PRO DAYS

Two NFL coaches attend Georgia Tech’s pro day

Posted: March 9th, 2009 | NFL.com Staff | Tags: Andrew Gardner, Darryl Richard, Georgia Tech, Jahi Word-Daniels, Michael Johnson, Tony Clark, Vance Walker

Georgia Tech’s pro day took place today in Atlanta, and officials from 26 NFL teams attended. That included two head coaches — the Carolina Panthers’ John Fox and the Atlanta Falcons’ Mike Smith. NFL.com’s Gil Brandt has the report.

Well, two years ago Fox went to Clemson's pro day even though everybody knew Gaines Adams would go top five and our pick was the teens (most people saw DE as a need since Rucker was old and coming off an injury).

Translated: probably means little about actual intent.

However the team is obviously scouting DE's and CB's since the future of Peppers and Lucas is up in the air.

all clubs are going to scout the top talent even if they have no chance of getting them, it's being thorough and they can keep records and such

also it makes sense that fox would go as it is pretty close to charlotte, I think we are the closest team to GT other than the falcons

I wouldn't assume that Fox was at Clemson's pro day in 2007 to view Adams exclusively. We needed a center, and drafted Kalil in the second round that year (the second center taken). Dustin Fry from Clemson was the fourth center taken in the 2007 draft. Just sayin...I agree with your post about intent, but don't exactly agree with how you got to that point. Fox could be at GT to look at a number of players, not just Johnson. There's DTs Richard and Walker and DE Robertson. All are likely second to third round picks. Sounds like a pretty good pro-day to go to considering our needs and current draft position.

Yeah, you scout your top rated prospects because you never know what's gonna fall in your lap on draft day.

Johnson is a freak, but I'm concerned about the "tin man" rap on him... I would take a guy with 1/2 the talent and twice the heart. Mayock pointed out that there are games when Johnson was invisible.

    • 38 seconds in tells me he is full of poo and is spinning for clicks. You know how they say in court, where if they lie once you can assume they are lying always?  To me Riddick is doing a pretty spiteful thing I think, by putting those words in someone's mouth. Unless he knows that is true. Which I doubt. An honest person would not have said that to Tepper, so he basically assaulting Canales. It is not Canales' fault that Young will not adhere to the the coaching he was obviously given. And of course I am referring to that Buffalo series and the very noticeable footwork change. Evidence that he had the opportunity to be a better player but reverted to his wonky ass 'techniques'. Because it is fuging hard not to. But that is still on Young for not getting that done. And unless he gets it done he is just a fraud. A wannabe NFL quarterback, playing at it. I mean NFL quarterbacks are kicking his ass, even the rookies.  If he works to change this steadily he may be able to get it ingrained in a couple more months. That is as optimistic as I can be for him.  Riddick though, I don't don't listen to sports talk any more except what youtube clips I like but I used to think pretty highly of him. This is pretty sad, to see this scapegoating.  I can put words into Canales mouth too: "Mr Tepper, I have a pretty good feel for working with these guys, and have had some luck with it. You know Baker pretty well. That's my work with him.  But I have to be honest, I'm not sure i can promise I can fix Bryce. He has many challenges. There are things we can do to help but so much of it is up to him. If he is willing to listen and work, I am sure we can make him a better QB. How good will be up to him."   blah blah blah blah      
    • Can they play QB? And some stuff from Ride the Lightning, too?
    • When dementia gripped my grandmother (and eventually took her), we each spent time with her and would try to correct her to what was reality and what wasn't. It was very tough on my Dad who she lived with for as long as they could care for her.  It seemed like she had become detached from her own timeline and would slide up and down it wildly. As my Dad said, "somedays I'm me to her, somedays I'm my Dad, somedays I'm her father, somedays I'm just the guy who works here. I tried correcting her but it just upset her. I found out that the best thing is to just not correct her and let her live out where ever and whenever she is."  And I'm not going to lie, it gets tough and eventually they leave their own timeline and it becomes unmanageable. Hold on to yourself and the ones you love through it all. Prayers for you and yours, man.
