NFL Thread

[trendon]

During NFL Network's coverage of the NFL Scouting Combine on Saturday, host Rich Eisen talked about an interview Mariucci held with Winston for a segment that was featured on NFL Total Access on Saturday. In the segment, Mariucci asked Winston to diagram and analyze a play at the board.

Eisen said Mariucci called Winston "the most astute X's and O's guy that he's ever put on the board" for his draft breakdowns.

"He was not only answering the questions that Steve was throwing at him but anticipating what that question might lead to next and answering that question before Steve even posed it," Eisen said.

NFL Media analyst Mike Mayock said Mariucci's comments were in line with what he had heard about Winston's football IQ and work ethic, which he has been told are "off the charts."

I have a hard time believing this article. Reason being is how can anyone understand Winston in the first place? Anyone saying they fully understand him is lying.

When he speaks normally, he is fine. It is when he decided he wanted to sound like Ray Lewis is when he loses me.

Thought Philly's was pretty nice. Didn't really like the Giants, probably un-American of me...

I thought they were all pretty cool. Only couple i balked at a little was Giants and "texans"

I'm with you guys on the Giants. Why do they get the market for the Red White and Blue? Shouldn't that be NE, they are the Patriots.

Because the Giants have been around a lot longer.

The Cowboys are America's team anyways.

Or so I have been told.

Did you get the ice blanket the weather channel was calling for in that area of Texas?

[Cnasty]

I am not sure what an ice blanket is a former native Floridian but its been non stop sleet and cold weather since last night.

Seemed to easy so I went with naivety on that one

If so, yes. The news cracks me up because it has this Thunder Truck with special tires and it has reports from inside this Thunder Truck going 50-70 on the highways showing road conditions.

Everything is bigger in Texas, including our new, state-of-the-art storm chase truck, now officially named the Texas Thunder Truck.
Thunder Truck is a customized extended Ford F-250 Super Duty loaded with innovative, groundbreaking technology that will allow it to chase and report live from any Texas weather event.
The heavy duty suspension, custom bumpers and commanding stance reflect the fact that Thunder Truck was not simply designed to cover the aftermath of a storm, but to actually chase and report the storm as it is happening.
It has three HD point of view cameras that can point in any direction and it can transmit dual HD streams while driving on or off road. Thunder Truck even has it's own Twitter account, follow along @TXThunderTruck.
The truck's name was sent in by an NBC 5 viewer who submitted her suggestion along with more than 2,200 entries in our Name the Truck Contest.
Here’s more from the team that built Thunder Truck, Accelerated Media Technologies, Inc.
An industry first onboard radar system gives viewers a local view of the exact conditions at the live truck.
Viasat’s KA Band service has been mated to (2) of Dejero’s VSETS to provide the FIRST DUAL PATH KA/Cell Bonded Vehicle in existence.
Among a host of new technologies reserved for KXAS’s viewers, the truck supports 2 Ghz microwave, a 35’ mast, ultrasonic weather gear, Mobile Threat-Net software and Wireless POV Cameras in every direction.
Our 5KW Victron Inverter Power System (V.I.P Ultra +) is combined with a MEPS System to give the truck dual/redundant power sources and an ability to generate 5KW of power at any speed (or with the engine off).
Of course the truck has ample storage and a heavy duty antenna platform rated for severe weather operation.
NO ONE in the region has a more powerful weather resource.

That's awesome! Up here when there is threat of snow, the reporters all station out in locations and show the close ups of the roads and area. What happens most of the time is the threat of snow is huge, but very little of the region gets it. So they are out in force and they title the storms. "President's Day Storm 2009!" and I think we got 2 inches of snow that melted by noon...

[Cnasty]

I thought you would get a ton of snow up where you are.

The vets of this area called this one bad compared to what they usually get which is only one real good ice/snow storm a year. The "ice blanket" is like a skating rink on the roads. I was driving about 20mph and felt my big truck get a little squirrely and needed to slow down.

No, not in Puget Sound area. This winter in particular has been very mild and alot warmer than winters I can remember. What's going to happen though is my baseball season starts next Monday and the rains will hit.

It's because of 9/11, plain and simple.

Supposedly there were rumors yesterday of a Dez Bryant video that is "ray rice like" but said to be "5 times worse"

There was allegedly a deadline set for today, not sure why a deadline, but nonethless it is now rumored that screenshots from the video have been sent to news outlets.

I'm not sure if this is coming from anywhere super reliable, but things could get interesting.

I've read that too. It wouldn't surprise me from him. Isn't he the same guy that assaulted his mother?

Wouldn't it be really interesting if this supposed video was leaked and it turned out it was leaked by DeMarco Murray's people?

[Cnasty]

All over the news here of course due to contract negotiations.

Gonna be fun!

After watching the media fistfuck itself with the whole deflated footballs thing, I will wait to pass judgement on Bryant.
