Update 06/24/12

Well surprise, surprise, I'm miles behind schedule. Unfortunately it's one of the sad issues with this blog in that it's something of a hobby and readership has understandably tailed off with the end of the football season, therefore it comes as quite a low priority when things get busy.

I'm toying with the idea of just ignoring the draft from this point on. We're in the third round now and so players from here on in don't tend to get too much playing time anyway, depending on who they are and how badly they're needed.

Instead I might do something that is more interesting to me and that's to break out the diagrams again and focus more on the coaching aspect of football, which is where my heart for football has always layed.

We'll see. Only another three months before football really begins again. Yay...

Update 06/14/12

I'm getting there, slowly but surely. People always say that wins the race, but other than a race between two people on one of those electronic buzzer things where you have to avoid touching the twisted metal thing in the middle, I don't think I've ever known someone to win a race slowly.

Ah well. I am working on the next part of my draft round up. It'll probably be up over the weekend.

2012 NFL Draft: Round 3 - Picks 1-10

(64) 1. Colts select TE Dwayne Allen: I quite like Allen and stand by what I said originally. He’s comfortable both as a run blocker and a receiver. He has good hands, runs some really good, smart routes and is excellent coming straight out of the break and making the catch. Impressive and along with Coby Fleener he makes an excellent tool for supporting new quarterback Andrew Luck in his rookie year.

(65) 2. Rams select CB Trumaine Johnson: Quite why they did is anybody’s guess. He stinks. He’s so weak and afraid to get stuck in it’s embarrassing to watch. He’s fragile and his coverage is generally poor. He just sits off waiting for the quarterback to make a mistake instead of trying to proactively help his team shut receivers down.

Update 05/06/12

So I've had an idea! (Yes, it hurt)

Question; How do you balance the publics need for regular content with your own need to fit the blog in among your regular day etc?

Answer; Split your posts into manageable chunks.

What that means is I'm going to do my round three recap of the draft in chunks, 10-11 players at a time. I've already done the first 10, in fact they've been done for a few days, so I've just got to edit that in a little while and then that'll go up. The the next post will contain 11-21, then the final post for round three will contain 22-32.

Job done, everyone's a winner.
