[ZHerd]

Kinda fun getting to see Crockett, Pruitt and Zenner play on the same offense. Actually, with Williams and KE the west roster looks a bit like an MVC pro bowl squad. I want to watch this game

[Bisonator98]

Good luck to Crockett and Emanuel. Hope both those guys impress!

[THEsocalledfan]

Good luck to Crockett and Emanuel. Hope both those guys impress!

I will also be cheering for Zenner; solid young man from everything I've heard.

[SDbison]

I will also be cheering for Zenner; solid young man from everything I've heard. That's OK........we all know you have become an SDSU fan too.

[THEsocalledfan]

That's OK........we all know you have become an SDSU fan too.

More that he can no longer hurt NDSU; no reason not to cheer for him.

[MAKBison]

I find myself pulling for all the FCS guys

Me too, it's good for FCS for guys to land in the pros. I also think it is neat that the West team is all the MVC guys. I hope team West dishes out a beat down

[SDbison]

More that he can no longer hurt NDSU; no reason not to cheer for him. Just want to keep reminding everyone about your bunny love.

[THEsocalledfan]

Just want to keep reminding everyone about your bunny love.

LOL perhaps that is true. (For the record, I am a bit amazed by what they've done since moving to D1 with nowhere near NDSU resources.) With that said, I am pretty intrigued to see him against top level talent. I never thought he had a chance in the pros, but I started changing my mind this year. I think he may have the very "slippery" 3rd down type of back ability. Guys usually don't get really solid shots at him; that is something you can't teach. If he could become a good pass blocker, just maybe he can make it.

[Wally]

At least Zenner can't lose to another team with NDSU players on it. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em:)

[MN_Moose]

A big NDSU fan Ryan Slick L will be on the sidelines. And the CEO of Shrine International is from up the road / down river.

[HoopsBison]

Saw some positive comments on Twitter from scouts regarding both Kyle and John, keep it up boys!

[tjbison]

Couple guys said Crockett is very vocal leader and performed the best on the west of the RB ' S

I'm thinking playing a game Saturday might help him

Comments about JC.


13. Jonathan Crockett, RB, North Dakota State

A respected small school runner at one of the country’s best FCS schools, Crocket has carried the load for the Bison the past two seasons. Able to gain speed quickly initially, Crockett is a fluid athlete in space and adjusts against tacklers to elude defenders at the second level. He keeps his hips tight through an initial hole, but does play a bit sporadic laterally when the initial hole isn’t apparent, and could stand to be more patient as he works on the edge more.

[SanDakotaState]

Justin Higdon ‏@afc2nfc
John Crockett is the length of the field away from him and I heard him yelling "FCS in the house" and "FCS baby" cheering on Zach Zenner

[citdog]

Ozamataz Buckshank from Stanford is a standout.

Quatro Quatro looks good. Sounds like a good Bison player.

So the best defensive player in the FCS wasn't good enough for an invite to the Senior Bowl? I wouldn't be surprised if he's an alternate. But come on.

Wow the field conditions look like crap.. hope nobody gets hurt down there.

More on Crockett.

5. North Dakota State RB John Crockett likes to talk. Crockett (6-0, 215) helped North Dakota State win its fourth consecutive FCS championship Saturday afternoon in Frisco, Texas, a Dallas suburb. He flew to Tampa after the game, arriving at around 3 a.m. Sunday, he said. But he certainly didn't appear tired during Monday's afternoon practice, when he could be heard chattering good-naturedly after -- and sometimes during -- plays. He said other players told him they enjoyed his talkative ways, and he admitted that he had some fun talking with (and about) players from big-name schools. "It's fun to bang around and run around with them big boys," said Crockett, who vowed to continue his garrulous ways all week. Besides being talkative, Crockett is talented. He ran for 1,974 yards and 21 TDs this season, and finished his career with 4,309 rushing yards. Crockett also is a solid receiver and looks to be a third-day selection.

Running Backs
-West tailbacks had a very good day of practice Tuesday. The day was led by John Crockett of North Dakota State who continued to flash a combination of build, physicality and speed. He may be faster than some people believe. His enthusiasm was also a source of entertainment.

-At various points of Monday’s practice, South Dakota State tailback Zach Zenner did not look as if he belonged. He successfully flipped the script on Tuesday. Zenner maintained his quiet, serious demeanor, but coaches had to appreciate the consistency of his receiving and running work, as well as his competitiveness. He did his job, and even showed some interesting athleticism. Crockett’s competitiveness (and constant yammering) may have rubbed off on Zenner. On one particular run, after a little bit of contact, instead of pulling up and going back to the huddle Zenner decided to challenge Stanford safety Jordan Richards to a speed duel. Richards looked as if he were expecting Zenner to pull up, and when he realized Zenner had no intention of doing so until he had run 80 yards to the end zone he also reached down and tried to flash his speed. The FCS player won the speed duel, and John Crockett (beaming with FCS pride) let everyone on the field know it.

Are any of these workouts or practices televised on the NFL network?

[Bison 4 Life]

Weirdest thing I learned today - there's another Taiwan Jones out there.

[tolnabison]

A combine invite would go a long ways for Johnny to get drafted. I just don't see him getting one. David Johnson and Zack Zenner will probably be the only FCS running backs to get one. I doubt they will offer three FCS running backs.

Is Zenner serious about going pro? I thought he was accepted to med school and planned on going.

"I'm not sure fans have ever asked me about a specific prospect as much as North Dakota State running back John Crockett. Dude is fast. We're talking gears on top of gears. Numerous NFL teams would surround him after every practice, and he's almost assured of a spot on a roster in a few months. He's a bit of a straight-up-and-down runner, but he's got enough lateral athleticism to make guys miss even if he's providing a bigger target."

Makes you wonder if we used him correctly by running him up the middle so much with our blocking/running scheme.

CC did a nice job of being patient then bouncing outside for big gains. I kind of wish we had a 3rd scat back like Sigers for our arsenal. Wouldn't that be deadly in our 3 back set?

[ZHerd]

This guy has some interesting day 3 notes. No mention of KE good or bad. Sounds like Crockett and Zenner have become buds out there.

[ndsubison1]

Malcolm Brown, RB, Texas--he got upstaged by the FCS running backs in the pass protection and receiving drills. Seems like a one-speed guy, which is a tough NFL sell--think Donald Brown without the passing game ability.

[Bisonator98]

Lots of teams talking to Crockett. He should nail the interviews. Who wouldn't want a guy like that in the locker room!

So your saying those 3 losses could have been avoided! If anything the way Crockett was used his first 3 years should have saved his body for a NFL career. Not saying Beck, Dudzik, or Heagle aren't good enough they just sacrificed their bodies for the sake of Bison football.

He has plenty of time to go back to med school...the med school will hold his spot for him.

It seems like most NFL teams have at least one player on their roster from the FCS or DII and I always hope they do well -- just not too well if they are playing the Vikings.

But the story changes once the ball is snapped as the Buck Buchanan Award winner defeated many of his challengers today. Emanuel combines quickness and intensity to get the job done. His first step off the ball is a tough one to stop and Emanuel plays through the whistle, even when it seems opponents have beat him."

Thanks for finding this on KE. JC is taking a lot of the news and rightfully so with what he is showing. It has been tough finding anything on KE and I hope that the NFL sees what type of player he really is, because we got to enjoy a dominant player for the last 4 years.

Absolutely nothing apparently. I'm the only one posting anything on their thread.


Also, holy crap does that turf suck.

Sounds like Brown and Ripkowski from OU are roommates for the game. Lol.

Doesn't help Jim Zorn is the West coach. He's an awesome head coach.

[bisonfanette]

zenner fumbles the pass & drops it...

[SoCalBison]

And QB 2 is just as pathetic. Carson is looking better all the time.

Good job on running out the interception from the back of the endzone. :facepalm:

Way to show the scouts you're not smart enough to kneel down in the end zone after that int.

#13 according to CBS 2016 draft prospects. Joe Haeg #11 OT, Andrew Bonnet #21 FB, Ben Lacompte #30 punter. Did I miss anyone?

Well in their defense I wouldn't expect polished ball after only 3 practices together. Most of these guys haven't played since December also.

[Wally]

Nice job by JC holding on to that handoff. Lineman almost took the damn thing

[tjbison]

JESUS this west team is terrible

[marenlee]

Crockett didn't stand a chance there. He knew it was going to happen also.

[Drblankstare]

It's a miracle Crockett held onto the ball.

[BisonNation11]

West oline is absolutely terrible

[SoCalBison]

Is it just me or do these announcers seem overly attentive to the players' "beautiful bodies"?

Uncomfortable and perhaps creepy?

Kyle looks slow getting off on the snap.

[SDbison]

Watching paint dry is more interesting than this West offense.........seriously!

[SDbison]

Kyle looks slow getting off on the snap. I agree.......last guy to move every play......not good.

[bisonfanette]

Zz on radio... talking about Mission trips... Christian impact of this trip on him... I can see why Crockett & he get along well. He's being very humble on radio.

[Bison03]

The Bison would beat both of these teams.

[No_Skill]

Yeah. Typically sloppy conglomeration game. Luckily the week of practice is just as important to the scouts.

[CalBison97]

Kyle isn't watching the ball being snapped which is what he did in college. He's reacting to the guy in front of him. Wonder if that's some coaching he's received this week.

The west QBs are so bad, they're lowering the draft/free agent prospects for their entire offensive squads.

+1. I was wondering the same thing.

[marenlee]

Surprised it took that long for X Williams to jump offsides. Didn't he have 3/4 of those against NDSU?

[Drblankstare]

Dear god, Heineke looks terribad

[ndsubison1]

I know they didnt practice much together but this is turrible. Not to mention blitzing isnt allowed.

[56BISON73]

Ive seen better execution in play ground ball. :facepalm:

The West team should run the ball on 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th down.

They're probably going to keep airing it out. It's Jim Zorn. And he sucks.

I'm sure they would run it if their line allowed them any time to do so

West with 26 yards of offense..............................dafuque?

[SoCalBison]

Yes, let me reassure those of you without NFL Network: you're not missing the video (or audio)...trust me.

[marenlee]

Great football wisdom from Jim Zorn to his players, "Receivers, go get the ball"

[SoCalBison]

Mayock's choice for a highlight was the little kids playing on the field at half time. And the sad thing is, the kids were really playing better than the west squad.

[bisonfanette]

There saying it's the all time best crowd. How many ppl are there? Nice comments about what the Shriners do etc... and comments about the players with the kids.

[marenlee]

Great playcalling. Running a playaction bootleg when they have run the ball 3 total times.

[IzzyFlexion]

West with 26 yards of offense..............................dafuque?

Oh.......sorry...........23.
4th and 13!!!!!

[SoCalBison]

Lower stands on the far side appear pretty full. Don't think there are many in the end zones or the temp grandstand on the near side. Upper deck appears empty. Maybe 5,000?

[Green1]

Love the West team's halftime adjustments on offense.

KE needs to play his game. Tbe coaches aren't doing anyone any good.

[BisonNation11]

Great penetration by Emanuel and they give him no credit. He caused the back to try and change direction which caused him to slip.

[Green1]

KE will get credit for tackle for loss on the running back.

Why are they even bothering to send the rb out for a pass. Qb never even looks his way.

[Green1]

Did Jim Zorn, a.k.a. "Chuck the Pigskin", ever apply for the head coach position to our favorite school up north? :facepalm:

[SoCalBison]

Nice that when John got his first down, the damn announcers spent more time talking about blocking and barely remembered to mention John.

[SDbison]

KE needs to start watching the hike........o-lineman in front of him is slow as heck and so is KE if he is going on movement.

[CaBisonFan]

Give the ball to JC. Throw the ball to JC. There's your offense. Terrible, terrible quarterback play. Awful pass blocking.

Observations so far: 1) West offensive line and quarterbacks are worse than awful. 2) Crockett and Zenner don't have a chance. 3) Nfl announcers are a bunch of turds. 4) Jim Zorn is an idiot.

[CalBison97]

Finally get a first down while running, and of course get away from Rocket and pass

Maybe they should have asked Harbaugh to coach......I mean, he's gotta be a great coach, right? Hell, at $48,000,000,000,000,000.00 per week he's gotta sumpin special.

Why are they even putting a RB out there period? No running game.

In all fairness, the rules dictate for a passing game. No blitzing. No 3-4. No unbalanced formations. No motion.

With the rotation, zenner should be the next possession and Crockett after that. He could be in on the last drive.

[bisonforever]

They trADE STICKERS.

I noticed the Texas RB has an OU sticker on the back of hishelmet with Black "X" though it. Kind of funny.

West o-line is throwing a lot of look out blocks...you know, as the rusher goes by, the blocker turns to the QB and yells, "Look out!" (Credit to Jerry Kramer)

[SDbison]
