PrintNFL Combine time.
Unfortunately I do not get the NFL Network, but if I was the Pelican Whore, I'd be on my knees beggin' to please whoever could make that dream a reality.
But I'm not, and I have Mediacom, so I'm SOL.
Bring all your Hawkeyes (Even non-Stanzi Hawkeyes) NFL Combine comments here.
Hawkeyes invited to the Combine this year: Christian Ballard, Adrian Clayborn, Ryan Donahue, Jeremiha Hunter, Karl Klug, Allen Reisner, Tyler Sash, Ricky Stanzi and Julian Vandervelde.
GETTING TO KNOW STANZI - video from NFL Network. QB IS SERIOUS BIZNESS.
Interview with Ryan Donahue - some general questions re: Combine. Nothing too surprising, but it's still exciting to see these guys there.

You know I used to hate the people who would shill for Tebow...
Then I found a group of people who are even more annoying. Tebow hate is probably the most annoying attribute of some college football fans. Which is a problem, because its been 2 years since Tebow played college football.
I think if the media had left him alone after he left Florida to ride the pine in Denver, alot of the hate would have subsided.
The fact that when the Broncos are mentioned, the only person shown is Tebow. Understandably, Denver is short on big names to flash around, but the guy only got a shot to play at the end of the season because a top 5 draft choice was pretty much inevitable. The media’s love of all things Timmy is probably dwarfed only by the love bestowed upon Farve by Madden. It’s just sickening because Tim hasn’t done a damn thing in the NFL.
Wow, didn’t realize I had that much Tebow hate.
This. Just wait until he starts next season, which I guarantee he will. It will be all Tebow, all the time.
I don’t really hate Tebow.
Until he opens his mouth.

I don't know that he'll start.
John Fox has already stated that Orton is the starter in Denver. Tebow may start by year’s end, but I think the week 1 starter will be the pride of Altoona.

by Eyeheartfreedumb on Feb 25, 2011 6:54 PM CST up reply actions
I think a lot of the hate
can be pegged to the fact that despite the fact that he’s no longer playing college football, Tebow gets mentioned during every ESPN college football broadcast. I don’t hate him, I just hate hearing about him.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
Exactly
Anytime a QB runs the ball for 10 yards it’s “That’s a Tebow like run”. You don’t hear anyone saying “That was a Grigsby like drop” after WR drops a pass do you? Outside of BHGP that is.

I have read your replies and have decided that
That Tebow haters are still more annoying. (Mainly because he didn’t get mentioned during the Hawkeye games last year, and I can generally avoid games where he might come up.) Yet he I come to a Hawkeye blog, with a Hawkeye post about the NFL Combine, and I get a tantalizing grab bag link, and it has nothing to do with the Hawkeyes, or the Combine. Seriously give it a rest.
To be honest, I didn't actually watch any of the links above.
My reply was only to yours about TT. While he wasn’t mentioned on most Hawkeye games, you couldn’t watch anything about the NFL without running into something related to him. When he’s done something in the league, they can talk about him all they want, but do we really need to see his Friar Tuck haircut for a week and a half solid? That’s where my dislike of him stems. And him crying is just funny.
It's not like whenever there's a big kid in the Little League World Series

I'm pretty sure most "Tebow haters" don't actually hate Tim Tebow
But rather the people that continue to discuss his awesomeness even after moving on to the NFL. He may not have been mentioned during any Iowa games, but most of us watch a lot more college football than just those that include the Hawkeyes, and Tebow was still mentioned quite a bit for someone that doesn’t play at this level. You can complain about the people you consider “haters” all you want, so long as you acknowledge that the Tebow apologists are just as annoying.

MasCasa tweeted that Stanzi was recorded at 6'4, 223 lbs.

So basically Tom Brady. He's 6'4", 220. Peyton is 6'5" 230.
Size won’t be the obstacle that is in the way for Stanzi. If he makes all the throws Sunday and interviews well, he could make some upward movement on the draft boards.
That's what I'm hoping.
But 2010 Stanzi had the tendency to overthink things under pressure. I’m hoping the 2011 Stanzi is a new and improved model. Or really just 2009 Stanzi without all those interceptions.

Not really.
Stanzi had a better year than Clayborn this year.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
I'm eager to see how Clayborn performs at the Combine.
It seems like he worked out really hard in Arizona, but I think he still has bad habits. I’m worried he’ll get too of shape to be effective when it counts (see last year). But we’ll see.
by stanzi's ex-girlfriend on Feb 25, 2011 3:45 PM CST up reply actions
I still have a hard time believing that Clayborn was flat-out not in shape at the end of last season.
What the Wisconsin fullback may have done to his knee could very well have affected his ability to run conditioning drills during practice. Obviously this would have caused him to be out of shape, but I don’t think it’s a result of AC being lazy.
Now that he’s had ample time to recover, I think he’s going to shock some people with his athleticism.
by The Mexican't on Feb 25, 2011 4:34 PM CST up reply actions
I hope so.
It seems very weird to me that there was never a story after the season where he came out and said “Yeah, I was never the same after that Wisco guy rolled up on me during the season. I didn’t want to say anything because I didn’t want to make excuses or have other teams target my leg or whatever.” I think people would have been understanding about that.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
I also think that he got unfairly blamed last season
for what amounted to d-line strategy. I think people saw him not rushing in certain instances against mobile qb’s and thought he was lazy, when in fact I’m pretty sure they were holding him back to cut off the draw or qb run.
"The challenge is the same every year. The battle is in-state. The battle is the Big 10 Conference. The battle is national. The battle is planet Earth. And if they find life out there, then the battle will be universal." -Tom Brands
I recall Indiana developing a great scheme around Clayborn.
They simply chipped him with the LT and had the FB or RB waiting in the backfield to throw a second block. Considering how quickly Chappell was releasing his throws, Clayborn never had enough time to reach him. He spent a good portion of his day in the backfield, but was almost always just half a second too slow.
by The Mexican't on Feb 25, 2011 4:41 PM CST up reply actions
Yeah
I watched the guy a fair amount last year. I really think that the difference in his numbers had a lot to do with qbs being able to through to open short routes a whole lot. The LBs struggled.
"The challenge is the same every year. The battle is in-state. The battle is the Big 10 Conference. The battle is national. The battle is planet Earth. And if they find life out there, then the battle will be universal." -Tom Brands
This (and Mexi up there)
And as far as D-Line strategy, I was screaming during the bowl game. I really wish they would have seen how they’d taken Adrian out by doing the same thing Indiana did. If all of a sudden we’d had AC line up and then drop back in coverage to a LB position (and maybe I’m insane for thinking this) I think it would have fucked Mizzou’s game up.
Suddenly you have two guys devoted to one AC, and they have nothing to do (two guys going “derp, who do I block” at least for a play or two until they adjust), and this would have also allowed our CBs to cheat up a little more because they wouldn’t have had to cover so much of the middle (which, with out LB woes, they were doing all year practically).
You’d still have your three DL guys going for the QB, but Gabbert was releasing so quick most of the time that it didn’t matter, plus the receivers (hopefully) would have had less open looks for easy catches (a net win). I’m just glad they pulled it out at the end. That team needed a good ending.
by Eyeheartfreedumb on Feb 25, 2011 7:15 PM CST up reply actions
My only problem (even at the time) is that I don't know all of the rules
so I’m not sure if everything in my fantasy adjustment was legit. Whatever, I’m certainly not smarter about football than the coaches, so fuck it. Plus, I love Norm and would never question him (not fer reelz at least- – just when drunk around midnight on a tuesday, while desperate for a win).
by Eyeheartfreedumb on Feb 25, 2011 7:19 PM CST up reply actions
While I agree that I think they devoted more of their coverage on AC this season...
…from the lessons they learned the hard way in ‘09, I think part of the reason he was so gassed was simply because he was out of shape. I mean, the dude’s obsessed with food. Some dudes can be big and still make the plays, but I think if AC got in better shape and replaced some of the fat with muscle he’d be more formidable than he already is. I think he’s gotten there because he mentioned he couldn’t even remember the last time he had been at his current weight (since working out in AZ).
I just hope he stays in shape.
by stanzi's ex-girlfriend on Feb 25, 2011 8:35 PM CST up reply actions
It is hard for me to believe he was out of shape
simply because it would mean that certain players were allowed to start every game of a season without even putting forth a basic level of effort toward preparing themselves for D1 college football, whereas other players (whose on-field performance never indicated a lack of effort or preparation) where constantly derided and punished seemingly for not showing commitment to the program.
If AC was out of shape, then that had to be on him and he should not have been playing.
"The challenge is the same every year. The battle is in-state. The battle is the Big 10 Conference. The battle is national. The battle is planet Earth. And if they find life out there, then the battle will be universal." -Tom Brands

It appeared without Angerer and Edds
and with the carnage we had at LB the D-line wasn’t given the green light to attack as much as we would have liked. They had to play restraint football knowing the linebackers wouldn’t be able to clean everything up like ’09.

…Wednesday night I took my kid to the library at Westdale Mall and as we are leaving he wanted to ride the escalator. As we are about to step on the upward bound stairs I hear the first happy jangling rhythms of “Everybody.” I start to sorta bop on the step and my son noticed (and he LOVES to dance) so he starts bopping too.
Well, this was going to be a single roundtrip ride on the escalator, but the novelty of hearing Junior/Senior over the speakers in the ghost mall of Cedar Rapids was just too much, so we rode up and down with our dancing becoming more and more pronounced until the last “yeah” by which point we were dancing so much it was like a Jamiriquai video with a two year old.

He likes Tom Brady. There are things worse than that (Liking Hitler, liking “Faces of Death: Puppies”, etc) but it’s a bridge too far for me.
Stop the Stanzi Express steam engine, Rambler’s taking the bus from now on.

What's wrong with Tom Brady?
I like Tom Brady.
At least he’s not like Tony Romo with those beady little eyes of his. I think he’s a klepto.

You forgot being the living incarnation of smarmy.
As well as being a porter for his wife (sorry, I don’t care who she is or what she looks like).
Although maybe that’s his purse. Who can say?
If carrying your wife's purse when it gets heavy is a crime then send me to the gallows as well
Oh… oh wait. That’s definitely a man-purse. I’ll never be guilty of that. Carry on with the ridicule of Mr. Brady

I couldn't get my husband to carry my purse even when i was pregnant.
But yeah, but if TB is whipped, he’s a little less cool. He’s still better than Romo, who gets negatives for beady eyes, raising his leg up excessively before a snap, and dating Jessica Simpson, who may or may not have been pooped on by John Mayer.

Stanzi just ran a blazing 40 time
4.93. They had to stop the drill to allow the fire department to come in and extinguish the blue flames left behind.

Stanzi's not much of a runner, so I'm not surprised.
As long as he doesn’t throw himself down on the turf and start having a tantrum or doing coke in the bathroom there’s not much here he can do that will hurt him. No one expects that much out of him to begin with, and one could argue that’s the best position to be in.
by stanzi's ex-girlfriend on Feb 27, 2011 11:23 AM CST up reply actions
I agree
There really isn’t much he can do to lower his stock, his tape says a lot, as does the system he was in. This is really just about comparing him to the players in his draft class and see where he stacks up. I’m interested to see how he does with the throwing portion.

The whole Stanzi-Brady comparison keeps getting more credible
because Brady’s got great feet. I wouldn’t have guessed his 40 that low. He, like Stanzi, will find the corner and cut it for 10 yards with decent ease.

QB mobility really has little to do with straight line speed.
It’s all about sensing the pressure and avoiding it. Guys like Peyton Manning and Tom Brady can duck the pressure better than guys who are much faster.

They really like the way Ricky is throwing to a spot on these drills.
I don’t think he’s completed a pass in his last 6 tries, but he’s doing what he’s supposed to do and getting it to the spot with good footwork and a good release. Marshall Faulk and Sterling Sharpe seem to like the way he’s throwing the ball.
damn near hit the cone on the 2nd or 3rd throw
And when he missed he missed wide out of bounds, another plus.
Stanzi is Stanzi and going 3rd to 4th + rounds in the draft without expectations will suit him well.

by The Bacon Explosion on Feb 27, 2011 2:10 PM CST up reply actions
I actually heard them say that those balls would not be intercepted.
Get the ball to the spot. If the receiver isn’t there, we’ll get someone that WILL get there. That, to me, says a lot about Ricky’s accuracy. Him getting drafted in the 3rd or 4th round without expectations will be good for him. He can learn and grow into the offense and then when he gets his chance, he’ll be ready and can impress from there. Better to go that route and succeed than be drafted as a franchise savior and fall flat on your face.
I thought he showed what he needed to do
he was throwing to the spot and although he didn’t really complete a lot of passes on the corner route, he threw it to the correct spot/shoulder. Definitely showed he can throw it correctly.

by PCarroll_u_sm(j)irk on Feb 28, 2011 4:33 AM CST reply actions
Well, obviously Russ Laude didn't understand the drills.
The dudes on NFL Network (Including my boy Marshall Faulk) said that it was about throwing to A SPOT, not a receiver. They commented numerous times on the poor footwork of the QBs who are from a spread offense, and when Stanzi stepped up and threw it to the spot (which the receiver didn’t catch because he is most likely not accustomed to running those routes?) they approved and said you could tell he had a lot of practice with these drills.
As someone said above, those are the kind of throws they want to see, because if there’s not a guy there, they can GET a guy there.
And to quote Stanzi from the other day, even his mom could go on the interner and look up stats and make judgments about them.
He’s gonna have a great career in the NFL.

Pretty sure I would trust Marshall Faulk and Sterling Sharpe's opinion on potential pro qb's over the Russ Lande character.
There were a number of times they would still be talking about how poor Newton’s (or any of the spread qbs’) mechanics were and then Ricky would throw and they would say “There it is. I like that.”
We have DB's today, so its TMFS's turn to shine.
Reisner did ok for TE’s, but he’s just not as athletic as most of the top guys. I haven’t heard much about how Hunter, Klug or Ballard have done. Vandevelde did pretty decent for an O-Lineman.
Pretty sure DBs working out tomorrow
DL and LBs are working out today. Ballard and Clayborn are showing off now in drills.
Damn you, Directv guide! I swear it said DB's today and LB's were Saturday.
Oh well, that would explain the lack of info about them!
Ballard was fast today
but down to 283lbs from 288 at the Senior Bowl, which loses him some versatility points

Yes, because gaining 5 pounds back couldn't be achieved before the draft or training camp.
I get your point, but it’s so nit-picky to talk about such minor weight loss for a guy that big. Not sure if it was intentional or not. I’m guessing that if whatever team drafts him wants him bigger, he can gain the weight by training camp.
The way it sounds right now, that is a real possibility. I've resigned myself to having no football on Sundays this fall.
Saves money on Sunday Ticket, though.
It's been a real possibility for about 6 months, nobody wanted to admit it
But the NFLPA told players to start saving money and making contingency plans back in October or September IIRC. I just wonder if players like GBNBTMFS who declared early can come back to school if they get locked out? I feel bad for any players in this year’s draft class, I’m sure most of them can’t afford to train with the top trainers and live on their own without a source of income. Not sure if their agents would just continue to bank roll their training for another 12-16 months.
By NCAA rules, Sash and any other underclassmen are screwed.
By hiring agents, they have forfeited amateur status and can’t play. There’s nothing to prevent them from re-enrolling in school and finishing their degrees, though. They just couldn’t play football.
You can manage it.
I don’t think I even watched a single NFL regular season game last year.

I can see where you're coming from
For the last 4 or 5 years I have only watched Packers’ games. My NFL passions are limited to my team. College football is a different story, I will watch games from the first kickoff to the last WAC game that ends at 1am Central. And if not for having early dreams of a Packers dynasty in my head, I might not care as much about the 2011 season.
it's less about the size of the change
and more about it being in the wrong direction when he was already well under his listed weight
