going with the west, liking their skill players QB, RB and WR better
going with the west, liking their skill players QB, RB and WR better
Persa, Harnish, and Hansen. GO WEST!
Good Luck.
Remember,this is a game for players to display their pro-style talents for NFL scouts Persa and Harnish are both pure spread QBs that are going to have to totally adjust their style with only one week of practice.I expect Persa to do very little in this game (is he even 100% healthy?),and I don't know if Harnish has ever even taken a snap from center during his entire career.Hansen on the other hand has played in a pro style offense since high school but from what I've seen of him he was definitely the last of the six QBs invited to play in this game.
The East has the best NFL ready QB by far in B.J.Coleman.He has the size,arm,and skills to play on sundays and is the only one of these QBs that is guaranteed to be drafted at all.John Brantley is comfortable in the pocket as well but I don't know if he has the arm to make some of the deeper throws against NFL talent.Austin Davis' skills pretty much mirror Harnish's for this game.I often wonder how many more games the Vols would have won during the last three years if B.J.didn't transfer when Cutcliffe left Knoxville to take the Duke job.
As far as RBs are concerned the East also has the best pro prospect in Tauren Poole who has apparently had an unbelievable week of practice (he finally had a decent o-line to run behind).I would say that Meggett (E) and Rainey (W) are clones of each other and Tyler (W) and Creer (W) are both far better than Morris (E).How did a 5-10 slow guy get invited to this game?
The West has the speed at WR with Wright,,and Wylie but the East has the better possession type receivers in Cunningham,Lewis,and Tim Benford (who I have never heard of),but apparently he has run perfect routes this week and has yet to drop a pass.
QB - Edge to East
RB - Even
WR - Slight edge to West

After reading more practice reports from different sources,it seems that the two most impressive defensive players this past week have both been from the East squad in CB-Josh Norman (Coastal Carolina) and DT-Tavian Robertson (South Carolina).
So I'm placing a small wager on the East +1 1/2.
In a perfect world Harnish and/or Persa will not be comfortable with the five or seven step drop,they will feel pressure from Robertson,panic,and throw a pick 6 to Norman.
Good Lck Everyone!

Wow I just found the most detailed day by day practice report and summary that I could ever imagine.Here are some updated notes.The list is NOT mine but the comments beside the school are.
Here is my list of players who look like they just don't have the talent to compete with most of the guys down here, let alone the NFL talent level:
1) S NICK SUKAY, PENN STATE (E) will probably see time at LB instead of S
2) WR KEVIN HARDY, CITADEL (E) pure speed only,was already looking at not much PT.
3) CB CHARLES BROWN, UNC (E) He has a ton of talented players in front of him
4) RB ALFRED MORRIS, FLORIDA ATLANTIC (E) just as I expected
5) QB TYLER HANSEN, COLORADO (W) just as I expected
6) DE ARNAUD NADON, LAVAL (W)
7) C MOE PETRUS, UCONN (W)
8) OG BEN HEENAN, SASKATCHEWAN (W)
9) OG JOSH LERIBEUS, SMU (W) seems to be alot of OL that can't play on the West squad
10) DE JUSTIN FRANCIS, RUTGERS (W) second DE from the West to make this list
11) WR JUNIOR HEMINGWAY, MICHIGAN (W) a bit of a surprise to me
12) SS DUKE IHENACHO, SAN JOSE STATE (W)
More to come....

There is the typical post in these types games. It never fails. You're cracking my shell, bro....what the hell are you doing in this forum if this is the only game going today?

After everything that I've read the under is looking like a sure thing.
ALL 6 QBs have been unimpressive.The following is just cut and paste stuff;
WEST- We'll see what tomorrow brings but it sure looks to me like this squad will be severely challenged to move the ball and score in the game Saturday. None of the 3 QBs has shown any consistency in finding open receivers downfield and making accurate throws time after time. Maybe someone will emerge, but I'm just not sure I see any of them having a major impact on the game unless Northwestern’s Dan Persa can scramble and loosen things up. It also appears to me that Northern Illinois QB Chandler Harnish may be suffering some after effects of the ankle injury he suffered in the team’s bowl game earlier this month.
EAST - If the East offense scores this weekend it probably won't be because of a long sustained drive led by one of their 3 QBs. None of the three has been consistent in any phase of their game. The best overall looking guy has been Chattanooga’s B.J. Coleman, but his reading of the field and his throwing accuracy range from mediocre to bad. He looks so far like the kind of guy who would need a shotgun to go bird hunting. Meanwhile, Florida QB John Brantley just continues to struggle with ball control, footwork and his throwing in general, while Southern Mississippi‘s Austin Davis may ultimately be the most effective for this game because he's more mobile, and can move the pocket at least a bit, but his arm and decision-making under pressure is only mediocre.
Without a doubt the most entertaining coach to watch during he practice week was West offensive line coach Mark Mangino. He's vocal, animated, demanding and really tries to teach his charges every single day. Even though we laugh at his physique I sure wish he could find a way to get his weight under control and live longer than he's likely to now. Good luck Mark.
West head coach Brad Childress got an unpleasant surprise this afternoon when the skies opened up 5 minutes into warm-ups for his West squad and the rain continued pretty much through the rest of the practice. It wasn't exactly a deluge, but for this time of year in Florida, that is our dry season, it was a lengthy field soaking rain and complicated the team‘s workout which ultimately was cut short by about 20 minutes.
The West WR corps has not been very impressive to date. Based on the scrimmage portion of the session it appears the West offense will revolve around dink and dunk passes both inside and out. In fact I felt like the TEs were actually running some deeper routes than the WRs through much of this practice.
Under the category coming out of nowhere to getting some serious attention from pro scouts add the name TE Chase Ford of Miami.

I stated earlier that Taure Poole had the best week of practice among the RBs but several sites like Marc Tyler as much or more.
Every source that I have seen has Coastal Carolina CB Josh Norman as the most impressive player and most have fellow East DBs Micah Pellerin,Christian Thompson,and Justin Bethel all in their top performers list.
But the biggest star of all these small school DBs has been Coastal Carolina CB Josn Norman, whot everyone's attention on Monday morning during the weigh-in when he showed a solid, athletic body that measured in at 6-0, 203. And Norman has been handling receivers in every drill at practice. Plus, he has that air of quiet confidence that has been noticeable every day. He doesn't brag, he doesn't strut, but he radiates an attitude that says don't mess with me. Indeed, NFL.com guru Mike Mayock, who is in St.Petersburg this week, not Jacksonville, is already in high praise of him in a video breakdown. This young man has a chance to become a second day pick if this keeps up and he impresses at the combine.
One final note, we've had so many games decided by the kicking game this year that it would be foolish not to look at the Ks. The East will have the #1 rated K prospect in the 2012 NFL draft in Blair Walsh. The West K is not in any top 10 list that I saw.
