  • Trey Lance - NDSU Quarterback Executive Summary
    © - Tim Jenkins / Jenkins Athletics LLC Trey Lance - NDSU Quarterback Executive Summary: Trey Lance is one of the harder prospects to evaluate on tape because of all the evaluation considerations one must make in order to look at his tape. These are all covered in the evaluation considerations section and include NDSU Base Personnel, Level of Competition, Body of Work, and others. I see Trey Lance as a developmental prospect with ways in which an organization could play him early if they are forced to. Trey in my opinion is not coming from a “pro-style” offense. There is a drastic difference between taking a snap under center and executing a true “pro-style” offense, but the College game has very few of those to begin with. Trey will need to be groomed with a high level of drop variability and eye placement drills at the beginning of his rookie development period. From a biomechanical perspective, there is a lot to love about Trey and his delivery. Knowing there will be no big mechanical changes can help project him as a prospect where the focus is football intelligence and footwork variability. This will also be one less thing your QB coach has to work on. I believe the focus of Trey’s development will need to be in an understanding of what you want to see from him with each drop, a well defined progression system, and a heavy dose of run & play action early in his career if he is forced to play in year 1 or 2.

  • 2015 NFL Draft Rumors: Browns Proposed Trade for Mariota Not Worth It
    2015 NFL Draft Rumors: Browns Proposed Trade For Mariota Not Worth It Author : Robert D. Cobb With ESPN’s Pat McManamon reporting Wednesday that the Cleveland Browns have offered their two first- round picks for Marcus Mariota, I feel that the Browns fandom and organization is at a proverbial crossroads. As I stated on my Facebook, I feel Mariota has the potential to be a good QB, as a Browns fan, I honestly feel that we need to stop making the same mistake—over and over, i.e.; the proper definition of insanity—in draft QB’s in the first round and build in key areas such as OL, DL, WR and OLB. Unless Mariota turns out to become the second coming of this era’s best quarterback—and mine—in Aaron Rodgers, I would not do this trade. Giving up two first rounders for a spread system quarterback is not only franchise suicide, but also akin to getting hijacked. In doing such a move, the Browns are only empowering the Titans sense of arrogance and leverage, as they feel that they can drive the bidding up towards getting a RG3-type of haul, they know that a team such as Cleveland, desperate to find it’s savior, is the perfect mark—er, sucker. In going all in on Mariota, Cleveland is admitting that they missed on Johnny Manziel, and their fourth quarterback since 1999. Which brings me to Manziel. For all of those clamoring for the ouster—and trade—for the 2014 Heisman winner, I feel they are nothing more than bitter and pissed-off Hoyer fanboys upset that Manizel is still here, while their “hero” is now in Houston, let’s keep it real here, as these are the same ones saying that Manziel—the 2012 Heisman Winner—only player SIX quarters of NFL football.

It really meant a lot and aided greatly on the road to feeling better—thank you they were most welcome and felt. Diagnosis: torn MCL and arthritis in my left leg. (This in addition to the Degenerative Arthritis in both knees and back); but this current issue has not affected the former—thank God.) I am still in pain; while the level is down, at times—but hurts the most at night as I try to sleep. I now must use a cane for support and had my first cortisone shot on the 12th (1 every 3 months). Plus if this method doesn’t take effect, the orthopedist said there were other non-surgical options. I have decided to forgo anything that would put me out of action and so to speak, land me on the DL—too much football to get out—plus living alone it wouldn’t be to my advantage.
