Video of Dontay Moch, super quick off the snap.
So I saw the tweet from Todd Mcshay earlier and I went and looked at some of his highlights on youtube. I only watched games against teams with pretty good offensive lines. I picked the game against Missouri. There line was decent and Blaine Gabbert is a good QB. Take a look, this guy is crazy fast. Its more impressive to see this kind of speed during play.
Combine Sleeper
Dontay Moch just ran the 40 in the low 4.4-second range. Stupid fast. College defensive end but headed to outside LB at 6-2, 248.

Todd Mcshay tweeted this from Indy. Speed means a lot for a 3-4 OLB. Maybe the only necessary requirement, the muscle and moves come over time in the weight room and on the field. Perfect example would be Demarcus Water of the Cowboys. Was just known for edge speed and now is the best pass rusher in football argueably. He is known for his off-season studying of tape. He watches the moves of the top players in the league and practices each.

The New Look League. . .
With the NBA trade deadline here and gone and a lot of blockbuster deals done I have to get into it on my blog. One of my first blogs written on here wash about the gradual shift of power from the East to the West. Now with Carmelo and others switching coasts things are happening now.
With the acquisition of Melo the Knicks definanately got better. Not quite a title contender but better. Chauncey Billups is still an effective player and will be the remainder of this season but he's a free agent after the season. For at least two seasons the Knicks were looking for the point guard able to push pass and shoot. Like Steve Nash did in the system in Phoenix. Raymond Felton was that guy and I believe Mike D'antoni knew that and didn't want to deal him. But the front office did whatever they had to do to get Melo "home." Crazy they would trade all that for a player like Melo. He's great at scoring but horrible on defense. And he's always been a volume shooter which could be good without a dominant big in the middle. Which is who the lakers traded shaq when they had the chance. Volume shooters do two things. Score and limit touches to the post. Look at the Lakers now. If needed Kobe can shoot as many times as possible and Gasol is effecient enough to score 18 to 20 points on ten or twelve shots. Amare might not like that come Sunday in Miami if Melo is shooting like that.
Now Denver is in a very different situation than some of the teams that made moves at the break. Some might say they are now in a rebuilding mode and if you mean for the rest of the season then I agree. The system there is actually built for the players they got in the deal. Danilo Galinarri is a great young wing with a skilll set that will allow him to flourish in Denver. And just like in New York they push the ball and score a lot on fastbreaks. Its really a matter of him buying into the system. Raymond Felton can start or spell Ty Lawson they both can push and pass well and I think at least George Karl knows what he's got. We'll see if they make a late season push and stay in the playoff hunt they'll be dangerous.
Not to be upstaged by big brother the New Jersey Nets sent rookie Derrick Favors and Devin Harris to Utah for Derron Williams. Williams is argueably the best point guard in basketball and for a team playing under par this season it should be a good move. The Nets are moving in a year to Brooklyn and having a player like Williams will lure more talent if he signs the extension after this season.
Boston moved a slew of players to acquire Jeff Green from Oklahoma City. They did have to send big Kendrick Perkins in the deal. But by moving Marquis Daniels they made cap space to sign forward Troy Murphy. That would be a huge move.

Tourney Time. . . . . .
Its now a done deal in the NFL until the draft at least and maybe longer if the owners and players can't come to some kind of agreement soon. Luckily to fans of the greatest and I think the most wide open and fair playoff in any sport. March Madness people. 60 plus teams going at it for one championship.
True its a bit early but I find a prediction isn't really a prediction unless you say it sometime before it happens. I'm giving my inside look at the four number one seeds in this years tournament.
First off, Ohio State just lost to a extremely talented Wisonsin team today. But nevertheless they will most likely win out and get themselves a number one. They are deep athletic and at times look unbeatable.
Next is my favorite team and I'm not taking them because of that. Duke is a team powered by veterans like Kyle Singler and Nolan Smith but have a lot of youth. Seth Curry and Andre Dawkins are great. And even though they did lose a huge piece in seven footer Greg Zubek the whole has been nicely filled by the very athletic frontline. With the Plumlee's and Ryan Kelly. The should make some noise in the tourney.
Texas as of today is ranked lower than Kansas but that won't be the case as the season finishes. The Longhorns play great defense and that wins you games at all levels. They are also extremely good on the other side. Jordan Hamilton is a great player. They are first in the Big 12 and assuming they finish there it should earn them the number one.
With eleven current teams as I write having 15 wins or more you can be sure the Big East will have a handful of teams in the tournament this year. Four of those teams have 20 wins. And Pitt is the best of those four. Great back court play with Wanamaker and Gibbs is something that's irreplaceable during the tournament. The least amount of mistakes always gives you a better chance of winnng. And they have that. They should make some more noise during the season. Pitt is known for closing out seasons. Anyone remember hearing about Dwaune Blair about this time two years ago? Of course those of us that watch college ball do. And even then most of us write that team off as inexperienced.
Now we'll see how it all shapes up. As usual I'm hoping my picks are right.

Here it is. . .
In football its easy to say who is and isn't valuable. And at the same time players are overlooked because what they did during the season was a great book of works but wasn't flashy. And in some instances because the league has a point they area trying to prove.
There is no tripple double in football. But filling the stat sheets is equally hard in any sport. Only one player in the league had 100 tackles double digit sacks and more than 5 forced fumbles this season. He is also playing in the super bowl Sunday. James Harrison.
Now who would have thought that. Not only was he the only one he wash far ahead of all competition. Its sad that no one even knows this stuff about him. Last time he was in the super bowl he made the biggest play of the game. With Troy on the field.
He was also fined 250,000 dollars by the league for what they called illegal hits. Sad a player with stats we haven't seen since Kevin Green did the same thing. The league is simply trying to not award what they say are bad habits.
Go chech his stats and honestly tell me he didn't deserve it.
