Running back LenDale White didn't run the 40 because of a sore hamstring, and did 15 reps in the bench-press - only one more than punter Tom Malone. Plus, he weighed in at 244 pounds, which is probably more than what NFL teams want.
-CBSSportsline report on USC Pro Day

Reggie Bush put up 225 24 times, as did many of the QBs (Cutler had 23 reps i think) Dudes 245 and can only put up 225 15 times? I could put it up like 9 times when I was 210 pound junior in high school (tore my rotator cuff during my junior year so now I cant bench :mad: ) and my benching was probably my worst 'football core lift.' I am sure there are dudes who here can put up 225 15 times, if you work out regularly for a few years without injuries it is not that hard, especially for a D1 athlete, all they do is work out. Plus he hasn't run a timed 40 like EVER. I think his stock is dropping a lot, he'll still be good in the pros probably since he can obviously play ball but hes losing himself a lot money. I think only doing 15 reps shows a lack of worth ethic, as does the weight.

He's probably praying to drop to the Colts.

lol wouldn't surprise me

Broncos

FUCK THE BRONCOS they got rb's

Yeah about the Jets schedule, Ferret. Also, all their hard games are at home.

Tatum Bell & Ron Dayne, woooo :o

Tunder and Lightning :love:

So he wants to lose millions of dollars so he can play for the Colts? Makes sense

Yeah, what kind of idiot would take less money to play for a championship?

Oh that's right, like 80% of the Patriots! :roll:

That 80% didnt get the memo. Patriots dont play for championships anymore. Wild card births maybe.

Whos to say he wouldnt play for a championship team in the first place? It's not like he was projected to go top 15 or anything plus you cant compare it to a player taking a pay cut on an established team, there is no promise that just because he is falling he will fall to the Colts. The Colts pick is only a few away from the 2nd round, so lets the Colts dont pick him and slips to the 2nd round. That's a huge difference in money and football is a business man, I don't blame these guys for going out and getting as much money possible what if he blows a knee out or something? I highly doubt he is doing bad so he can picked up by the Colts, he could have put up great numbers and still not have broken the top 15. Personally I think his workouts just show poor work ethic.

I let the games and the video speak for themselves. Did you watch the Rose Bowl? Texas had one of the best defenses in the country and White ran all over them. He was doing that shit all year. I dont know why his workouts were so pathetic and i do believe he's not in good shape, but wasnt he out of shape in the Rose Bowl? Look if this guy gets picked by any team. He'll get whipped into shape during training camp. I trust that issue would be resolved. Lendale White will be crazy good in the NFL.

Oh no that isn't my point, the guy can definetely play some football. I'm just talking from a teams perspective I guess. It doesnt really matter the actually stats of the results, but those results pretty much show he hasn't been working hard in the offseason. A lot teams will view that has an negative ON TOP of the pretty weak testing results. All he is doing is losing himself a ton of money, figured he would want to go out and get as much as he can now becuase you never know might happen. The tailback that started over him when he was a freshmen (Hershel Dennis) just blew out his knee for a second time, so I am surprised something like that isn't on his mind.

People keep saying the Colts will take some guy named Joseph Addai.

He gets picked by the Broncos, he gets 2k yards easily. He gets picked up by the Colts, he'll get 2000 all-purpose yards. Steelers? He'll probably get a ring. Same with the Panthers. But one thing is for certain: Even now, it would be hard for him to fall out of the top 20. Many draft boards had him top-10 before the workouts, so that whole "top 15" thing doesn't work. But I doubt he would do so hot on any team in the top 15. But then, any given year eh? The big-3 HBs last year did make the playoffs (or get very close, like the Dolphins), of course Cedric doesn't count, being dead and all. But I just think that he wants to get with a championship-caliber team, and isn't quite smart enough to realize 1) Like you said, money, and 2) This year's lottery team might be next year's cinderella.

But whatever, 15 reps, that's hilarious. Though I would imagine it's hard to do too many reps if your hammy is fucked. Especially if you don't do it right, and jerk your leg, or whatever. I hope he does an individual workout and puts up at least 25. He does that, he won't look quite so retarded.

They were giving Nick Mangold (projected #1 Center in the draft) shit on some show becuase he got 2 less reps than Jay Cutler. Usually QBs dont do even do the benchpress, Culter just did it to show off haha

The Patriots signed Martin Gramatica :|

He probably spent his entire college career practicing workouts and interviews so that he would get top-10 money. He joined a shit squad so he wouldn't suffer from Tom Brady/Drew Henson disease, where you slip to #6 because there is too much talent to go around.

Paper All Star. I love it. But fuck you Mangold, Eslinger is your daddy.

And the Pats shoulda gotten Edinger. He was "clutch" for the Vikes last year.

:lol:

Favre is still deciding, and frankly I'm happy. This will force Thompson to REALLY go for Woodson. And also, I want him to take his time and make the correct choice.

This press conference happens every year in Mississippi for his charity/foundation thing, and this year the media just blew it up into a "Will he retire or not?" conference. Every little time the man speaks people are going nuts thinking he will decide.

And then you have those (non Packer) fans saying how he's holding team hostage, you hate how he's drawing it out, etc.....if you aren't a Packer fan what do you care? If someone like McNabb wouldn't really have any feelings towards it.

Because we constantly have to hear about it. I was a Favre fan before and was interested to see what he'd do, but I honestly couldn't give a shit now

:rofl:

Today's Sportscenter said "Favre makes the decision that Packers fans have been waiting to hear" and then said that he is still undecided what the heck

It was just a big hype thing they did. I was 80% sure he wasn't going to have a decision. The conference was about his foundation though anyways, so there was another reason I wasn't expecting to hear much.

Packers | Favre told Thompson he was retiring
Sat, 8 Apr 2006 12:59:41 -0700

ESPN's Ed Werder reports at one point last week, Green Bay Packers QB Brett Favre felt he was being pressured into an answer by the team about his future so he told general manager Ted Thompson he was retiring. Thompson then told Favre to take a step back and spend more time making his decision.

10. Arizona Cardinals – Vince Young, QB, Texas. It's hard to imagine Young falling this far, but there seems to be only a lukewarm buzz around him since his pro day and personal workouts began. The theory – once again revived since his pro day – is that Young is going to be a guy who needs to sit a year (or maybe two) before taking over a starting job. Some things to consider about Arizona: Dennis Green has worked with guys who have similar styles to Young in Randall Cunningham and Daunte Culpepper, and Cardinals quarterback coach (Mike Kruczek) was the guy who helped develop Culpepper when he was the head coach at Central Florida.

:( I wish

Just saw this now - haha how can you even say that? You are a Colts fan...

Because the Colts' superbowl is Colts/Patriots. They don't need a ring. Remember last year? Nobody ever expected Manning to actually do anything in the playoffs.

Do you know anything about the media? They were tipped off by a Packers aide that the decision would come at the press conference, and even if they were not tipped off it would be their job to go there. The whole point of media is getting the scoop, and if a superstar is in the news comtemplating retirement, you damn well don't miss a press conference he is holding.

That being said, he will be back. You don't make this much of a deal if you aren't, he just wants to stir the Packers up so that they really do try to win when he comes back. Charlie Walters, the guy for the St. Paul Pioneer Press who just pulls shit out of his ass, said that Favre was considering Minnesota. Sorry Charlie, but no. I would love it, but that is just too retarded.

Manning beat the Patriots one time!!! WOO!!!!!!!!!

Manning has 3 wins the playoffs, Brady has 3 rings.

But the Colts are 'better' now, yet they both lost in the 2nd round this year.

The Colts are better now. Hate to break that to you. I mean i recognize your teams " 3 rings " , but please dont tell me the Patriots are a better team then the Colts right now.

BTW why is it when you talk shit about the Colts. The only person you can talk shit about is Manning. As if its Manning vs the Patriots. We get it. Manning chokes, but like i said. The Colts are better then the Patriots . They were better last year and they still are better. So all your Manning chokes bs is fine . Just dont forget who the better team is.

And i know. You're gunna tell us all about the " 3 rings " and how great they once were. Save it. We've all heard about it the past couple of years and now its time to let that go. Its in the books. Dont use the past to make some stupid argument about how the Patriots are better then the Colts right now. Actually go ahead. Amuse me.

Honestly. I dont think the Patriots are the best team in the AFC east. I think Miami is better and i think the Patriots will be battling for a Wild Card this year. Probably wont even get it either.

I don't think the Patriots have the "better team", aside from a few key players (IE: Brady, of course), but nothing would do me any more good than to see them completely demolish the Colts. And that's what I'm hoping for, personally. (Nothing against the Colts as a TEAM, but anything with a Peyton (not Eli. I like Eli.) Manning win completely turns my stomach.)

But I'm with RP about the whole Miami thing. I have a feeling that the fins will be back with a vengeance this year. Or so I'm hoping.

I think the Patriots still have a good team. Their defense is still good they will probably be in a lot of low scoring games, and they can plug in their holes in the draft.

Since the Colts won last, then yeah I guess you could call them the better team. We'll see what happens this season though, a lot of people think the Patriots lost a ton of important guys but I dunno, outside of that piece of shit kicker then signed I don't think its as bad as everyone is making it out to be. Colts just lost one of the best running backs in the NFL, plus a starting linebacker and defensive tackle. No way the Colts are better this year than last, last year was their best shot to win it all and they blew it. I'd be extremely surprised if the Colts ever win the Superbowl. The only person everyone talks shit about is Manning because anytime the Colts do good the only person anyone talks about is Manning, it goes both ways. Unless it's Manning himself, when the Colts lose he blames it on his offensive line.

Maybe thats because the offensive line sucked.

It was better than the Patriots offensive line, though!

Or maybe because the entire offense sucked and got out played by the Steelers Defense, it wasn't just the offensive line that sucked. Manning sucked too, he got the luckiest break ever after somehow his pass right to Troy Palamaluo got overturned and they still didn't win. Not dumping it off to Dallas Clark and throwing to the endzone instead on the final drive was the O-Line's fault though, not his.
