Todd McShay: licensed jackanape

“Either Todd McShay is a half-wit or he has inside information that the Rams are being run by half-wits”

Or McShay is bored and trying to stir up some web churn a couple of months before the draft talk gets super-serious. Does not negate your first clause.

Or the Rams are desperately trying to gain some small set of leverage over negotiations with the presumed #1 pick and are feeding McShay this line of probable BS. Does not negate your second clause.

Of course, neither of your clauses negate the other. It could be McShay is a half-wit AND the Rams are run by half-wits. Like the hot chick says at the end of Trading Places, “Can’t we have both?”

What does Peter King say? Scipio asked me to inquire.

Todd McShay has been discredited so many times its not even funny. That guy doesn’t know anything. He said that Jake Locker would be worthy of the No. 1 QB in this years draft. Not a chance. NFL scouts said he was out of his mind. He previously predicted that Andre Woodson from Kentucky would be a great 1st round pick for someone. He’s no longer in the NFL.

The fool only makes news to make news. A product of American FAIL.

Ulatoski was in his pre-season top-10. Yikes.

He’s invited to the NFL combine, so we will how good a prospect he is and how bad Mcshitty of a coach is.

I posted our potential 2010 basketball lineup over at BON a few days back. Unless J’Covan has a major epiphany over the next month and a half, I think Barnes desperately needs Cory Joseph to pledge Burnt Orange.

I’m not sure if it’s a money thing (assuming Texas isn’t one of those teams that pay players under the table), but if I’m a top flight point guard, I recognize that the coaches at Texas (Ford, Augustin) and Kentucky (Rose, Evans, Wall) have the pedigree and the showcase for me to make in the the league. And if I’m Barnes, I’d recognize that I need a freakin’ awesome 1 to get my team anywhere in life.

Any news on when Joseph will announce?

Our double team on Suh consisted of the Center (Chrissy Hall) and Suh taking on the RG.

Really like your daily stuff, Nickel. Keep it coming.

Dixon may have a tough time making an impact at Baylor at all. Didn’t I read he enrolled at Navarro JC? May never make it to Baylor. That makes me laugh a little.

While I agree that Suh is a monster and they’re is no doubt that McShay is an ass clown. Although I don’t think he’s licensed. Cue Anthony Michael Hall. I will point out that Mayock from NFL Network has McCoy #1 and Suh #2, although he admitted that he doesn’t have a strong preference and it’s a coin flip. Depends on how you feel about Mayock, I guess, but it’s not out of the realm of thought to have both DTs rated fairly close. I take Suh, but McCoy’s pretty darn good as well. He may not crap helmets like Tommie Harris did before injury, but he should be good. We allowed Suh to have the game of his life and it made him a lot of money and unfortunately it cost Colt the Heisman (I’ll never forgive Hall, Tanner and McWhorter).

NY Horn: yeah that’s true. I can’t remember for sure but I think Texas tried to run away from Suh a number of times and double Crick. Those instances resulted in Suh reaching the play very easily and destroying it for a loss. The attempts to double him didn’t really fare any better.

Bateman: I think McCoy is a really excellent tackle and I would draft him to my team without hesitation because I value the position, but Suh is so far and beyond him. I think these guys are getting lost in McCoy’s reputation and likely combine numbers or something because there is no way that tape evaluation says that McCoy is anywhere close.

Nebraska built their entire defense around Suh, begged opposing teams to try and stop them, and he led them in tackles for 2 consecutive seasons…McCoy lined up next to Jeremy Beal and in front of 3 solid to really good linebackers. If I were a Rams fan I would be leading demonstrations in the streets for Suh.

Any person who watched more than five minutes of college football last year and came away thinking McCoy is better than Suh is a certifiable fucking idiot. In fact, Suh has no peer. None, nada. Nobody does what he does.
PB – I read the same thing about Dixon enrolling at Navarro. It gives me the warm-fuzzies knowing that the Curse of Mack is alive and well…

Tommie Harris is one of the most overrated players in the league. His team actually plays better without him.

I don’t really give a damn about mock drafts. They are all about generating web traffic. No one could credibly make an argument that McCoy is better than Suh.

Joseph is not a PG FWIW. He will play off guard in college. Especially at Texas…

Whither Kabongo? I was under the impression he had already committed?

Kabongo is a junior, I believe. Another year before he joins us.

“Kabongo is a junior, I believe. Another year before he joins us.”

Unfortunately, this is true. sigh Not to mention 6-5 SG Sheldon McClellan and 6-8 SF DeAndre Daniels.

Reminds me of when, in 2001, Mel Kiper Jr. decided at the last minute that he was WAY WAY smarter than conventional wisdom and that Kenyatta Walker from Florida was the best offensive lineman in the draft due to his quick feet, and that Leonard Davis wasn’t fit to carry his strap du coq sportif…obnoxiously and gratuitiously adding “Kenyatta Walker is better!” anytime anybody mentioned Davis’ name on-air….Walker was drafted mid-1st round by Tampa and was thrown to the wolves as starting left tackle as a rookie where he was absolutely atrocious, committing penalties, unable to block even the wispiest or leaden-footed of speed rushers. He had one game I watched (forget against who) where he turned in a Chris Hall vs. Ndamukong Suh style meltdown of a performance giving up 3-5 sacks and getting benched and losing his starting job. He quickly got the Bust label and lived up to it (though in fairness he did play on their super bowl team) and was last seen on the Toronto Argonaut Practice Squad in 2008.

Davis meanwhile…etc.

Kiper was at least right that Davis wasn’t a tackle, his success has come at guard. Of course, he’s had success.
We might see the same thing from Okung and Trent Williams who are projecting really high as left tackles. I don’t think either of these guys approach sure things at Left tackle in the NFL but I’m sure they will contribute some value. Top 10 value though?

Joseph is a combo guard that has more PG skills then the 3 headed monster that we have right now. My understanding is that he wants to play PG in college. He is very good going to the bucket and can finish, strong at 6’3" , great all around game ,3’s are no problem for him, mid range game needs work, passes well,makes good passes, rebounds well for his size, Defense is above average.
He is leaning to Minny and playing with his brother, Tx is down about third if my information is correct. He would do well at Texas if he didn’t blow up with you know who.
A trade is possible if ricky wants to let Hill, Lucas, and a player to be named later go for Joseph. I am sure that ricky will not let any seniors go in a trade, as in Mason .
