Yup i agree with that assessment.
I think i also heard or read he didn't have a single carry go for a negative yard this year. If true that's insane.

Sample size of 1 player over 4 games? Just because Dalvin did it for 4 games last year doesn't mean that everybody in the future can/will be the same. I would still be cautious about a player bombing the combine. They may be able to perform well for some duration of time in the NFL but their deficiencies will likely show themselves throughout the course of the season/career of the player.kamihamster wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2018 10:26 am I really hope Guice or Michel really bomb the combine like Dalvin did. Maybe I can get one of them mid 1st instead of early 1st. After Dalvin did what he did at the combine yet still looked good in the NFL I pretty much dont care what they do anymore at the combine. If they fall, let me get them.
I'm sure ignoring the combine completely is not smart. But you also have to take into account that they are getting drilled all day for days straight which is why pro day results are typically better than combine. Trash in, trash out. There's lots of hype for the underwear olympics so their draft stock can gain or fall a lot based off their results. I trust the tape more for the more elite prospects.IBall2 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2018 10:42 amSample size of 1 player over 4 games?

As a person who puts a decent amount of stock into the combine this narrative is a little frustrating. The thing that got ppl was they thought he was this super agile and elusive rb but then tested like a turd for agility. Overall he didn’t test well, sure, but that wasn’t exactly why he dropped so far. His speed was actually pretty good, it’s a myth that he completely bombed the combine.kamihamster wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2018 10:26 am I really hope Guice or Michel really bomb the combine like Dalvin did.

I agree watching them my only problem is if Jones had 10-15 more pounds Sony would be the one with the better turns. I just wish Sony didn't fumble so much, massive red flagTvols wrote: ↑Sun Feb 18, 2018 9:31 am Went back and watched some more Jones and Sony tape. Originally I wasnt feeling Jones but the more I watch him man he has some fluid hips and turns on a dime.. better than Sony.. Cant wait to see the 40 time on both this guys and Jones looks like the better receiver too.. Man I wish he had 10-15 more lbs to him...
