This one’s for CardiffBaseball,
Gotta love the draft they pulled off this weekend. To get two guys like they did is awesome for the Dawg Pound. Who nows how it will work out but I’d be celebrating.
Yes I would agree, that coupled with the possible return of LeCharles Bentley, and the signing of Steinbach, that we might actually keep a QB off of his back 10 times a game. Shoot maybe they can even gain some rushing yards.
I’m not a NFL scout obviously, but I was pretty unimpressed with what I saw from Brady Quinn during combine and his highlights – I’m not surprised he fell at all, I am surprised more quarterbacks weren’t taken before him.. most of his big passes were one spiral away from interceptions.. I think we’ll see alot of interceptions from him in the NFL.. he doesn’t have the strength or the release right now to keep the ball away from defenders.. In my opinion, a player throwing wobbly lofty balls in college might be given credit for having ‘touch’, but in the NFL he’ll be Ed Reed’s and every other decent safeties favorite QB! That said, Drew Brees was able to improve his philanthropic arm and he improved quite a bit – so hopefully this turns out into a fun comeback story.
On the Chargers.. Most people are really happy with AJ’s draft, but then again most Charger fans will kiss AJ’s feet and go on about how he’s the second coming.. excellent job his staff HAS done with their diamonds in the rough – Philips, Dielman, Gates, VJ(pending), ‘The Trade’= Eli for Merriman, Kaeding and Oben… My concern? AJ and team biggest draft blunder was Sammy Davis, I have a strange feeling that the Eric Weddle pick will be a mistake.. guy may be a heady player, but there are concerns about his strength and his frame looks too small to put any more muscle on…. we will see! I sure hope he’s good! Maybe he can become a workout freak like Archuleta.. Can’t wait for season to begin!
