WE'RE TALKIN' DRAFT: 2011 NFL DRAFT ROUNDS TWO AND THREE

The NFL Draft, that three-day dog and pony show that we love dearly, despite its many many flaws, heads into the second and third rounds this evening.  Most of the big-name players are off the board by now (except poor Da'Quan Bowers, whose potentially exploding knees has sent his draft stock into utter freefall), but there's still plenty of quality to be had.  Roger Goodell probably won't be around to get booed again (sigh), but I'm sure the NFL will have a few tricks up their sleeves to liven up the proceedings and make us all ignore the labor drama.

As always, we're primarily watching to see where the Iowa guys get selected; last night we were happy to see Adrian Clayborn get snapped up at #20 by the Bucs.  We're not really sure which Iowa guys might go tonight -- Christian Ballard seems like the most likely option, but given the run we've seen on QBs, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Americanzi get snatched up by some freedom-loving organization tonight.  Or we could see a more out of the blue pick, too -- no one expected Pat Angerer to go as early as he did last year (late 2nd round), so who knows.  Regardless, we'll still be staring dumbfounded at the crazy picks (like Christian PLOLnder) and doing our best to avoid the Berman-isms or being hypnotized into killing the president by Kiper's crazy hair. 

Anyway, the fun starts at 5pm CDT on ESPN and NFL Network.  The usual rules of open threading apply: no porn, no illegal online streams, no religion, no politics, no slurs, etc.  You know the drill, campers.

just because he couldn't run 40 yards in under 10 seconds even with all the cocaine he can snort

doesn’t mean he isn’t deserving of basic human respect.

I don't think so.

In the past 10 years, just four team owners have not paid a luxury tax and are not on pace to pay one this year: Donald Sterling, Jerry Reinsdorf, Chris Cohen (Golden State), Bob Johnson (Charlotte).

Two owners’ teams averaged an operating income of over +$10 million per year while their teams have lost over 60% of their games: Donald Sterling and Jerry Reinsdorf.

i saw henson from the third row in the shoe

maybe like 2000
best seats i ever have had there
3rd row osu 40 south
i had sold my two ozone seats for $200 each about an hour before game time
and was ready to walk over and watch it on game day screen
but this very attractive middle aged woman came up and asked if i wanted to buy her ticket
she almost apologetically said she had to have face value
my memory it was $40
but i would really like the seats
i took them and was blown away
unlike c deck and binocs
not only could you hear the hits you could feel them
well about three times henson came around end my way
and threw this bad ass stiff arm
i didnt think a qb could do that
i think they beat them by ten or so
and didnt he wait line for that job behind Brady?

I would think the cumulative effect of having the draft in it's old weekend slots would be better

than the way they’re doing it now. Considering that Sportscenter would be getting high ratings right now too and the 3rd and 4th rounds are probably going to bomb tomorrow.

Rounds 4-7 wouldn't get great ratings on Saturday or Sunday.

They care about the first few rounds. And THOSE rounds get much better ratings by airing during the evening, especially the first round. Last year’s first round did huge ratings, significantly more than they were doing on Saturday afternoon.

#-technique is where a D-lineman lines up.

5-tech is just outside the tackle. 3-tech is between tackle and guard, 1-tech between guard and center.

by shake n bake on Apr 29, 2011 5:58 PM CDT up reply actions  

It's where you line up.

0 tech is head up on the C
1 tech is shaded to one shoulder (middle of your body is lined up on the side of his body)
2 tech is lining up in the C-G gap
3 tech is outside shoulder of guard
4 tech is lining up in the G-T gap
5 tech is outside should of tackle

4-3 defenses have a NG that usually lines up in 1, and a 3-tech that lines up on the opposite “side” of whichever way the NG is shaded. Both of these are called defensive tackles. Then ends are split it out, sometimes in 5-techniques, but often split out wider (think dwight freeney) or lined up on the TE.

3-4 defenses have a zero technique and then two 5-techniques. 0-techs line head up on the center (this is simplistic) and are sorta responsible for the tying up the C’s and both guards to keep them off the ILB’s. That’s why they are so huge. 5-techs are mostly responsible for containing the run because they have OLB’s that can blitz. However, they also have to be able to rush the passer if they don’thave a TE outside of them and no blitzing linebacker.

It was perfect timing.

I watch all my non-sports non-History tv on Netflix and had just finished Dexter Season 2 (bullshit that they just took Season 3 off right before I finished 2) and needed a new show.

Then I got the PS3 and decided to go out and buy Mad Men Seasons 1 and 2 as well as the entire series of The Wire. I have a lot of tv to watch.

Walter from walterfootball.com
74. Ryan Mallett, QB, Arkansas
When I first heard that Ryan Mallett was going here, I planned on giving the Patriots a D. Why build for the future and continue to ignore the front seven?

But then I thought about it, and I realized that Bill Belichick is a genius. I have no doubt in my mind that Belichick doesn’t plan on playing Mallett at all. He’s going to trade him in a year or two to a quarterback-hungry team for a much higher pick. (Pick Grade: B)

love the rationalizing

They did the same thing with the Pats' first RB choice.

When Brady retires they’re going to find Belichick is not as great as we thought. He’s got too big a rep for drafting, by far.

but I’m not gonna grade it (or try to persuade anyone else to) until we see the result.

by Hawkette on Apr 29, 2011 10:00 PM CDT up reply actions  

That is pretty close

There is a latitudinal gradient in when balsam poplar trees set bud in the fall and flush buds in the spring. The timing of those events is triggered by day length and is meant to maximize the length of the growing season, while avoiding frost damage. The variation in the timing of those events is controlled by one or more gene pathways that code for proteins used to detect night length. The idea is that southern genotypes of balsam poplar would set bud too late in northern climates and would suffer frost damage, whereas Alaskan genotypes would have like a week of growth in a southern environment. We are identifying the specific nucleotide changes that account for the timing differences.

"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him." --Leo Tolstoy
