Skip Bayless is about to have a heart attack: Skip Bayless @ RealSkipBayless 28m Tim Teb*w was just signed by the one NFL coach who will give him a real chance to do what he does best. Thank you, Chip Kelly. 27m I've been closely following the Teb*w-to-Eagles signing and will provide details tomorrow at 10 a.m. E, ESPN2. 25m The Eagles just became the NFL's most interesting team. 22m In 1st full season as starter, Teb*w took 1-4 team to div title, won playoff game, had NFL's best QBR last 5 mins. DESERVES THIS SHOT.

Jay Glazer @ JayGlazer 55m Eagles spent time w Tebows qb coach Tom House and are convinced he's improved a lot. House told Albert Breer of NFL Media on Monday: “He’s busted his butt. He spins the ball better than he did and he’s much more accurate than he was. I think he’s ready.” http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/03/17/tom-house-declares-tim-The Golden Calf of Bristol-ready-to-play/

this Eagles QB line-up is worth the price of admission to camp: Sam Bradford Mark Sanchez Matt Barkley The Golden Calf of Bristol

Seven-year NFL veteran S Matt Bowen (30 starts for 3 teams, primarily at SS) on Dorsett: On whether Dorsett's speed translates to the field: "the speed and the lateral movement that allow him to separate versus coverage is legit. They flashed every day on the practice field when I watched Dorsett at the Senior Bowl, and they absolutely jump off the screen on the game tape. ... "SPEED…RIDICULOUS SPEED" ... That's exactly what I wrote in my notes on the first day of Senior Bowl workouts when watching him ... This guy could fly. Like he was shot out of a cannon or something. ... and could change directions. ... crazy speed ... speed and sudden burst ...speed and acceleration ... the speed of Dorsett, it's going to cost you" [$$$$$ too] On Dorsett as a deep threat: "At times, the deep ball is a layup for Dorsett because of his ability to just blow past a safety over the top or beat a cornerback ... That's just too easy. ... You want a receiver that can blow the roof off the secondary? Then take a look at Dorsett." [imagine him with Cam's long-range cannon arm] On whether Dorsett is a one-trick-pony: "it wasn't just the deep ball that stood out... Dorsett displayed a lightning fast burst at the top of the break on the quick slant, and he could win inside on the option route by pulling away from a defender's leverage or snap back to the ball on the curl route.... I want to highlight the ability of Dorsett underneath as a receiver that can produce after the catch on a basic shallow crossing route from the back side of the formation. ... we see the speed and acceleration after the catch from Dorsett as he turns a shallow crossing route into an explosive gain. ... That's a luxury to have on offense when the quarterback can throw a high-percentage ball (inside breaking route) ... bring him underneath to get him the ball in space ... At the NFL combine in Indianapolis, Dorsett put on a show with an..6.70 second three-cone time—the top time for a wide receiver. That's where you see the immediate, quick and sudden change-of-direction speed along with the explosive ability ... If you are looking for a pro comparison on Dorsett: T.Y. Hilton... a receiver who can run the vertical game and also create issues for opposing defenses underneath because of his ability to produce chunks of yardage after the catch. ... Dorsett is the type of prospect who brings the same type of big-play ability to the next level. He has the speed to beat defenses over the top, the lateral quickness to win at the line of scrimmage versus press and the open-field burst to turn a slant or option route into an explosive play by eliminating angles from the secondary. Remember, this isn't just a track guy in pads who runs the occasional go route. Dorsett played in a pro-style system down in Miami, averaged over 20 yards per catch and can win on a variety of route concepts from outside the numbers or in the slot." http://m.bleacherreport.com/articles/2421996-miami-receiver-phillip-dorsett-has-the-speed-to-burn-nfl-defenses

South Florida Sun-Sentinel Omar Kelly @ OmarKelly Apr 3 Imagine the Patriots with Phillip Dorsett . The thought it a little scary.

Dorsett's interview with Sports Illustrated: http://www.si.com/nfl/2015/03/24/2015-nfl-draft-q-a-phillip-dorsett-miami-hurricanes on last year's WR class: "really impressed. A bunch of rookies came in and contributed right away. I feel like this rookie class right here is going to be a big one, too. We have a lot of guys with a lot of talent who are going to come in and play right away."

there is nobody overblowing Landon's coverage issues as a zone LB/in-the-box-only-"S" in the middle of the field between the hashmarks. Landon himself says the same thing: "I can cover from the middle of the field to the numbers," he said. (he just straight up told you that he can't cover sideline-to-sideline, which is no surprise based on his crappola shuttle time, all he can be safely expected to do is hold down a little zone square over the middle while we pray they don't throw it there) and people are worried he can't even do that well in the Major League but they are much much more worried about his man-to-man coverage ability. Everyone agrees he will get roasted by slot WRs which makes him a complete liability when going against OCs not named Shula, and especially on passing downs. Most agree he will get roasted by athletic TEs/RBs and there is a 50/50 opinion if he could cover scrub receiving TEs/RBs

???????? being a better coverage safety than Collins isn't saying much as Collins one of the worst coverage safeties in the draft. Collins is basically a LB playing SS. Randall is a free safety with very good nickelback potential and decent SS potential too. Landon Collins only has SS and OLB. potential and he's never played OLB. ???????? Landon cost Alabama a chance of finishing the regular season undefeated as Ole Miss beat Alabama 23-17 by taking advantage of Landon's subpar-coverage skills: "Against Ole Miss, Landon Collins was picked on and burned for two touchdowns (34 yd TD pass to tie the game, then a 10 yd TD pass with under 3 min left to win the game), but it should have been even worse as he was all but beaten for another long touchdown by a tight end who ended up dropping the pass. Collins had a lot of trouble in pass coverage" http://walterfootball.com/draft2015bigboard.php It was like how Roman Harper cost the Saints from playing in the NFCCG at the end of the 2011 season when Roman Harper got torched by Vernon Davis all game long in the Saints' 36-32 loss to the 49ers in the playoffs, including for a 49-yard touchdown catch, a 47-yard catch with 40 seconds remaining and the game-winning 14-yard touchdown catch with nine seconds remaining. And it wasn't just Ole Miss that figured out that Landon Collins' liability in coverage was the Achilles Heel of the Bama Defense. Of all draft eligible safeties, Collins was Top Ten in who was thrown at/picked on the most, and Landon got roasted for a 64% completion percentage (84th-worst of safeties last year) https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2015/04/13/cff-player-profile-landon-collins-s/ Landon Collins was basically a LB playing "S" for Bama. He is similar to, but not as athletic as, another former great S for Bama: Roman Harper. Both suck in coverage but Roman Harper was one of the best in-the-box ("extra LB") safeties during his heyday: #1 in the NFL in sacks and FFs for all "safeties" during a good stretch and went to some Pro Bowls. He was a 2nd R talent just like Landon Collins. Harper had a 100-tackle season for Bama just like Landon Collins (Harper had 114, Landon 102) Landon Collins would be a fair shot to get a younger version of Roman Harper in the 2nd. Jaquiski Tartt could also be had in the 2nd and he is more athletic with more upside than Landon Collins Landon Collins is a very subpar athlete for NFL standards: horrific 3 cone (bottom 5% in NFL) which measures your coverage athleticism and terrible short shuttle (bottom 17% in NFL) which measures your sideline-to-sideline speed And Landon himself agrees with this. When told he's only good as a box safety, he said he’s “cool with” the label. "Being in the box, that's where my size allows me to play," Collins said. "The coaching staff at Alabama told me, 'You have to be tough down there and you have to be accountable.' I just had to increase my range and that helped me play sideline to sideline." again, his short shuttle (sideline-to-sideline speed) was terrible Thanks to the great athleticism of Luke and TD, we only have to use two LBs and we run a nickel with 5 DBs (one of which, Roman Harper, acts as our "3rd LB") Landon Collins would be an intriguing prospect in the 2nd to take Harper's role. Or we could get a much better athlete, and much better prospect in the 1st in Shaq Thompson to learn more, here's the thread on Landon in the draft forum here at the Huddle:

Matt Miller @ nfldraftscout 7h Landon Collins not going Rd1 is one of those "surprise" draft day things that wouldn't really be a surprise.

Fantasy Douche @ FantasyDouche Apr 8 Marshawn Lynch played 5 seasons without Russell Wilson and never averaged more than than 4.2 YPC. He's averaged 4.6 since Wilson was drafted.

Cam is waiting on Wilson's contract to set the market...

"I think the Justin Hunter comparison is semi-close. Conley is not as tall as Hunter and I think that Conley is a far better natural hands catcher and route runner ... Conley has natural, soft hands ... he has above average talent for locating, tracking, adjusting to, and high pointing the ball to win contested catches. ... needs to refine his route running ... His route running needs improvement... he will have to work on techniques to gain separation if he is to be consistently productive at the next level. ... In the right system and with the right coaching I think Conley has the potential to be a solid WR #2 in 1-3 years." http://dynastyfootballwarehouse.com/dfw-rookie-profile-wr-chris-conley-georgia/

short film study that concludes: "Chris Conley blew up the Combine. He looks good on tape, too. ... Don’t be surprised if he earns an earlier pick than most anticipated (early Day 3)." http://mattwaldmanrsp.com/2015/02/24/boiler-room-uga-wr-chris-conley/

Greg Gabriel, who was a scout for Giants 1985-2001 before spending 9 years as Director of College Scouting for the Bears (2002-2010): "The problem I have with evaluating Conley is that you don’t see those (impressive combine) numbers on tape. ... I felt he played more like a 4.50 type. ... (in his Combine workout), the only time that was disappointing was his 20 yard shuttle which was 4.30. ... I was a little disappointed in his ability to get off a jam consistently. Once free of a jam, he can break down going into a cut, but I don’t see top explosion coming out of the cuts (slow 20 yard shuttle). ... He is still very much a developmental player in that he needs to become a better route runner and also has to improve his release. After a period of learning, I see him as a player who will be a much better pro than he was a college player. It just won’t happen right away. ... Conley has very good hands and always catches the ball away from his body. He tracks the ball well and can adjust to the poorly thrown ball. After the catch, he is a good runner. ... Overall, Conley’s traits are outstanding, and because of that, he will get drafted high." http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/nfp-prospect-focus-chris-conley-and-justin-hardy/

"A sleeper wide receiver who a lot of teams are hoping continues to go under the radar is Conley. A lot of attention has been paid to the first-round receivers, and Conley is a player who has an early-round skill set, but will be available in the mid-rounds. Conley (6-2, 213) commanded that NFL teams take notice of him with his tremendous 40 time at the Combine of 4.35 seconds. ... Conley is a sleeper pick who could be a mid-round steal in the 2015 NFL Draft." http://www.walterfootball.com/draft2015stock_31.php

This is devastating. Absolutely devastating
