2023 Spring Practice to Fall Camp Thread - Just hook it to my veins!
Impressively, you still manage to be wrong after being corrected. He’s in the 94th percentile for 3 cone of all time for edges, so it’s not just in comparison to the 2023 class that his time is impressive. A 6.97 3 cone for an edge defender is absolutely meaningful. That’s a great time no matter what draft class he’s in and 3 cone is the most meaningful metric for edge rushers. If you can’t figure that out, then you don’t have anywhere near the requisite knowledge to talk about this. On top of that, you cited an eval that had him predicted as a 4th round pick as part of your reasoning why he wasn’t drafted. All people are saying is his production plus his testing deserved to be a draft pick, not that he should’ve gone high or would’ve been a great NFL player. The nuggets factor in why he wasn’t drafted was his injury history. If his injury history were better, he absolutely would’ve been drafted.

The OP said he would’ve had the second fastest 3 cone time at this year’s combine, which is correct. You looked at the top 3 cone performers of all time, not the 2023 class. And like NoName’s graph shows below his 3 cone was in the 94th percentile for DEs, so it was obviously very good. No idea why you’re trying to argue against objective metrics that are easy to prove.

Lol wtf. It’s one thing to debate whether Sabonis intentionally grabbed Green, but saying it’s all on Sabonis is insane. Even if Sabonis intentionally grabbed him, the stomp was clearly intentional and a massive overreaction that deserved a suspension regardless.

Based on what? Certainly not his play in college.

CoTA sounds like it sucks
Almost half the grid crashed out of the feature race today. It’s hard to believe the track condition making it bouncy under braking didn’t have something to do with that.

2023 Spring Game Thread of Hype and Doom
Probably because Center is the position that takes the longest to learn behind QB, so it would be hard to get a transfer ready to call out all the protections and assignments and Center is a position that’s in short supply in college, so there’s not many, if any, above average centers in the portal. The staff has actively tried to have guys switch to Center every offseason to give Majors competition. It’s pretty clear they’re not in love with him, but that doesn’t mean there’s a better option available.

2023 Spring Game Thread of Hype and Doom
The only people who thought he’d be great out of the gate are the mouth breathers on ESPN and other national sites who were trying to get clicks off claiming Ewers would transfer when Arch committed. It was obvious to anyone who watched the level of competition he played against in HS that he’d need time and his own family wants him to redshirt. On top of that he was playing behind a dogshit 2nd/3rd string OL so it’s not like he had a chance to look good regardless.

2023 Spring Game Thread of Hype and Doom
Lol wut. Everyone admits Majors isn’t good. I’m not sure ive seen anyone who’s said otherwise. I’m not saying we’ll be great at interior OL this year, but Campbell and Huston have a good shot at being our starting guards this year and both were out for the spring game. So it’s not surprising our second string guards didn’t look good up against Sweat and Murphy, especially when our offense is vanilla.

That Kings-Warriors game reminded me of a March Madness game where it just came down to which teams guards were going to keep hitting.
-
2023 Spring Game Thread of Hype and Doom
Yeah. It definitely looks like he’ll be able to make an impact in that role and could potentially be our Harold Perkins. We’ll have to see more of him in game to know how he’ll do as an off-ball linebacker.
-
2023 Spring Game Thread of Hype and Doom
True. Ewers is elite for a backup QB.
-
2023 Spring Game Thread of Hype and Doom
Yeah, probably a combination of UGA not throwing the ball all that much and then targeting their TE, Bowers, when they do. But I’m glad they didn’t, because it allowed us to get an elite WR.
-

Huh? He started every game he was healthy both years there.
-
2023 Spring Game Thread of Hype and Doom
Him and Murphy are the standouts. I’m still trying to process how good Murphy looked, especially compared to how much Quinn looks like the same exact QB he was last year…
-

AD Mitchell is so good.
-
2023 Spring Game Thread of Hype and Doom
It certainly seems like the staff has the same idea. He could be a real weapon as a pass rusher from Day 1. Even on deep balls, Murphy is getting the ball out extremely quick. He barely held the ball on that deep TD to Cook.
-
2023 Spring Game Thread of Hype and Doom
Could we, uh, maybe see some series with Murphy with the 1s?
-
2023 Spring Game Thread of Hype and Doom
Malik is looking amazing this game. The difference between him and Ewers is night and day in this game.
-
2023 Spring Game Thread of Hype and Doom
Yeah. That was terrible. So far not seeing any progress on his issues from last year. We have way too many weapons for him to force 16 targets a game to Worthy.
-
2023 Spring Game Thread of Hype and Doom
Oh good. More deep shots to a completely blanketed Worthy.

USC would make more sense. We don’t have an open starting spot this year, and I doubt Bear is looking to be second string this year.
-
2023 Spring Game Thread of Hype and Doom
Yeah, he was also putting too much weight on his back foot on deep throws last year. I was hoping his mechanics would look cleaner, but it doesn’t look like they’ve changed much from last year.
