Jene Bramel From the Trenches: Senior Bowl Day 1
Senior Bowl Defensive Notes – Day 1 The Senior Bowl schedule changed this year. Traditionally at mid-morning on Monday, the weigh-in was pushed back to Tuesday this year. It was also scheduled nearly two hours earlier, with bleary-eyed scouts and team personnel making up the bulk of a standing room only crowd. It didn’t take…

Thoughts on Day 1 of the Senior Bowl
I’ve grown to view the first day of the practice as a stage-setter for the rest of the week. With new teammates, new coaches, and a new city with a schedule packed with team and media events, expect players to be thinking a little more and maximizing their athleticism a little less when they take…

Boiler Room: UMass TE Jean Sifrin
Sometimes a player’s reaction to a bad play is more promising than a good play. Find out why this might be the case with UMass TE Jean Sifrin. On the car ride to Mobile, I described this tight end class to Cecil Lammey with the mock headline: “If Only . . . ” To the…

Spann specifically mentioned placement on the head or face of the defender, because…

Pro running back Chad Spann evaluates Ameer Abdullah and imparts advice on transitioning to the league. I have learned a lot of valuable concepts about running back play from Chad Spann.

Boiler Room: Jesse James Penn State TE
Fluid. It’s the word that comes to mind when I watch Penn State tight end Jesse James. Fluid isn’t necessarily fast and it might be the one thing absent from James’ game–the only thing he needs to be far and away the best tight end prospect in this class. The Boiler Room Series features select…

Late Night Thoughts on the Cardale Jones Decision
Should he stay or should he go? Sigmund Bloom and I debated around this question Monday night. See below. [Note: this exchange with Sigmund Bloom and me isn’t exactly as it went down, but close enough to post. Our views as I portrayed them represent the dichotomy likely found among the NFL] “Hater!” It’s…
