Ok, I watched the Sr. Bowl and would like to make a few observations. First, the Senior Bowl & the NFL Network are in cahoots in terms of Public Relations. I get that. It makes sense that this Game is important to both the NFL Network and the coverage is great for the 'Entity' that is Mobile Alabama and the group who runs the Senior Bowl. So, in order to have the most interest in this game, it is beneficial if highly rated players participate in the game. So, in my honest opinion, the broadcast took every opportunity to make it be known that Von Miller was playing in this game and we are all so happy he showed up and played. He was featured, highlighted, and mentioned whenever possible. My thought was that type of exposure and kudos might be the type of 'incentive' for next year's top draft prospects benefit. Make them more inclined to accept an invitation.

I am not going to say that Von Miller is a horrible player, but he did not perform as well as it was made out to be. He almost made a tackle for a loss on a screeen play, but totally missed the tackle. He tracked down a tall QB for a 'sack' by grabbing his shoelace. For the most part, I thought Brooks Reed & Colin McCarthy had better games, but since they are not projected as 1st round talent.....they didn't get nearly the amount of 'air time' as Von Miller. I found it interesting each time it was mentioned how well he had practiced during the week, but I thought he missed a practice due to a 'tweek' or 'slight' injury.

Cameron Jordan impressed me during the week at practice, but disappeared during the game. CB Kendric Burney showed me that he plays better than he'll measure....I call that instincts. If I wanted an OLB, I think I might just wait for Brooks Reed or Sam Acho instead of taking Von Miller at #11.
