Florida (March 18)
Forty NFL scouts from about 15 teams were on hand. While that's half as many as were here last year, there were still some heavy hitters, including Panthers head coach John Fox, Giants GM Jerry Reese, Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, Buccaneers defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin and Carolina defensive coordinator Mike Trgovac. Nine Florida players, plus two from smaller area schools, worked out on the grass field in the stadium.
» DE Derrick Harvey (6-4 ½, 269): Stuck with all the numbers from his combine drills, but ran position drills here and reportedly had an unbelievable workout.
» WR Andre Caldwell (6-0 ¼, 205): Had a 36 ½-inch vertical jump, 18 reps in the bench press, ran position drills and kept everything else from the combine.

Hey guys, not sure where else to post... anyone have a good Gator Screen saver? The ones from Gatorzone just aren't working for me. I have two monitors and those only seem to cover one. :shakeno:
LEADERS EMERGING: One reason for UF's struggles last season was the lack of leadership. Now, outside of sophomore quarterback Tim Tebow, Meyer said he's got a few more guys stepping up, especially sophomore linebacker Brandon Spikes.
“Brandon Spikes has been terrific. Brandon Spikes has done everything — and I say everything with an exclamation point, underlined twice — that we've asked of him in the offseason,†Meyer said.
Junior receiver Louis Murphy stepped up more into the leadership role after the bowl game, and Meyer also expects redshirt senior offensive lineman Phil Trautwein to be one of the go to guys once he returns from his ankle injury.

Sorry bro, can't help you.

Awesome news. IMO, let downs like we had last year are often due to poor or too little leadership among the players. The defense melted down sometimes, and I just don't think Joiner could sniff Siler's jock in terms of leadership.

OK did anyone else wanna puke watching Urban Meyer sitting next to Bill Bellicheck last night.?
Mon Williams are both Healthy and ready to go Motion. That's why there was no mention of him.
Also some in Gainesville believe that Mon Williams will be out Moody for the Starting rb job if he can stay healthy.

That was a bit ironic.
I know he's healthy now but he's still coming off a major injury. I have heard rumors of him challenging Moody. I've also heard your boy Rainey has bulked up alittle bit as well.
