Suomi Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Talking to a Penn State fan last night... ...and the second that I mentioned Saquon his first words to me were "I don't think that he'll be a good pro." When I asked why he replied "Because he can't get four yards. Everything is either minus three or a breakaway. And those breakaways will be limited because everyone in the NFL is so much faster." So there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasAg1969 Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Interesting. And reflects what I think about his "between the tackles" abilities compared to others who are tougher inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo fagley Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Blocking is better in the Pros. Once through the hole, its usually daylight for 10 plus yards because LBs and DBs have to respect the pass. Schemes are better. QBs are better at selling play action. Yeah, defenses are faster and so is Barkley with 4.4 speed. If youre going to use him as a battering ram inside runner 3 yards and a cloud of dust then forget it. Not that type of player.

So there's that. Yes the LBs and FSs will rock your world in the pros and they can all run faster than the NCAA dudes. A friend of mine, grew up two houses from me was a first team All Ohio DE went to a BIG 10 school and found out they were all "All Something" there, the pros are a mega jump from that. Barkley might work out but teams are more reluctant now to use a top draft pick on such a risky position.....again Trent Richardson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Oven Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 How did the PSU fan like "Paterno" on HBO? The Penn State fans in my family won't watch it, because its easier to deny the truth and be complicit I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBrown Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 My guess is teams see him very differently to the media or the popular mock draft guys, he's been way overhyped by the latter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickers Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 The whole thing that freaks me out about that whole news.. Was how suddenly Paterno and his wife passed so suddenly afterword...

Comeonman Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Chubb all the way please. Don’t need another blown top five pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Yup, I want Chubb. However, in Barley's defense, he's been compared to Marshall Faulk. Well, Faulk wasn't a 'move the pile 4 yards' type of back either. But he could run, make people miss and catch. Kinda' like Duke. We can pick up a RB later.

You'd be surprised how many Americans will continue to love someone in power they support regardless of the avalanche of proof of how morally-bankrupt said person is.

mjp28 Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 Wow AL Pacino has come a long way since the Godfather..... Al Pacino‘s performance as legendary Penn State football coach Joe Paterno in the HBO original movie Paterno is awfully impressive. Here he is, playing a guy known for being essentially a pair of sunglasses and a windbreaker jacket for the last 10 years of his career at least, who coached into his mid-80s and whose career was cut short by a sex scandal involving one of his assistant coaches, Jerry Sandusky, who was accused or raping many young boys via his position as a coach and director of a youth camp. As the scandal quickly unfolded in the fall of 2011, Paterno soon became embroiled as he was accused of ignoring evidence and claims that the abuse was happening and either turning a blind eye towards it or enabling........
