Cherry 1,302 Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) Fellas I've finally made my way to the big time. I'll be at the weigh-ins and media stuff in the AM, and will be attending the practices from Tuesday through Thursday. Let me know if you've got any questions for players or anything you want me to keep an eye out for. Some early notes - Utah DL Leki Fotu and Louisiana OT Robert Hunt are fucking huge. - Heard a Patriots scout chatting with Maryland S Antoine Brooks for like an hour and a half. Insane how in-depth they went compared to a lot of the other interviews I heard around here. - Cal S Ashtyn Davis and Washington C Nick Harris were pretty impressive. Harris seemed a little small for an interior lineman though. I'm curious to see what he weighs in at tomorrow. BTW I made eye contact with Mike Tomlin and got a "why are you here" look lol. Passed Mayock as well later on in the afternoon. Crazy hearing him up close. Edited February 25, 2020 by Cherry 3 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Omerta+ 1,206 Posted January 22, 2020 Dude that is fucking bomb. I’m super proud of you and I don’t even know you. This is the American dream. A young dumb kid with an obsession who is relentless. Look at you dude. So fucking stoked. This is why you NEVER listen when people say the American dream is dead. They are pathetic losers who try to keep others from realizing success. Good job dude. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Insane how in-depth they went compared to a lot of the other interviews I heard around here. - I really liked Utah EDGE Bradlee Anae on tape but he struggled pretty badly in the interview I overheard. Seemed a little bit out of his element and a tick slow with understanding questions. Think some scouts will give him the meathead label. - Cal S Ashtyn Davis and Washington C Nick Harris were pretty impressive. Harris seemed a little small for an interior lineman though.

You've poured a lot of heart and soul into this and its awesome seeing someone just go after something they've dreamed about. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cherry 1,302 Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) So some cool things to note - Weigh-ins are fucking wild and I loved taking all the body notes. Planning to release some articles about it. - Joe Brady, conductor of the LSU buzzsaw, sat about 15 feet to my right during the practices. - Sean Payton walked into the tiny hole-in-the-wall pizza place I was eating at last night. - I sat and watched tape beside Reggie McKenzie in the XOS film room.

Every time someone says some shit like the American dream is dead I just ask them what they're doing to pursue it. Usually the answer is something along the lines of "I don't know" or "I haven't tried". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He stood out to a lot of people in LB vs RB/TE coverage drills. He's put together nicely but not as long or as athletic as I anticipated. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
