Quick question for the room...

Why is no one talking about the two most interesting tidbits I found out about recently in the "Beast"?

#1 Will Cambell has had a ton of flags over the last couple of seasons: 14 flags with 7 false starts.

#2 Ashton Jeanty has had a lot of fumbles: 5 last season (one called back for penalty) and 9 in the last two seasons.

We probably won't hear about them at all until right after the Bears draft one of them I'm sure.
Because teams think they are correctable.

Tiki Barber was known to fumble a lot. Coughlin tweaked his technique on how he would carry the ball and helped him reduce fumbles.

Same with penalties for Orlando Pace, Zach Martin, and John Hannah.

Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn’t.

Kaleb will be a Bear.

Based on their visits outside of Blue and Smith, the guys they’re interested in all probably have to be drafted by 41.

Eddie George let it out of the bag that they asked for a lot of information on Judkins too.

Supposedly, Bieniemy is fond of Henderson.

I like Henderson, but I think he goes in the 1st. That’s going to leave Judkins, Scat, or Kaleb. Just calling my shot, but I think it’s Kaleb.

That is absolutely who I want that will reasonably be there at 10.

I’ve been correct about (and agreed with) the last three number one picks although Caleb was a given.
The crazy part about the whole process is that during the college season everyone was all about Banks Jr. and Campbell. The narrative didn't really switch until people stopped watching the game film and started nit picking measurements

Johnson loves to run the ball. Banks Jr. is an excellent run blocker. He’s a solid pass protector too and should only get better being coached by Roushar.

That’s not really true. The offseason is the time where people are dissecting the film. How can people make conclusive decisions during the season without complete info? At minimum, people need time to break down everyone’s tape and that’s a tall ask during the season.

Idk that I'd say he's an excellent run blocker. He reminds me of Braxton in the run game in that he's really good out in space on screens and outside zone runs. But interior runs he doesn't displace defenders. He does a good enough job walling them off, but I'm a bit surprised he doesn't move guys better because he clearly has a solid base.

I love how the amateur scouting community is so bad that they completely missed on this guy up until a little over a month ago.

He wasn't even on the radar in most places and now he's a Top-15 player.

He's not a top 15 player. Where do you come up with this shit?
