Senior Bowl Week Starts

by Joel Thorman on Jan 23, 2012 2:04 PM CST

The 2012 Senior Bowl week is starting today with the official weigh-ins. You can see weigh-in results for the South team and the North team.

The East-West Shrine game (last weekend) and the Senior Bowl (next weekend) are two of the big postseason all-star games that give NFL teams a chance to see the prospects for the 2012 NFL draft up close. Here's a Senior Bowl primer entering the week.

The weigh-ins are always interesting (like this Terrence Cody picture) as it gives teams to see the true height and weight of players. Sometimes colleges will make their quarterbacks a couple inches taller or another player a few pounds heavier. NFL teams will get all the legit measurements now.

And for the Chiefs the Senior Bowl serves another purpose -- the job fair. Many out-of-work coaches go down to the Senior Bowl trying to catch on with a team and perhaps the Chiefs will find one (or two) coordinator down there.

That's one big boy

but from the picture he doesn’t look like a blob of crap. He doesn’t even look as fat as Vince Wilfork.

TYLER PALKO mention

Mayock mentioned Palko when talking about Kellen Moore’s arm strength saying that Moore has better arm strength than Palko. That doesn’t say much but thought I’d let everyone know

So his arm is as strong as an uncooked noodle?

No...

Stronger than an uncooked noodle more like as strong as a toddler

Don't you mean wet noodle?

In this scenario I believe Palko has the wet noodle

and Moore has the umcooked noodle, meaning slightly stronger but still a noodle.

Do we go fetal and beg for mercy? Or do we pick up that broken piece of pipe laying on the ground and come up swinging? I choose pipe.
