Pro Day Notes: Hurst, O'Korn and More
In looking over Twitter and various news reports, some tidbits I garnered from Michigan's Pro Day today:
- Mo Hurst apparently did quite well. Ran a low 4.9 40 and put up 29 reps on the bench press.
- Haven't seen photos, but Shane Morris was apparently invited to throw at our Pro Day.
- Biggest news came from John O'Korn, who declared himself the most NFL-ready of all QB prospects, and said that he'd take himself No. 1. And it looks like he was also offering two tickets to the gun show.
If he keeps talking like that and somehow makes the NFL, O'Korn is going to get creamed!
To be fair, that quote is taken out of context. He was saying that based on his knowledge of game planning because he helped game plan with the coaches at Michigan, that he would take himself over others on that facet only. He commented that based on how he saw other QBs struggle with grasping concepts at all-star games and workout days.
Then again, maybe his participation in game planning last year was part of the problem. :)

There's really no excuse for putting that phony O'Korn quote up and for not retracting it. Disgraceful

“Honestly, I think I’m the most NFL-ready quarterback in this draft just as far as terminology, and knowing what to do on a day-to-day basis, game-planning,” O’Korn said Friday. “I was part of the game-plan meetings with coach Harbaugh, coach (Pep) Hamilton, the whole staff, coach (Tim) Drevno, all last fall, so just on a day-to-day basis what it takes to be an NFL quarterback, I think I would choose myself over any other guy in this draft in that regard.” [italics added]

In its entirety, not that absurd. He knows he's not going to get picked up for what he's shown on the field and wants to grab someone's attention to catch on for something.

....as long as he did not say that he has a decided schematic advantage over the other prospects, he could be o.k.

He'll definitely have a seat waiting for him at Related Properties.
Who is this More fellow?
Ahh, that's why your -1367.
Naa. That's only part of it. I said something that felt good to say about a political figure I'm not a fan of in a thread that was obviously about to implode (which it did in short order.) I earned my punishment, or whatever.
Being a smartass is probably only responsible for -500 or so since.

This is not wiscy.
Good thing they don't drug test at the combine.
Oh yeah, your right. I was starting the Friday drinking thread before it's posted. I meant pro-day.
for the start of the season
When did he break his foot ? He looked perfectly fine as of last week. This just happened ?

I googled "NFL" to see what else it could possibly mean to better understand what he's talking about. I got nothing.
Here is a pic of Shane with a couple unnamed guys.
EDIT: I don't know how to resize . . . I just copied the URL. Anyway, the point is that he was there.

What if they're "un-nametags" Walter.

Is this your homework Larry?
