2012 East-West Shrine Game Recap




2012 East-West Shrine Game Recap

By Walt - @walterfootball

Charlie Campbell will have a more detailed East-West Shrine Game Recap. I just want to highlight a few players with some of Mike Mayock's interesting quotes about them.

B.J. Coleman, QB, UT-Chattanooga
B.J. Coleman was impressive in the first half, going 6-of-6 with a touchdown. He showed off his really good arm strength on one throw, and then aired out a nice touch pass to his tight end on the ensuing drive. I also thought his play-action fakes were really effective.

"He's the biggest, most strong-armed quarterback that we've had here this week," Mayock said. "He has NFL talent, but his footwork and mechanics need a lot of work."

Coleman struggled a bit in the second half until the final drive in which he nearly led his team back to victory (he finished 10-of-15 for 170 yards and a touchdown); earlier, he had an open receiver downfield, hesitated, and then settled for an intermediate throw along the sideline, which was ruled incomplete because the running back couldn't stay in bounds.

Still, Coleman has good talent and possesses a good amount of upside as a former Tennessee Vol; as Mayock said, he was "real impressive."

Josh Norman, CB, Coastal Carolina
I didn't notice much of Josh Norman during the game, save for one bad play, but maybe that's not a bad thing for a cornerback.

Mayock was impressed with what Norman did throughout the week, however: "He's the hit of the week. I think he's a top-100 player who can climb into the top two rounds."



Tank Carder, LB, TCU
Mayock said during the broadcast that Tank Carder had a solid week of practice. Carder didn't disappoint during the game, making some nice plays on defense and special teams.

"He's making a bid to move up draft boards," Mayock said.

If you haven't seen it, Carder is running a 2012 NFL Draft Diary on this Web site.

Chandler Harnish, QB, Northern Illinois
Chandler Harnish had a rough outing. He managed to score a rushing touchdown, but otherwise struggled.

Harnish fumbled a snap on his first drive. Northern Illinois' Looney Tunes offense didn't allow him to be under center at all, which is something that will hurt him on Draft Day.

Harnish later tossed an interception on a downfield shot. He simply waited too long, which allowed the safety to come over and pick off the pass. Harnish finished 8-of-14 for 52 yards and the interception. He doesn't look like a professional quarterback to me. Neither do John Brantley (1-of-6, 21 yards) or Dan Persa (1-of-3, 10 yards).

Akiem Hicks, DT, Canada
Canadian Akiem Hicks had a good practice week and capped it off with a solid game. Hicks was one of Mayock's winners.

"He has stiff ankles, but because of his size and athleticism, he's going to get a chance as a late-drafted player," Mayock said.

Shaun Prater, CB, Iowa
Another player whom Mayock is a fan of is Iowa corner Shaun Prater, who had a really good East-West Shrine outing. He was whistled for pass interference, which negated an interception, but it was a bogus call because he had good coverage on the play.

Mayock called Prater a "third- or a fourth-round guy who can play nickel and play phenomenally on special teams." Mayock also liked his feet (Rex Ryan feels the same way), but was worried about his long speed.



Micanor Regis, DT, Miami
Micanor Regis isn't ranked highly in most places, but Mayock was impressed with him.

"He will be a rotational player next year; could be a mid-round pick," Mayock said. "He flashes, but needs to be more consistent."

Kyle Wilber, OLB, Wake Forest
Kyle Wilber had a really nice performance as a pass-rusher, as he caused some havoc in the pocket.

"I don't think Wilber is big enough or sound enough to be a starter yet, but he's going to get some third-down work in the league next year," Mayock said. "Could he be a third- or a fourth-round pick? Absolutely."

Brandon Brooks, G, Miami of Ohio
Brandon Brooks was discussed as a possible third- or fourth-round guard.

More Homework:
Mayock had these impressive players on a "more homework" list; because they flashed this week, he noted that he wants to do more film study on them:

  • Josh Norman, CB, Coast Carolina
  • Derek Dennis, G, Temple
  • Chase Ford, TE, Miami
  • Josh Kaddu, DEOLB, Oregon
  • Kentrell Lockett, DEOLB, Ole Miss
  • Kyle Wilber, DEOLB, Wake Forest

    You can find NFL picks from different ebwsites. Some sports experts, fans, and aficionados post their top picks in several ebwsites. There are also some ebwsites that post picks chosen by a computer system. Some people prefer those picks chosen by people while others prefer computer-picked teams. The benefit of using NFL picks chosen by fans and experts is that you can be sure that their decisions are based on their knowledge and experience. The disadvantage is that there might be favoritism involved. On the other hand, computer-generated picks are based on numerical data and stats.I get this information from this website .refer to the sourceenjoy it!!!

    Nick Sukay is a great pro prospect, and should be looked at early in the 2012 draft.

    Rofl, I didn't know I clicked on NFL.com to read Mike Mayock's take on the East-West Shrine game. You suck at scouting football players, but hey, it looks like you've got a future in transcribing for REAL NFL talent evaulators!

    Excellent coverage guys. Draft nerds like me live for this stuff!

    One question....Is there no one the Steelers talked to? I know they are pretty private organization. I was thinking they might be looking at 3-4 nose out of Baylor.

    Thanks again.

    Wylie isn't undersized. He's the same weight as Antonio Brown and 1" shorter. And Brown plays outside, too, not strictly slot.

    Dan Persa is like another Jeff Garcia. My guess is Allen was looking more at the o-line and Hurney was looking at d-line.

    Wylie is extremely undersized. How many 5-9 sub 190 wide outs are there in the NFL?

    Desmond Wynn (Rutgers) did not play at Temple (as reported earlier), Derek Dennis did.

    Nice overall coverage though!

    Thank you for the Canadian content. No other media covered them, but I find it interesting to see them against some of the not quite elite US competition.
    Well written.
