mistertim Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hey everyone, Has anyone here who is watching today heard them mention any reason for Jamaal Anderson not working out? From previous interviews it seemed like he was certainly planning on it since he was estimating his 40 time, etc. It is unfortunate and makes me wonder what the deal is.

RedskinzOwnU Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 probably because he knows he is a top pick and he has nothing to gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertim Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 probably because he knows he is a top pick and he has nothing to gain. Well I remember in an interview he said he was confident he could run the 40 between 4.5 and 4.7. If he ran a 4.6 40 at 6'6 288 that would be pretty freakish an I'd think it would easily put him at the #1 DE spot. I suppose he either knows he might not run it that well or he thinks he will be picked very early anyway. It is just frustrating because I was really looking forward to seeing what he could do.

You'll have to wait a few more years for that Especially if he ends up on the skins.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregpeck99 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 He's slow and can't bench press ... look at BQuinn ... he benched 24 times ... do you want a defensive end who can't left as well as a QB? As I've said before all of the elite defensive lineman likely to be available at 6 are so-so. If the Skins stay at 6 and want to go DL ... they should take Adam Carriker who will be better than any of the 3 so-called "studs" (Adams, Branch and Anderson).

Wait how do you know he can't bench press? It isn't like Adams where he did everything but the bench press. He apparently isn't doing any workouts. As far as "slow" I sort of doubt that seeing how many sacks he had this past year. He might not be as fast as Adams but I'm sure he isn't bad.

kevin11 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Carriker seems more like a 3-4 DE then a 4-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tastes Like Chicken Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 In regards to the bench press, tall lanky guys with long arms are at a disadvantage to short, barrel body guys with short arms. Besides, what does the bench press mean in terms of playing football? I mean, Arch Deluxe has his own workout videos and flings barbells up into the air. He couldn't play worth **** last year. Andre Carter is ripped like an action figure. But until mid-season, he was performing beneath the level of Renaldo Wynn. But if bench presses are your thing, Tank Tyler did like 42 reps, and will likely slip into Round Two. Trade down maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsinparadise Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 It's noticeable to me that they aren't really hyping up Anderson on the NFL network. Their draft person said he doesn't rate Anderson as high as others -- and ranks him below Adams, Jarvis Moss, and Carriker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siven Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 anderson was a WR till his soph year, the man is a beast if he got that many sacks/tackles for a loss. I think the guys with the biggest potential are Adams and Anderson and maybe Amobi Okoye (I think hes too small for what we need) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any specific reason he gave for putting him below all 3 of those guys? I'd think leading the SEC in sacks and being 2nd in tackles for loss would at least give him a #2 spot.

Morneblade Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 My guess is that his 40 was slower then he wanted it to be. He had been quoted as saying he could run between 4.5-4.7. If he ran like 4.8 before the combine he thought it might drop his stock. Just my guess though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flexxskins Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 All I know is Calvin Johnson is alot faster than I ever imagined. A 3.35 40? Damn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siven Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 he was a receiver at first, maybe if we draft him we fulfill our needs of a possesion WR and a dominant DE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistertim Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 i couldn't find a story about Anderson on that. It is just a little blurb: "Jamaal Anderson (Arkansas) was also injured" I guess that explains it then. Wonder what happened to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He apparently isn't doing any workouts. As far as "slow" I sort of doubt that seeing how many sacks he had this past year. He might not be as fast as Adams but I'm sure he isn't bad. B/c it pails in comparison to CJ's 322 reps of 700lbs, his 2.3 40 time, red cape and flashy blue tights. Did I mention CJ can cure cancer too?
