Senior Bowl Updates

[19braves77]

Spent the whole Day watching pratices at the Senior Bowl and Tebow kept graphing to about zero unless kickers and players from Idaho excite you. Spent all night at the hotel looking for Alabama players and Tebow, waste of time. Tommorow am avoiding the South pratices and will try hotel for Tebow:

Mike Johnson from Alabama spent a lot of time with peeps from the Jets.
Jared Odrick (DT, Penn St.) was observed talking with reps. from the Eagles, 49ers and Browns
llinois TE Mike Hoomanawanui is having dinner with the Vikings
Boise State CB Kyle Wilson was talking with a Tennessee Titans rep
Mardy Gilyard (WR, Cincy) is getting a lot of interest from the Chiefs
New England Patriots (LB, Mizzou) were chatting it up with Sean Weatherspoon
Wisconsin TE Garrett Graham was talking with the Panthers and Chargers
Redskins reps were talking with Mizzou WR Danario Alexander and Utah DE/OLB Koa Misi
LeGarrette Blount was asked to to have a private workout for the Eagles after pratice.
Riley Cooper could be the 3rd WR taken on the 1st day of the draft.

Interview setups for tommorow:

Jaguars: Patrick Robinson
Vikings: Anthony Dixon

Raiders: Daryl Sharpton, Eric Norwood
Cowboys: Ben tate
Eagles: Jeremy Williams, Nate Allen, Dan Williams, Jarrett Brown


What Tebow went thru today is exactly why players like Sam Bradford and Colt McCoy dont show up at the Senior Bowl. You have people booing and team officials shaking their heads ten feet from him. One of the few players that you dont have access to at all.

Really feel sorry this guy now. Myresentment towards Tebow started when he declined to attend Alabama and influenced other Alabama targets to follow him to Florida and then only to do it again when he was speaking in Destin, Florida with Trent Richardson present for an awards ceremony. Today, he had his family acting like his handlers today and it was "operation no autographs." Then he blasted by the media for his Christian commerical that he would be appearing in during the Super Bowl. I doubt there is any access to him today in the hotel. I heard he is getting a ton of looks from the Falcons who want to use him as a TE. Around 2,000 people tring to get autographs today.....

Confirmed meetings after pratice:
Houston Texans: Thomas Welch (Vandy OL), Mike Iupati (Idaho OL), Lonyae Miller (Fresno St. RB)
Cleveland Browns: Kurt Coleman (Ohio St. DB), Thomas Welch (Vandy OL)
New York Jets: Mike Windt (Cincy Long Snapper)
Baltimore Ravens: Syd’Quan Thompson (Cal DB), Joique Bell (Wayne St. RB)
Kansas City Chiefs: Syd’Quan Thompson (Cal DB)
Detroit Lions: AJ Edds (Iowa LB, but they were working Edds out as a long snapper off to the side)
Atlanta Falcons: Donald Jones (WR Youngstown St.)
St. Louis Rams: Mike Neal (DL Purdue), Sean Weatherspoon (LB Mizzou)
Washington Redskins: Austen Lane (DL Murray St.)
Jacksonville Jaguars: Vladimir Ducasse (OL UMass)
Oakland Raiders: Phillip Dillard (LB Nebraska)

Teams didn't set up any interviews today considering half of them left yesterday to review practice film and start their full analysis of players. Staff said that the only Alabama player that might have a hard time hearing his name on Draft weekend is Corey Reamer. Javier Arenas did three interviews with the Ravens this week.

I have never seen so many people autographing this event then this year. Tebow has signed zero autos and we were informed of this on Day 1 by his brother who is his handler. The only chance of getting it might be if he shows up to the MEET & GREET on Friday, but he went to the Hospital last night to be treated for possible Strep Throat and might be a no show at the Coca Cola event tomorrow night.

Every year I complain about the possible Top 5 picks not attending the Senior Bowl due to hurting their draft status with a poor showing. Now I see it was a God send that they didn't. Good luck for hose going to the signing tommorow.

Alot of the stations are reporting that Tebow has been ill all week.

I really don't see what the big deal is.

If a player doesn't want to sign, he shouldn't have to sign. That goes for any reason as well. Don't take it as a personal dig.

 

[19braves77]

If a player doesn't want to sign, he shouldn't have to sign.

True, but atleast speak for yourself. Tebow is not telling me "no" its his brother who is scooting Tebow away from me while riding his brothers success while Ozzie Newsome is signing autographs left and right with a smile 3 feet away.

Time for a rant:


I am sorry, but while it would suck not to get his autograph(I have a few in my collection), he doesn't owe you or any other fan anything for you being there. He knows what most people are getting his autograph for. Most are there to make money off of him. I understand there are true fans and autograph seekers that would never sell their autographs of him but trust me when I say he is a kind hearted great kid! When I met him at a couple of Gators practices, he wanted to sign for me even when coaches said not too. He is the reason most all of the fans are there, NOT Ozzie Newsome! Ozzie Newsome and Tim Tebow are on two totally different levels, which cannot be compared. Instead of being selfish, think about how much hype is there because of him. Everyone wants an autpograph. Let the man concentrate and get his head in the game so his draft stock will go up. He is there to improve his draft stock, not to sign autographs. Autographs are a plus and not a priority. Alot of people don't even get to see the man let alone get his autograph, so just be grateful you had the opportunity to see him in person and watch him play. There are many others that would love to be in the same position as you.

Well lets do his step by step because I dont really understand your point. Its okay for you to ask but not me ?

1. He knows what most people are getting his autograph for.

I want him to sign my mini helmet to put on my mantle

2. Ozzie Newsome and Tim Tebow are on two totally different levels, which cannot be compared

The point is Ozzie is a HOFer who is there that took the time to sign for me in between player interviews as a GM of a NFL team. Tebow is hoping to get drafted. You would figure the GM has less time then the player after pratice.

3. Autographs are a plus not a priority

False, I go to games and events to get autographs. Going to Braves caravan tommorow for the same reason. Mant go to the games for whatever X reason. If they dont want me asking for autographs then close pratice like Nick Saban does...

4. just be grateful you had the opportunity to see him in person and watch him play.

No, I had that pleasure on Dec 6ht at the SEC championship game

All Tebow did this week was assure himself of another 6,000 people wanting his autograph for another time..

I agree, Newsome is an accomplished HOF'er. Tebow isn't required to sign and shouldn't feel obligated. He's there to show he can play and to improve his stock in the draft.

a few points
1) his draft stock has already fallen faster than obama's approval rating
2) right, newsome and tebow are on two different levels. newsome is a HOFer, and tebow is an overrated player that played in a college system that sets him up for failure at the next level
3) autographs are the only reason most, if not all, of the people are there for. usually the players are accessible at one point, like the meet and greet, but like 19braves77 said - he might not even partake in that.
