KRIEGER: More character, not characters required

The NFL began its week of annual leave religious in Indianapolis on Wednesday. Not in the Super Bowl this week. That week of its annual orgy of excess capacity. The religious festival is the Feast of Weights and Measures, also known as the combine prospecting.

It has a certain quality theological, because it allows men to believe they can judgements objectives of a player the chance of success. This is absurd, but the certainty of figures is a variation, especially in football, where a multitude of positions not lend themselves to statistics. Thus, the importance of these dimensions and weight, about 400 wretches in the chronicle of hand this year.

The trend towards more weight on the figures - the accounts of a number of Broncos’ failed project takes place during this decade - despite the objections of two-time NFL Executive of the year, Scott Pioli, the Patriots’ Vice President of Player Personnel. You may recall that during the week of Super Bowl, “said Pioli overreliance on numbers is the greatest human error staff.

The reason is fairly obvious. It is much harder to measure instincts, work ethic, selflessness, responsibility, accountability and reliability of a tape measure or timing.

These trains and other intangible assets - consider the Patriots, it is important that they do not allow their scouts call on intangible assets - often aggregated under the heading “sign”. This is not a word you hear much in the mouths Broncos officials in recent days. May have something to do with the team of recent fighting.

In fairness, very few people talk about character in football. It was also a lot of incidents off zone, a tacit consensus seems to be: Football is a sport that violent attacks from time to time. You go a little weak characters.

Mike Shanahan has been placed on his chances uneven character for a certain time. Indeed, enough of these risks have erupted in his face, it is difficult for all players to break in the first three places in the hit parade its wrong: Dale Carter, Daryl Gardener and Maurice Clarett.

But if you hear the vague about the qualities of players missing in the locker room in the last year about a lack of commitment, begin to wonder if Shanahan’s sporting talents gambles on its characters are sabotaged staff.

Take Todd Sure Brun. Sure Brown has a leg and a large roster of personal questions. This is not a secret. If the sign Shanahan, he signed a punter heavy baggage. Normally, a punter has not been away with all the baggage, but Brown Sauer had the leg.

You can measure how far the ball traveled. Shanahan wanted his leg, and he did little to take care of the rest.

Sure therefore drank Brown will on a cabbie and a policeman, embarrassed himself, embarrassed the Broncos and Shanahan forces to replace the replacement if it is difficult to find.

Take Travis Henry. Shanahan was aware, Henry has had child support issues. He claims he did not know to what extent. It turned out that nine children of nine women, who came from Georgia, a child in the care of judicial proceedings. Henry has never expressed any regret. He complains too much, an agreement was out of it. I was surprised, just as it was ok.

In healthy subjects, Henry is a talented running. He attends Shanahan. I do not know how he would have been difficult to mount the records of the Georgia Court mounted, but I do not feel that the Broncos tried very hard.

If irresponsibility in a personal life to correlate irresponsibility in a group, a team colleagues? I guess that may be different depending on the case, but as part of an employee of the risk assessment, I think this is not a characteristic you are looking for.

Take Javon Walker, while his only crime seems to be self-absorption. There was a time when the first Shanahan’s tenure as chief coach when he was cleared of high maintenance, self-Wide receiver maintenance and a replacement. Couple guy named Rod Smith and Ed McCaffrey. You never wowed anyone with a prospecting combine, but it develops OK.

At the press conference last month, when the Dolphins introduced their new coach Tony Sparano, he said he wants players with “character” five times. He try to remember the last time made a point of the Shanahan as a factor in the selection of reader. I could not.
