College football open thread / TSR reminder

Tsr_logo_medium

  Another weekend, another Rams game, another episode of Turf Show Radio.  You know the deal.  We talk the last game, we talk the next game, we talk the guessing game, hell, we might even talk about the Game (but not if I have anything to do about it).  And as always, we'll finish the episode with some draft talk, and there's plenty to discuss especially considering Saturday's slate of games. Of course, we'll have a live open thread up, but if you feel so inclined (and we both know you do), you can call in at  (818) 495-6910.

  Speaking of open threads, Gameday's in Boise right now.  Blue fields are stupid, but whatever.  There's a couple hundred future NFLers in action today; it's a solid Saturday lineup, except for the Big 10 who decided they were going to mail this weekend in.  What are you going to be watching?  What prospects are you eager to check out?  Here's my watch list if you need a couple names from the games.  Lames...

  Holler.

I love Saturdays in the fall

I was thinking about the 2011 draft I'm looking at WRs.

I really like Devier Posey. I was thinking Robert Quinn and Devier Posey, would be a pretty good good first two rounds. I went over to Walter Football to see where they had Posey mocked to see if we could get him round 2, and I when I looked at the mock I saw our first two picks were Quinn and Posey. Posey is big (6-3 210 lbs.), fast (4.4 40), and supposedly he has a great worth ethic and has really sharpened his route running ability. I’m hoping all of the other big receivers will let him slip into the second round for us. I really like Quinn and Posey, and to get both would be a dream. Also getting Jaquizz Rodgers in the 3rd would be a mega-dream.

Shurmur, your career is in 3rd and long. Don't run a draw.

Posey's solid

I don’t know of him running in the 4.4 range, but if he does, I think it would be in the high 4.4’s. Speed’s not his game. Still, a large target with his hands would be a solid addition. His routes do need more work, but he’s got some big games left this season. I wonder though if Donnie Avery doesn’t factor into our future if we need a 3rd/4th round burner to open up the field. Someone like Torrey Smith from Maryland (Jr., 6’1", 200 lbs., 4.38) or Troy’s Jerrel Jernigan (Sr., 5’9", 185, 4.34). Speed kills.

You don't seem to want to accept the fact you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare, with a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In *St. Louis* his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period! Win by attrition. Well, *Steven Jackson* was the best.

speed is the biggest missing factor we need right now

by stlfan2004 on Sep 25, 2010 1:46 PM CDT up reply actions  

I'd say a size/speed/skill guy is our biggest missing factor right now

i actually think we have skill

but size you are right on…. it would be nice to get size speed in one guy and god knows he better have skill or it doesn’t matter how tall or fast he is….lol but i still say if they aren’t fast they shouldn’t be on our radar for our one WR pick

by stlfan2004 on Sep 25, 2010 4:09 PM CDT up reply actions  

I read 4.49 and I also read something that said he's a burner.

I read his routes are one of the best in the class now. I don’t know if we’ll replace Avery next year. But would you rather have Quinn and Posey, or Green and whatever D-linemen are available in round 2?

Quinn/Clayburn and Posey.

I think it’s easier to find talent at WR deeper in the draft than it is at pass rusher. We need someone to help out Long and Robbins. Bring back the Fearsome Foursome. >_>

The only thing comparable to a Rams win is a 49er loss!

Akeem Ayers for Heisman

        Damn another int for Ayers, and UCLA dominating Texas at Texas right now.

Nevertheless

Ayers is word.

is this a question

or a demand?

Unfortunately after Ayers’ game today, he is 1st round talent.

I watched Alabama-Arkansas today.

The Alabama RBs are the real deal. Mallet at QB for Arkansas has the size and arm strength, plus a little mobility, but his decision making is still a mess. He’ll throw one great pass for a long gain, then throw one off target and right into coverage. He gave away the game in the second half today.
