe’s athleticism, rather than anything he’s done as a QB specifically, is what’s going to get him drafted.
  20. He’s a poor man’s Anthony Richardson. His times and measurables are all lower, with the exception of 4.43 vs. 4.39.
  21. They're not overthinking it, this is just what they do. They claim their measurement for the accuracy of their rankings is the NFL draft, so every time there's a supposed toss-up like Ojo-Turntine they default to the kid with better traits/measurables. I think ctj mentioned this, but won't one or more of Turntine, Ojo, Greene, Roseborough, Krempin (if he's dead-set on tackle), and probably others eventually scare each other off? I doubt any of them wants to be the third tackle commitment in a class, and each probably has too may options to be pressured into taking a spot early. Good thing Flood's been in this position before.
  22. Wonder if he's any relation to Isaiah https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/CrowIs00.htm
