Senior Bowl Discussion

[xIceCOldxX]

Who will you guys be watching ?

I have never seen it before is it usually pretty good to watch ?

Im sure the players play fairly hard but I know most of what the coaches get is from practice.

I will be giving Dwayne Bowe a pretty good look he reminds me of a taller Hines and I think we could get him in the 3rd. (If we got lucky)

Defense I really really would like to see Patrick Willis the guy is a monster and could play in 4-3 and 3-4.

If we are sticking to the 3-4 then Carriker woodley are pretty high on my list

You can call me a homer for Penn State, but all I heard on Sirius all week long and on NFL.com was that Puz was having a great week, and could probably fit both a 4-3 or a 3-4 (the latter with some mentoring).

My pitch is that if he is versatile enough, he may also be a good pick if Tomlin decides in the next couple years to go with the 4-3.. Posluszny would theoretically be able to move into that scheme seemlessly.

I'd take a Penn State linebacker over an Ole Miss or a Michigan tweener anyday of the week... maybe I'm a homer, but the dude has the goods, is intelligent, is a Butkus winner, has shown he still has burst on that knee, and has had a great week at the Senior Bowl. I find it hard for any other prospect at linebacker to beat that, and I really don't think any of them can. I would really hate to see him land anywhere else but in black and gold.

Puz is my hope.

can anyone post their thoughts on this game later? in tampa you have to have verizon as your cable subscriber to get the nfl network - i'm with a company called brighthouse which doesn't have it, therefore i can't watch the game.

just curious to see what kind of impressions people got...if the steelers were talked about any. thanks!

I'm very impressed with CB/S Brandon Merriweather from Miami.

Yeah.. Merriweather has looked good all year and the past couple of years in Miami,Fla. I am a canes fan so I have gotten to watch him since he came in as a freshmen. He is very physical and is a good tackler. I think that he should be a late 1st round pick maybe somewhere in the Patriots area. I also like Carriker from Nebraska the big DE that looks like has lots of speed along with his pretty darn good size. And also I liked OT Levi Brown from penn st.

I've seen Bowe projected as an early second rounder. If he didn't have so many drops he'd be a top 15 pick.

I'm not really impressed with this years crop of corners. And Meriweather confirmed this with his play at the Senior Bowl. He supposed to be a safety,...but he looked far better in coverage on the occasions he was at the corner position than any of the "top" cornerbacks ?
I was also very, very surprised and impressed with Nebraska D/E Jay Moore. I think he would make an exceptional L/B in a 3-4.
