    Russ Lande's Top Prospect

    Actually the terminology/scale is really similar to what many NFL teams use (or at least used a few years ago). You can quickly categorize with the letters, so if you're a franchise that, say, doesn't like small players, you can filter them out easily. Less handy when you know the 300 draftable...

    Kenjon Barner RB

    Yeah... TDs don't equal power, especially not for Oregon. And that list of awards is pretty "meh", to be honest. I could see Barner developing into a good 3rd down back. But IMO he's like Michael Bennett. Track star speed and acceleration, but he doesn't have the leg drive to break tackles or...

    Best Seahawks "Flash in the Pan"

    Michael Boulware for sure. Although, with Pete as his coach, I think he'd be damn good. He was miscast in a scheme that played two deep safeties on almost every play. In the box, playing short zones far more often, his strengths would be amplified and his weaknesses minimized. He might have...

    Sacramento Kings message boards...

    I'm embarrassed that some Sonics fans are on those forums. We have no place there, and even offering condolences is misplaced. Just leave the Sac fans alone. Interesting to see that Kings fans are torn even on Evans and Cousins. Not good when your stars are controversial.

    NBA returning to Seattle?

    Wow. 525m for 65%? Hansen is not bargain shopping. If this is true, it's awesome news for us. I can't help but feel bad for the Sacramento fans, though. Nobody deserves an owner like the Maloofs.

    Alex Okafor is a LEO and should be on your early round radar

    Admittedly, just off youtube videos, I don't think Ansah is a fit at LEO, honestly. His first step isn't great and he has no pass rushing moves at the moment. He also looks like he has the frame to get bigger pretty easily. Not that he'd be bad there, but he's not the great fit you want from a...

    What football positions are your favorite to scout?

    OT, partially because I have scouted more OTs than any other position, but also because they're in every play and yet usually a position you can scout quickly (all the note-taking and charting I do on QBs is painfully slow). DT is probably my second favorite. Takes a little longer than OT, but...

    This team is missing a leader on defense.

    Note: The following is based off of interviews and tweets. So it's not based on much. ET and Wagner both strike me as quiet. Friendly and social, don't get me wrong, but they're not Ray Lewis. Both seem to be "lead by example" types, though. You need those type of guys to be great players. Red...

    Can we have some damn class

    The problem with posts like that are not that they offend, it is that they destroy any good conversation by making the thread about smack. And smack isn't banned - we have a freaking forum for it.

    Could Irvin be a 4-3 OLB?

    He was actually an end in college (3-4 end, but not a 2-gap player in that scheme), not a LB. I've never seen him in coverage - which is odd, given his athletic ability - so I suspect he's not very good in coverage. He is pretty solid at moving towards the ball against the run, and I think he...

    Chip Kelly staying at Oregon.

    I really hope you're right. But I doubt it lasts more than a couple years. I heard Nick Saban's name thrown around a little this year, Chip's NFL reputation is nowhere near as tattered as Saban's. Seahawks win and Chip stays. I thought Christmas was in December?

    Are you superstitious?

    Where's Roland? :) I bought an ET jersey before the second Cardinals game. And I didn't wear it during the Rams game, so of course I believe this jersey grants blowout victories. I also haven't washed it, just to be safe. FWIW (that'd be zero, btw), I bought a Walter Jones jersey right before...

    Josh McDaniels notifies teams he will stay at NE/not seek HC

    McDaniel's downfall as an OC with StL last year was that his offense is pretty complex, with practically every WR having a few route options on every play. IMO, it's a brutal offense to install with an inexperienced QB. Too many options for too many players to run when your QB is still trying to...

    Tyrelle Pryor sighting....

    Dude, I hate Pryor cause he dismantled Oregon in the Rose Bowl in (2010? Him and fricking Dane Sanzenbacher or whatever his name were 1st down machines). No Tressel needed. That loss, honestly, smarts more than the National Championship loss, and I still respond to Cam Newton with an involuntary...

    Tyrelle Pryor sighting....

    Calling me a Tressel fan is fightin words, Ryan. But I like the poor mans Cam comparison, a lot of similarities. Pryor is even faster. If I can, I will tune in. I haven't seen what the TV lineups are yet. Always does my heart good to see the Raider's lose, though. He'll do better than McElroy...

    Jason Taylor the latest Seahawk fan

    Are you the same Riggo who used to hang around these boards (back in the Scout days)? He/You was a cool dude, for a Skins fan. Seahawks fans should know better than to be cocky about ANY road game, never mind one against a good team. I think we'd be WAS 6+/10 times, but we've lost to worse. If...

    Tyrelle Pryor sighting....

    I agree it was out of bounds, said so at the time. I'm actually surprised that it stood, because it sets one hell of a precedent for every troubled athlete. I'm not as harsh on the NFLPA as you are, but this instance was pretty bad. Though Pryor was a little ***** for how handled it as well. I...

    Is it close between Arian Foster and Adrian Peterson?

    Stats aren't really similar? Peterson has 20 less carries but 500 more yards. And clearly you're new. This is nowhere close to "too stupid" for .Net :) I don't see why it's close. Foster is fantastic, like you said, but Peterson is gunning for 2000 yards, playing without much help at all...

    Tyrelle Pryor sighting....

    How did the NFL screw him over? No team would care about the 6 game suspension, because no team planned to play him in the first six games anyways. Did I miss something else? I'd really like Pryor to be a good QB, because he has a ton of talent (killer HS basketball player too) and he's fun to...

    Update on sherman

    Like so much of what you've posted in this thread, wrong. You don't have to prove your innocence when you appeal, you challenge the legality of the "conviction" (since this isn't a court of law, that'd be the suspension). In this case, Sherman is charging that the evidence (the urine) shouldn't...
