CB from Auburn
8 picks and 21 PBUs in his career
Graduated from Michigan and transferred to Auburn for his final year
no volume here but ESPN just did a lot on him....what did they say
imo if he had better size he'd be a good safety prospect
ESPN said he was the steal of the draft.
McShay was shocked that he lasted as long as he did.
And Linda Cohn said she got moist at the thought of him.
I'm on NFLN - ESPN lost me with their commercials and lousy production
NFLN hasn't mentioned it yet. Working through the recent picks now
He's got CB inside and outside experience along with some safety and is a good STs guy
sucks for you cause I was floored at how long they stayed on him...it was a good two minute highlite package
never leave the world wide leader
And by the way... McShay & Wingo are terrific. Not sure why Jay is shteinting on them. Stupid Texan.
it's cool on Twitter to hate ESPN
I'm not shteinting on them. I wanted to watch ESPN
But yesterday they were missing picks. Second rounders! For commercials.
Today was a commercial fest too. NFLN has been more substance
ESPN is a billion times better but Twitter flipped out yesterday cause of some sort of a missed pick
stay with the Goodell network tho and miss eagle breakdowns
Well Twitter was right to flip
It wasn't one missed pick either
Philadelphia Eagles: Blake Countess, CB, Auburn B Grade
The Eagles had a number of positions to address, but couldn't really address much because of their lack of picks. Ideally, they would've found help for the secondary earlier, but they just couldn't do so. Blake Countess fits the range here in the middle of the sixth round. He's a sound tackler and could one day end up starting in the slot.
If a guy is selected in the sixth round yet is judged to be a potential future starter how can you rate that pick anything less than an A+?
You expect 1st, 2nd & even 3rd round picks to be legit starters but after those guys it's a total roll of the dice.
What the hell kind of name is that, Blake Countess.
surely you mean field hockey
yeah I wasn't sure
He's back
QuoteThe Los Angeles Rams released S Blake Countess yesterday due to not being able to agree to new terms on a pay cut, and the Philadelphia Eagles have claimed the former Ram, per NFL Network's Ian Rapaport:
QuoteCountess became expendable when the Rams drafted two safeties this past weekend in the second round in Taylor Rapp, and seventh round in Nick Scott. Both guys have the ability to play a vital role on special teams, and that's where majority of Countess' contribution stemmed from.
In 2018, Countess started one game at safety for the Rams, though he ultimately suffered an injury (concussion protocol) and was pulled rather quickly. On 58 defensive snaps and 356 special teams snaps, Countess produced nine total tackles, one interception, and two pass deflections.
Countess brings the ability to play at either safety spot or even the nickel cornerback position in a pinch. Ironically enough, he was actually drafted by the Eagles in 2016
Rams board, majority says good riddance.
he has a very good shot to make it over san-day-yo because he will not cost them a comp pick
He's gone again - injury settlement
