Nah, Bradford will be back again only to get injured. So that average will be 6 to 7...

In all seriousness though, that defense is pretty stout so not sure they would go more defense unless they had a trade in mind. They need some offensive tools. But they are a scary defense. Just look at what they do to the NFC West teams, never easy to win in St. Louis.

Can't imagine receiving that application as a manager. Would have immediately thought it was a joke.

Smart kid which is shocking considering where he went to college.

To be honest I would be uneasy with taking Clowney, I have serious doubts about if he has it in him to put in the work needed to be the player gms are hoping he will be.

He benched less than most combine participants. But damn he's fast...

Also comments made in the past, cannot find the article at the moment, that he really didn't like football and it was just a job for him. Reported as being late to meetings frequently as well. It's not just one thing, it's a combination, and I think they add up to a kid who really isn't passionate about playing in the NFL, and I believe that is something you really need to make the sacrifices required of an elite athlete.

if Clowney wasnt interested he would of skipped the combine and just did a work day. Instead he destroyed the 40. His bench press was down. You know what bench pressing means? absolutely nothing. Who gives a shit what Spurrier thinks/says. Clowney was touted as the #1 pick last yr. He just didnt care. I wouldnt care either if I knew I was a lock for a top pick. I'd coast the final year, make sure I dont get injured ala Lattimore, and get drafted high.

How can you say bench means nothing? He is a DE! Creating separation from the offensive player is necessity. Oline guys are getting fast too and just speed isn't going to get it done these days.

Im saying bench press means absolutely nothing. NFL.com graded Clowney a 7.5, closest is 7.1 (Watkins) then like 6.7. This is after the bench press. That goes to show you how little bench means to scouts. This is all just a spectacle for the fans at this point. When do players run 40 yards? when do they run it without equipment? do these tests take into account fatigue in the 4th q? seldom, no, no. How many DTs run 40 yards in a game let alone a play? its just another thing to break 2 players down if theyre similar. Clowney is generational.

theyre just basic basic tests. The important things at the combine the public cant see like the interviews.

All that bench shows is that he only performed well in the things that he gave a shit about. You're right, bench isn't a HUGE issue one way or the other, but the fact that he didn't give a shit is. If he's picking and choosing what he gives a shit about now, will he do it later? That's what people are worried about.

I could care less. He's a freak, and if he decides to be a freak, he's going to beast. It's just that "decides" part that will worry a lot of people

I think they officially took over the worst unis in the NFL. Wow are these ugly

look as ugly/similar to Marylands

From the front, the big flags make it look like they have horns on the helmets.

If the number font wasn't so stank it might not be that bad

the moment i saw these i thought "maryland under armour knock offs". the red/yellow shit on the legs is essentially the same

Definitely the worst part as those numbers are atrocious. 2nd is the entire helmet size logo on the side.
