I think he was very diplomatic as well as honest in his interview.Cord isn't a fan of the offense FWIW.

Neither is Mississippi State!Cord isn't a fan of the offense FWIW.
IIRC his remarks were along the lines of guys who play for GT just have to remember what they used to play and get back to those skill sets. Now I may have heard wrong or misunderstood his words but if we run a "high school" offense then does that mean that Pro-style is run in the pee-wee league?I think he was very diplomatic as well as honest in his interview.
First it's our skill guys (WRs and RBs) that can't make the transition to the NFL because of our system. Now the OL can't make the transition? We must be winning through smoke and mirrors only...certainly isn't through skill or athleticism apparently. Smh
The people that run the NFL....are they really so stupid?
Edit....well we run a pro style defense.....that's how we have been winning...of course. Silly me.
The funny thing is, the current most popular college offenses (think the HUNH read option spread offenses) don't translate at all to the NFL game either, but because it's "cool" and "cutting edge" people don't really bring it up about them. Why is it a negative for us but not, for example, Clemson?I have no problem with the assertion that our offensive system does not translate to the NFL as currently designed (with the exception of WRs, actually. I truly believe NFL teams LOVE to have WRs that can block).
What I don't understand is why the NFL refuses to adapt to the kind of offensive players that are coming in to the league. It's why you have 6-7 good teams and everybody else is constantly looking for the next Peyton Manning. And he ain't comin!
Your point is well made when one reads the curve Mariota(?) is going through to take the snap under center, and then the 3, 5 and 7 step drops. If one watches the MSU line for example, it at times is just a moving mass of big guys that, should they link arms, would be the old flying wedge.The funny thing is, the current most popular college offenses (think the HUNH read option spread offenses) don't translate at all to the NFL game either, but because it's "cool" and "cutting edge" people don't really bring it up about them.

I could see him getting picked up by NE late or by free agent route.Laskey had a great day. I am not surprised.

I believe you misunderstood my postI believe Demaryius Thomas, as a "skill position" player, transitioned into the NFL quite well, thank you very much. Also Cone and Hill have made NFL rosters as Wide Receivers. Finally, Gil Brandt just said Darren Waller will be a steal in the draft, and he also expects DeAndre Smelter to play on Sundays.
You wonder if and how much Waller's personal difficulties -- team suspensions -- will affect his draft status. As for Hill, he will remain probably forever a mystery to those who got to see some eye popping catches and equally astounding drops; to leave school early against the advice of almost everybody, and put on a great combine performance that surprised the same people, even his biggest fans, then have a great first NFL game with two TD catches, and then drop like a stone when the drops inexplicably returned. We will never know the answer to "Why?"I believe Demaryius Thomas, as a "skill position" player, transitioned into the NFL quite well, thank you very much.

He has also been arrested
There is no need to link to that site.
I agree. If they don't do their due diligence they should be fired. Guarantee you by now if the FSU QB got a parking ticket when he was 12, they know. Sometimes it makes no difference, but they know.Why? I think this is relevant as to what Pro Scouts will easily find via Google and ask him In his interviews.
