THE NFL COMBINE .2014..INSPIRED BY NFL NETWORK..

 THE NFL COMBINE . INSPIRED BY NFL NETWORK,..
  Well the NFL season is over and for us.. withdrawal pains.. Well it gives us more time to search the Internet, or exercising , or in my case waste gas driving black beauty ( my muscle car) , but the others it surfing the cable stations,, perhaps watching more car racing , or shows we would not normally watch,.
 Now the combine,, its a series of events and exercise, testing the skills, speed , power and agility of players,, some of them looking great and others not.. But to be honest.. I rather see how a player plays in game time situations under extreme noise and stress under pressure, not in a quiet arena , with stop watches and showing off.. For me. I'm looking for a guy that has desire and skill and has that extra attitude,, You know what I mean,, In the NFL,, you cant be a wimp or too sensitive, no names please , martin..?? Well anyways,, the NFL is not real life, per se, but then again it is,, it s competititon , cut throat business that wants their workers , to give it their best, despite the cuts or or firing or what . I mean one day your a star like LT was and the next the chargers ARE dropping you like a bad habit.. Heck it happened to Peyton Manning, Joe Montana, Joe Namath. etc.. If you stick around long enough they get rid of you,, Unless your Barry Sanders who left the game a season or more too soon. But hey.. He's still one of my favorites when it comes to highlight reels,, I mean he makes grown professional athletes look like kids.. Now that's spectacular,, ala. Michael Jordan, or Muhammad Ali in their hey days,  In their primes, they made you look silly...But those are ICONS and for those that got to see them in their primes , not recorded events. what a site to behold..
 Now these so called experts.. the scouts , the talent evaluators.. yeah whatever.. Recall Tom Brady was a late round pick Russell Wilson, was late round.. Jerry Rice too. Alot of players get overlooked because they went to small town schools or didn't make the social rounds and become the elite , social party goers.. Its .. To me.. I'm gonna go after those players that have the chip on their shoulder that get over looked or under looked , that don't fit the physical measurements so many scouts want to adhere by.. Anyone in San Diego recall Cryan Ryan Leaf.. at one time they compared him to Peyton Manning.. Child Please.. He was a one time hit and more of a hit and miss to say the least.. His rants and arguments and ass hole personality,, destroyed San Diego for years.. I call them the  Cryan Ryan affect.. The Bolts were in shambles until the famous 2001 draft,, LT , Brees, Kaeding , undrafted Gates.. were the core of the new era in charger football.. ONLY to be destroyed by ASSWIPE AJ SMITH and Nervous Norv Turner.. It makes me cringe to think what happened in 2006, and the firing of a 14-2 coach.. who the fawk does that? The San Diego Super Chargers,,, and the rest is history.. so to speak.. but those days are gone and the San Diego Chargers made a historic run last year with a mediocre team and a rejuvenated quarterback and running back,, But the loss of Malcolm Floyd and denario Alexander , may be too much to overcome this season.. Keenan Allen is a true number one elite receiver. but he needs help.. I thought home town grown Vincent Brown would pan out.. Maybe he still can.. But we need another game breaker.. to help Allen and gates.. I like green with his speed and catching ability , but is too inconsistent ,, he needs more tutelage from Gates.. I love gates , but his best days are behind him.. and Eddie Royal.. was a nice fill in , but its too expensive for a true slot receiver.. I think wood head is a keeper , but Ronnie Brown,,, I hate to say it,, is just not durable , or consistent enough to challenge Mathews.. If anything the resurgence of Mathews can be due to the woodhead affect.. Competition can scare you into playing and performing better. I give credit to Mathews, but can he gives us more seasons like that,,? that's the big question, and for Charger fans they need to look into getting  a late round running back or wide out and of course getting that physical corner and pass rusher / line backer to solidify that defense. As for the offense.. New offensive coordinator, will be tested this upcoming season.. The teams know what the bolts want to do. and strong consistent offensive linemen will need to be addressed to compete in the resurgent and surprisingly strong AFC west.. recall 3 teams made the payoffs from the AFC west.. Its gonna be another dog fight to win this division or make the playoffs , with this current roster.. Tough decisions have to be made.. Alexander , made be gone , Ronnie brown, Vincent brown,, and even ajrotutu ,, its a tough job to have , but we need to cut salary and get production from the players we have,,, I'm sorry Clip board Jesus. Charlie Whitehurst,, the gig is up,, I know rivers likes you calling plays and such, but your a over paid back that never plays.. If your so good at calling plays and such, then we can hire you as a quarterback coach or what,, But not as a back up to Rivers. TO be honest the future is riding on the 3rd string Brad Sorenson, Big , strong agile and can run well.. He's the new breed of qbs that are athletic and nimble.. But for now, The bolts need to get the best player in the combine for the positions they need.. If the chargers can get 3 starters from the draft like they did last year. Then this year could be another 9-7, 10-6 year and another wild card spot.. I see the Broncos and Chiefs fighting for the top spot and the Bolts fighting for that last wild card spot.. As for the raiders.. They have talent , but that culture of bad ass , kick in you in the face football,, is not working. well not in today's football. I still think they are a quarterback away from being a playoff team,, and a threat to the AFC west,, But this could be the make ot break year for them.. according to NFL stats they have the lowest pay roll of any team in the league and could possibly make the biggest jump with a quality draft class  or free agent signings.,, But time will tell. The combine does give us a look at potential stars of the NFL.. but finding that hidden gem,,, that the Chargers did last year with Rookie sensation Keenan Allen,, could be the next task for the scouts of all NFL teams this year.. Just because your the number one pick or 1st round pick doesn't always equate to a successful NFL career. In today's day in age.. The lower round picks end up playing better and performing better because its not whats expected of them.. Too much pressure being a number one pick or 1st rounder..  Too many kids get full of themselves or just cant handle the pressure,,, But one things is for sure,, come draft day .. many of the fans around the league will be looking for to see what their teams do or don't do,, and we are all looking forward to summer camps and preseason football and of course the fall opening kick off to begin another fast and furious season that concludes in ARIZONA.. the SUPER BOWL.. THE LOMBARDI TROPHY.. but for now,, its the off season, and a time to relax and get caught up with chores and stuff. Because when the football bug hits.. we are all infected and loving every minute of it,,NFL COMBINE .. its something to think about while we wait for the real football season to start. Are you ready for some football.. I know I can't wait until the season starts and we all become kids again rooting for teams and players , for us Fantasy football maniacs.. Its the greatest game ever invented.. !! hands down.. !!
 Enjoy ,, the NFL NETWORK.. and stay tuned to more of my opinions and thoughts about a game we all love to watch !!
