Last chance I have is Jackson to OAK.

Coach Brown: You ready?
Z: you know I'm ready.

Q: Can you talk about the relationship you were able to develop with Coach Brown during pre-draft visits.
Z: We were able to develop a little bit of a relationship
Coach Brown: Did things we asked. Didn't blink. Glad we got him.

Q: What does having McFadden and Zeke do for you?
Coach Brown: The strong gets stronger. Darren is a very mature man and understands what it is to be a role model and help Zeke to get to where he needs to be.

Q: Talk about how much pride and blocking ability you have
Z: Blocking has always been a part of my game. It's what I do to separate myself from other RBs. To be the best RB in America, that's what I had to do.

Wait, what?

I don't listen to that shit, but this bothers me.

 

[mcnuttz]

Even if it is recent, he's at least smart enough to pass his tests which is all I care about when it comes to weed

Fucking all-star OL and Elliott?

You've basically got the table set. At that point I'd be willing to mortgage it all for the best QB available next year.

 

[boozeman]

I embrace Zeke like I did Eddie George.

Surely, nothing bad will happen.

I don't get all the love Ramsey has. Maybe he's the next great thing, but every time I watched video of him... He was either standing still in a zone coverage looking around or blitzing the quarterback. Also his hands looked like skillets. I don't get it.

Or he was breaking on a ball and getting to the receiver after he is catching the ball. The best plays by Ramsey were the ones where he got beat by the TE and then caused a fumble during the tackle after. I really didn't see it with Ramsey. Maybe he will develop. Hell I didn't see shit out of Floyd either but he went to the Bears because he is tall and fast.

The NFL is so in love with size/speed I wonder where Emmitt would have been drafted if he played in todays era.

 

[GShock]

Myles Jack still around.

Did you read his own description of how his knee was degenerating?

 

[ravidubey]

But it coming out this late in the process is killer. Teams like to at least be able to vet the player out on issues before draft. Tunsil won't have the opportunity because of the timing.

This is just it. Likely he confirms it was several years ago, he's drug free, and he goes to Cleveland or Tennessee at 8.

Now because of this mean crap he's just fucked. Half the teams don't know what to do, at least not in the 1st round.

New England is soooo pissed right now. No way he'd get past them.

Q: What do you think of the RB position being devalued.
Coach Brown: RBs get devalued when you don't have one. You don't think you need one until it's 3rd and 1 or if you're at the goalline. Zeke went at #4 and deserved it. Gurley and Gordon got it started last year and Zeke's gonna continue.

Overall, Zeke didn't even get to talk....haha

Does it? Spagnola is infuriating but I don't disagree with him on this one.

Yes exactly. And I'm not even trying to say Jalen wasn't a top 10 pick, but I don't understand so called experts dogging us for passing on him for those very reasons.

 

[Cotton]

There went Tunsil. Good.

Celebration d00b?

 

[ravidubey]

Dolphins get a windfall

 

[1bigfan13]

I've heard a few people in recent days claim that if not for the knee injury Jaylon Smith would have been the best player in this draft.

Based on what? I certainly don't see it.

He was a good college player but certainly not an impact player who created game-changing plays.

 

[boozeman]

Tunsil will probably end up like Warren Sapp...enjoying a long prosperous career.

 

[1bigfan13]

Come on down to Miami, Laremy. We have that good kush down here.

I hope so. I am now really rooting for him.
