2023 was a tough year tbh. A lot transpired that I didn’t have control of. I was anticipating and excited for the new year because of how 23 went.
But, Oh baby, 2024 is PERSONAL for me. I’m coming to take everything that belongs to me.
Stay Tuned!!

“Why align in press if you’re not going to jam the wr”?
You don’t have to if you can move with em.
This is a teach tape worthy rep. Soft press, mirror the wr, in phase/read em down, and break with em.
Denzel Ward is an easy mover in man coverage.
I was right behind the DL when this happened. Christian Haynes has that dawg in him. He shouted back at Jordan Jefferson, “if you’re scared go to church”!
Jaxon-Smith Njigba ran a 4.64 coming out of HS. Cooper Kupp ran a 4.62 entering the league.
My point is, do not let 40 times make you pass on good players. Hopefully, we will see a healthy JSN at the combine.
#DamesThoughts
Brandon Lloyd arguably has the most arrogant set of hands to ever grace the gridiron!
We can’t forget the insane body control and hand/eye coordination! Disrespectful!
The Dolphins interest in La'el Collins isn’t surprising. Tua is a lefty, RT is protecting his blindside. Which made the decision by Flores to keep Jesse Davis as the starter for as long as he did more confusing!
Before free agency yesterday, I watched Devon Achane. This is a football player who runs track and not the other way around.
I appreciated his patience and footwork when pressing rushing lanes. He is different than most uber-fast running backs, he understands how to control his…
Hakeem Butler TD for the Battlehawks. That’s 6 receiving touchdowns for him this season.
I think an NFL team will make the call for him to join a roster for training camp this summer/fall.
The Carolina Panthers should call the Texans about acquiring John Metchie after the Diggs trade. Metchie and Bryce were a great connection at Bama. IJS.
Oklahoma WR Marvin Mims on his route tree:
“Oklahoma didn’t ask me to run a technical route tree but I have a trainer and run more routes. I just wasn’t asked to do it for Oklahoma.”
Rejzohn Wright was comfortable in press man alignment versus Jordan Addison.
His patience and punch timing were executed well to remain in phase most of his reps!
I have joined the scouting team for

!
I am excited and grateful for this opportunity! I am looking forward to working alongside this amazing team!
Houston WR Tank Dell was the clear winner of Senior Bowl practices. His height is not going to be for everyone and that’s fine.
That young man’s game is cold 🥶! The variety of releases, foot speed/quickness, route tempo, & route running was fun to see up close!

OU LT Anton Harrison has caught my eye on tape today. His movement skills and ability to climb in the run game are impressive.
I’ve seen multiple plays where he blocks multiple defenders on different levels of the defense!
I’m keeping my eyes on him as the season progresses!
Mike Williams is DONE! I told you this would happen!
Every fantasy football sheep analyst told you to draft this washed up guy in rds 5-6 of drafts! (Knowing full well he gets hurt every year!)
Shame on them! I am the truth to fantasy!

A DB that has my attention this season is Tarheel Trey Morrison!
5’9 195 lbs
🔘 Plays bigger than his size
🔘 Versatile in coverage
🔘 Ultimate competitor
When I watched him, I saw a Budda Baker or Honey Badger-esqe DB! Remember his name this fall!
Oh my, Johnny Wilson! Go up and get it big fella. The 6’7 230+ pound WR will have eyes on him all 2023!
If you love big-body, above-the-rim wide receivers, you’ll love Mr. Wilson!
Mississippi St CB Emmanuel Forbes on his weight:
“I played at 173 but believes he can maintain 181. I played in the SEC and didn’t miss a game due to injury!”
De’Anthony Thomas was unreal at Oregon! Was he drafted ahead of his time? The NFL is more fluid and creative with space players then years and decades prior.
Michigan WR Cornelius Johnson had a good day at Shrine Bowl practice. Displaying releases, hand fighting, verticality, contested catching, and route running.
6’3 208 lbs and moves well. Keeping my eye on how his practices progress from here on out.
Studying WR Ja'Lynn Polk & his RT Roger Rosengarten continues to pop. Good athlete, punch timing, lateral agility, & strength. He had a good week at the Senior Bowl as well.
Measurements:
6'5
311
33 1/8-inch arms
80 1/8 wingspan
This OT class is unlike one we've seen truly.
1st round CB Emmanuel Forbes getting active on the goal line stand. Gets in the backfield and makes the play!
Forbes brings an attitude and toughness to this secondary!

Seeing Justin Herbert struggle with this team reinforces my beliefs. Stop treating QBs like Super Heroes. Folks will scream uplift, make them better, etc. It is the most played-out sentiment in sports. If the WRs can't separate or defeat their guy, the QB can't change that.
Bryce Young isn’t a bust and he will be fine. He needs legit weapons. Get this man some guys that can get open. He’s a passer that’s his bread and butter. If the WRs don’t separate, he isn’t carrying the offense.
I don’t like this offense either.
Wake Forest CB Caelen Carson who he studied and team fits.
“I’m a physical cornerback. I study Jaycee Horn, he’s technical and physical. We workout with the same trainer. I would fit the Panthers, my man coverage is elite. I’m good in any system!”

Josh Palmer vs Bryan Mills
Palmer's shifts gears mid-way through his vertical stem. Mills opens the gate attempting to turn & run, Palmer, explodes across his face towards the goal post!
Palmer will remain a sleeper receiver in this class! ✍️
If Russell Wilson is available, I'd love to see him in Denver. Those weapons and Williams in the backfield would be scary. He'd pull a defender away from JW on the read option calls.
KC would not be a shoe-in as the AFC West champions for the foreseeable future.
This right here needs to be studied! Is it the QBs he prefers that can lift his offense over the hump in this situations? Or something else? Either way this is wild to me.
Tank Dell with the crazy foot fire before breaking on the slant.
He continues to gain ground as he’s working into the DBs air space!
@seniorbowl
WR/DB 1v1s will be 🔥🔥🔥
Jahan Dotson showcases gear/throttle control! He isn’t just a smooth and crafty route runner.
He has the speed to outrun defensive angles. He’s a former 100, 200, and 4x100 champion!
WR/CB 1v1s
Xavier Legette won vertically nearly every rep but passes were out of reach down the field.
Jamari Thrash…🔥🔥🔥
Ladd McConkey always open…24/7
For Kyler Murray to do this wizardry in his first game after his ACL tear is incredible. He was apart of their two most important plays of the game to secure the victory!

After the senior bowl, I began diving into the film. I walked away incredibly impressed by the tools and skillset of Cam Taylor-Britt!
If you need a dude in your secondary, look no further!
