In college, once the ball is snapped, everyone can go downfield. Don't need the hang time that the NFL needs. Also, that would be why rugby-style punters are liked as they take an extra second or so to get the ball off enabling the coverage team to get further downfield.Originally Posted by Patler

I suspected that might be the case. It explains a lot about very effective college punters who just don't transition well into the NFL.
What's the NFL rule? Everyone has to wait until the ball is punted?
One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

Gunners can take off at snap, everyone else needs to wait. Was the same way in high school for me.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
soooo...NOT from stanford.
Nor from Ohio State, as any OSU player knows he gets paid to play.

Pete Mortell worked out pre-draft for Zook, Thompson and Wolf. He seems to be from Green Bay as his grandfather and father were/are the Game Clock operators at Lambeau Field.

Yes they did.

According to this article, released in January of this year, http://www.hngn.com/articles/170982/...ers-report.htm TT was really interested Beniquez Brown, the ILB free agent from Miss. St. signed by the Packers after the draft. This could be someone to keep an eye on. The author of the article had a third round grade on Brown. I've seen some other reaction surprised that he was not drafted. Hopefully TT got a steal.
This is also a good article on Brown from Packer Report. A momma's boy, a preparation/film rat...what's not to like. http://http://www.scout.com/nfl/pack...-plays-for-mom

Draft Insider had him rated a 4th round prospect, and the #7 ILB. Strange he wasn't taken. http://www.draftinsider.net/reports/...Beniquez-Brown

By draft day, the sites I trust had him as a 7th round pick or UDFA. The encouraging thing is that McGinn is one of the sources that had him as draftable. McGinn had him as the #17 ILB. He tested poorly at the combine, and he's not very big. Then again, a lot of ILBs in this draft tested poorly. Reggie Ragland, Tyler Matakevich, Scooby Wright, Stephen Daniels, and Kentrell Brothers are tested as poorly, but most of those other guys have the size advantage on Brown.

Okay, whoever drafted Kentrell Brothers needs to give him the nickname "The."

I think he signed with Seattle.
If there's a picture of him naked, would it then be the Brother's Johnson???
Good one!

For what it's worth, I was driving late at night a few weeks ago and stumbled across a sports program on the radio... they were talking with a "former scout" (don't know who it was) about "sleepers" in the draft and he mentioned Callahan. Said the kid had a live arm, great touch and anticipation... said he had a real chance to stick on an NFL roster. I found a clip of him on youtube, and he sure looked like he could fling a ball.
Anyone have any info on him?? Saw he was listed at 6'1, 215 lbs, and threw for a ton of yds and TDs at the lower levels.

A picture (or moving pictures) is worth a thousand words. Can someone here break down what you see from Callahan in these highlights? The first few throws in the video show off a really nice, accurate deep ball. Seems to drop it in a basket, with decent coverage from the D. He seems to trust his arm to get the ball to his receiver, even in contested spaces. Also seems to have some scrambling ability as well.
Does he dominate enough at this level to make you impressed with his talent relative to competition?
Here's an article about the Packers interest in him: http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packe...377206321.html

Callahan is better than Jerry Babb.
