Was excited for veteran combine .......

TheCatch : 3/22/2015 8:53 pm
First off , NFL network is doing a shit job with this . Can't put my finger on why it seems so poorly put together but it seems like a High School coach pulled some cones out of the trunk of his car and said lets do this . Maybe a multi million dollar network will film this and people won't notice that our stop watches and whistles don't work. Why would they not use the same equipment for the draft combine ?

Also the players are all wearing some plain looking spandex sleeveless top with baggy gym shorts. They look like a bunch of slobs .

I'm sure my expectations were too high . I actually thought that some of these guys would shine . After years with NFL workouts and specialist training I was expecting some to run faster , look more agile and possibly make some of the rookies take notice like , damn , I better stay on top of my game ....these guys look good and they can't find a job on a team at 27 etc. etc.

These guys look slow , stiff and uncoordinated . How the heck does a HB who ran a 4.5 coming out of school time in the 5.0 range 4 years later .

Rant over , just sad it turned out so poorly . Ohhh and I'm really getting sick of hearing about Micheal Sam......
Feel better now?

nope , it's actually kinda sad for me . I had high hopes for some of these guys. Thought this was a great platform for these guys to prove they still belong
This combine

will give some of the players some closure. If they fail to impress and don't get any interest then they can move on with their lives.

yea I guess so ....they said Micheal Bush was in shock when they told him he ran a 4.92 forty . Meanwhile I'm thinking to myself , how the hell is he shocked ? Was he not training for this ? Did he really not go to a camp that specializes in combine training ? This is your last shot. Way to not show your best.

Just proves that obsessing over 10ths and 100ths is silly. Its will this dude do the right thing once hes in the league.
At least one player has drawn interest

@RavensInsider: Brandon Copeland said he talked with personnel from Lions, Bengals, Chiefs, Colts, Giants, Ealges and Titans after NFL veteran combine today

@RavensInsider: Former Ravens and Titans outside linebacker Brandon Copeland (Gilman) told me he ran a 4.52 at veteran combine, has four offers from teams
Nice

Now why wouldn't NFL network show more of that . Instead they spend 25 min. Of the hour talking about Micheal Sam and how he is just too slow ,stiff and undersized.

Glad to see this helped at least one player.
So basically we found out

Michael Sam is still slow as hell.. in fact he actually somehow got SLOWER...

The Catch's right, watched some of it and it was poor production

I too, was expecting a more normal combined coverage like we saw last month but it was more commentary of why some of those guys failed to make or stay on a roster. And yes, a lot of it was devoted to Sam.

I think they actually spend production money on their series, Undrafted. Some of the combine is covered on that series to show preparation for some select players who have real shots. I'm sure a player like Sam will be covered on that series.
