2011 Senior Bowl Analysis

by Steve

Gotta love "super secret" ways to get the NFL Network. The Senior Bowl in which our very own beloved Chan Gailey coached the South isn't stacked with a lot of talent; but this game is still worth watching especially with such an important draft for the Buffalo Bills this season.

What I saw
  • Von Miller was all over the freakin field. The guy still seems like a tweener or a better version or Arthur Moats at best but he showed a lot today. His ESPN page says he is 6'3 while Moats is 6'0 but I don't buy it.
  • Ricky Stanzi > Jake Locker
  • My boy Colin Kaepernick out of Nevada is crazy athletic but the hype surroudning him this week seemed a bit unfounded. With his pistol formation exclusively in college, he'll have to sit for a while before he can play
  • Colin McCarthy was getting a lot of love and got the high motor label, he'll be the next Paul Posluszney
  • Chan Gailey was loving DT Phil Taylor out of Purdue. So do I. Mayock was saying he has weight issues and off the field issues. I love it more.
  • Christian Ponder might have been the best QB and had two nice TD passes. He was also the MVP although Von Miller got snubbed in that voting.
  • WR Leonard Hankerson had a good day and looked big, like tight end big.
  • Matt Millen was an analyst at half time. That was an utter embarrassment for the NFLN.
  • There were a ton of drops all over the field today. Not an impressive WR corps for either team.
  • Iowa DT Christian Ballard and Miami DE/DT Allen Bailey were pointed out as rising
  • RB Bilal Powell was stabbed while in high school
  • Greg McElroy did basically nothing
  • Andy Dalton didn't impress. He is too much of a runner and was overthrowing the ball.
  • Hilarious sideline interview by Stacey Dales interviewing WR Jeremey Kerley "i'm taller than you, what do you say to scouts about your lack of size" ha
  • They probably mentioned OT Anthony Costanzo a million times
  • Put DL Ryan Kerrigan on your radar
  • Chan Gailey and the South 24 Marvin Lewis and the North 10. I guess we are better than Cincinnati.
