    Yeah, Shane Bowman is absolutely yoked out of his mind. Good call @steelheader2

    Was Bowman the kid that dmc had put on CouchWatch '15?

    Actually surprised Coleman ran a 4.6. Do the pads just make him look like a slug?

    I had the same thought. He runs a 5.1 in pads. Running in pads is something that should be scrutinized more closely. Some barely lose any speed, some are much slower.
    never understood why they dont run the 40 in pads. It just makes too much sense. At the very least throw a helmet or shoulder pads on them instead of skin tight underwear.

    Dwayne Washington and Kevin King are the two best athletes on the team. It just proves there is more to being a football player than athleticism. Maybe fundamentals, instincts, and toughness matter?

    Yup, it really does speak to that. Obviously the physical attributes help, but great players are great because of the stuff you pointed out. One of my favorite things this staff preaches is "durability is more important than ability." It probably doesn't make sense to a lot of the players or couch watchers that JO over 40 speed, but it is 100% true.

    That should be a reality. It's actually kind of ridiculous that it's not.

    Depending on what happens with Ross, I wonder if the coaching staff is thinking about moving King to CB? He's a much better fit at FS but BB is there and Zeke Turner has seems to have the size to overtake him at SS.

    Sounds like Dissly and Bowman are going to be the top 2 players at DT (E. Hudson's old position).

    Jood reported that King told him that he was bouncing back and forth between CB and safety. King is tall and lean, quick, excellent jumper, isn't a great tackler. His measurables and playing style seem like a better fit at CB.

    My guess is that King will be the first DB off the bench in sub packages. Jones and Kelly at CB. Baker and Turner at safety. King will be the top back up at S. I know Hale will factor in, but he was noticeably bad last year. I think he has a long way to go before being a dependable player.

    His did the linebackers look? I'm more worried about that group than the front line
