Other positions I get more how guys get passed. But some great lineman came out the B12 this year. And beating out all the left tackles for the award.
Must have been a great leader on that Okie St line.
Oglesby should he pass his physical and Garner seem like fantastic pickups to me. |
Totally cool! Great point. I like it, I like it a lo!

I read that Chase Minnifield's arthroscopic surgery (that hasn't made good progress) was performed by Dr. James Andrews. Have to think that had some impact on the Redskins decision to pursue him.
I wonder where they envision his ceiling to be i.e. nickel corner, reserve FS.

Good point footy. I'm excited about Minnifield, but I'm worried about that knee. I'm thinking he could be a pup candidate or IR even if he doesn't fully recover. We have 3 months till camp starts though. Plenty of time for him to get healthy.
also, before this injury, Minnifield was projected to be a 2-3 round pick. Great pick up in my eyes.
I could see him starting for us in a year or 2, if he gets fully healthy. I'm not sure about the FS switch but who knows, maybe? Right now I'd worry about him getting healthy and just being able to play in preseason.

 hopefully they can get him in better shape. If he can lose like 15-20 lbs and improves his quickness, he's got a chance to make the team.

He had microfracture surgery in January. That sort of surgery is rather slow-healing. Minnefield said that there was very little swelling which is a good sign. IR can always be an option if they believe he has potential. |

http://orthopedics.about.com/od/hipknee/a/microfracture.htm
Incase posters don't understand how serious micro fracture surgery is:
| Quote: | How is a microfracture procedure performed?
A microfracture is performed as part of an arthroscopic knee surgery.
First, the area undergoing microfracture is prepared by removing any loose or damaged cartilage. Ideally, the area undergoing microfracture will be less than about 2 centimeters in diameter and have good, healthy surrounding cartilage. Then, a small, sharp pick (awl) is used to create the small microfracture holes in the bone. The number of microfracture holes created depends on the size of the are being treated. Most patients with a 1 to 2-centimeter area of damage require 5 to 15 small holes in the bone.
The real key to treatment is appropriate rehabilitation following the microfracture surgery. Rehabilitation must protect the area treated by microfracture as well as maintain the strength and motion of the knee joint. |
Malcom Kelly had it two years ago and returned fine from it, it helped him.

I'm guessing 2 of these guys make the roster or practice squad.
Anyone want to guess which two?

Rushed for 1074 yds and 10 Tds last year.
I watched some you tube of him, he's fast a one cut and downhill runner. He didn't seem to waste time behind the line. Finds a hole and hits it. He's a good pass receiver, to begin the year they had moved him to slot WR but their other rb had an injury they said and they moved him back.
http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=113191&draftyear=2013&genpos=RB
| Quote: | 01/24/12 - . That said, look at the burst and agility he shows as a runner in scoring this touchdown as well as the ability to track the ball over his shoulder on this score. At minimum he'll get a tryout and should Turner get a real opporutnity (like the Scouting Combine) who knows what could happen. One of the most tried and true strategies I use when evaluating prospects is to listen to other players. Who knows better than they which athletes really are a step ahead of the others? Sims-Walker certainly is going to be loyal to his friend but his strong words predicting Turner's future success in the pros doesn't just sound like loyalty. It sounds like an NFL athlete who knows the goods when he sees it. "I keep telling everybody it's just a waiting game," Sims-Walker told Geoff Grammer of The New Mexican in August of 2010. When he (Sims-Walker), Turner and [Chris] Johnson work out together, he said, it is Turner who sets the pace. "New Mexico State got a steal, and I promise you he'll be (in the NFL). I'll put my house on it. Kenny Turner will be in the league." - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com
]01/24/12 - Turner has had an circuitous route to the announcement, which was made via the official New Mexico State Athletics website. As NFLDraftScout.com's No. 32 rated running back of the class of 2013, the decision may at first appear surprising. Turner, 26, was viewed as one of the best athletes in the state of Florida when he allowed a momentary act of youthful self-preservation change his life. Turner and a group of friends, including current Jacksonville Jaguar wide receiver Mike Sims-Walker got into a heated verbal altercation with another group of young men outside of a Orlando, Florida gas station in July of 2002. The argument escalated into violence when a member of the other group fired a gun. Thomas, then 16, took a gun from the car in which his group was riding in and fired back, injuring two from the rival group. Despite his young age, the seriousness of the crime led to Turner being tried as an adult and for two counts of attempted murder. Prosecutors were willing to drop the two attempted murder charges if Turner agreed to plead guilty to one count of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. Turner was sentenced to and served five years in prison. - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com |
Troubled past though, hopefully he's learned an stays away from Meriweather and Tanard Jackson.
