Buzzmaster: (3:26 PM ET ) Helloooooooo again! We'll be back on Tuesday with more live chats from the Senior Bowl! We'll get started around 1 ET. Talk to you then!
<!-- displayed mode -->
Buzzmaster: (12:18 AM ET ) Scouts, Inc's Todd McShay will kick things off at 1 ET to talk about the first day of practice, who impressed (Tye Hill, Maurice Stovall) and who didn't (Michael Robinson). We'll also have several players stopping by so join us!
<!-- displayed mode -->
Buzzmaster: (10:22 AM ET ) Good morning! Slight change to the schedule. Miami WR Sinorice moss, Notre Dame WR Maurice Stovall and Penn St. QB Michael Robinson will all be rotating in to take your questions starting at about 12:45 ET. We'll have many other players as well. So what do you want to ask?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Buzzmaster: (12:30 PM ET ) Hey everyone, WR Hank Baskett from New Mexico is here!
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
David Minner: Who would you most like to burn for a TD in the game on Saturday?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Hank Baskett: (12:31 PM ET ) Dang! Some of those Penn State boys! I work out with one of their safeties so I'd like to put one on them.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
j.t.: Are you able to have any fun while at the SEnior Bowl or is it all work?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Hank Baskett: (12:32 PM ET ) It's definitely a lot of work but we get to have fun. Just being around all the guys is fun. We have functions scheduled all week so I'm looking forward to that.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Tom (Denver): What NFL teams represent the coaching staff for the Senior Bowl?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Hank Baskett: (12:33 PM ET ) We have the 49ers staff. It's different from college. They have fun but they are all business. They will snap quicker than the college coaches. I was on the same flight as Coach Nolan so I got to talk to him a bit which was nice.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Brad (Albuquerque): Hank..I was so upset this year to not see you used more appropriately, otherwise UNM might've been in a bowl. What NFL team would you dream to play for?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Hank Baskett: (12:35 PM ET ) I felt like I was used very graciously this year. It was an offense built around me but things don't always go as you wanted. I have no regrets other than not going to a bowl. I loved Marcus Allen and Bo Jackson and always loved the Raiders growing up.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Christian (Wayne, NJ): How difficult is it to play with players from other systems and game plans? Is it tough to adjust to playing with new teammates?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Hank Baskett: (12:36 PM ET ) We have to get on the same page. We came here to do our best and to win the game. It's not the same as being with your regular teammates but we are supposed to be the best seniors so we should be able to put it together and win.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Chris (Tampa): Hank, what teams have spent a lot of time talking to you?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Hank Baskett: (12:37 PM ET ) Everyone asks the same thing .. best game, worst game, strengths and weaknesses. I'm supposed to talk to Tampa today. You get snatched up by every team possible while you are here.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Nick (Eugene): How much weight does this game factor into draft decisions by the NFL scouts
<!-- displayed mode -->
Hank Baskett: (12:38 PM ET ) You can either increase your status or stay even or drop. You are going to do one of the three so this week is huge. The scouts see you ever minute of the day except when you are in your hotel room. They watch everything you do.
<!-- displayed mode -->
Buzzmaster: (12:38 PM ET ) What are you trying to improve on or showcase this week?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Hank Baskett: (12:39 PM ET ) I'm trying to work on my release off the press. I want to show that I bring a real physical game and that I will make the tough catches.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Mackenzie (ABQ): What position do hope to play in the NFL? Where do you see your skills being used most appropriately?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Hank Baskett: (12:39 PM ET ) I still see myself being a wide receiver 5, 10 years from now. I see myself having gone to a Pro Bowl or two by then as well.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
keenan myers: Who askes harder questions, us or an nfl team?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Hank Baskett: (12:41 PM ET ) NFL team. By far. They will ask the most random questions you can think of. One team gave me three off the wall words and ask you which one describes you. I've said ''huh'' several times already this week. Or they ask if you if were a certain animal, what would you be like?
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Hack McMurty: Beyonce or JLo?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Hank Baskett: (12:42 PM ET ) Beyonce. Just look at her.
<!-- displayed mode -->
Hank Baskett: (12:42 PM ET ) Actually, Eva Longoria.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Matt (Columbia, SC): Who has the fastist 40 at the senior bowl?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Hank Baskett: (12:42 PM ET ) I run a 4.4. Not sure about everyone else.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Jeremy, Charlotte, NC: How is Brodie Croyle looking down there? I know Bama's offense wasnt good but now that he has some receievers that can catch is he any good ?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Hank Baskett: (12:43 PM ET ) We've connected on a couple passes already. He is getting swamped around here. The whole South team is teasing him about it. You hear ''Brodie Brodie'' everywhere you go.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Tom (Phoenix): You mentioned they asked your weakness...Do you think the speed of the game in the NFL will hinder you?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Hank Baskett: (12:45 PM ET ) My only weakness if getting off against the press but that can be fixed. The speed of the game is the only real difference between college and the NFL. You have Defensive Linemen that can outrun receivers. It's crazy.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Jeremy Charlotte, NC: Of all the QBs, who has looked the best coming from a Wide Receiver?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Hank Baskett: (12:45 PM ET ) All three have been impressive. Their ability to place the ball and knowledge of the game is impressive.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Lo Boston: What players have you seen this week that could help the Steelers if our favorite Jerome retires. Do you think they have what it takes to win the Super Bowl next week?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Hank Baskett: (12:46 PM ET ) I think the Steelers will shock everybody. They have a very solid team but it should be a good game.
<!-- displayed mode -->
Hank Baskett: (12:47 PM ET ) Thanks for the questions! I appreciate it. We'll do this again sometime!
<!-- displayed mode -->
Buzzmaster: (12:48 PM ET ) Thanks, Hank! OK, another WR, Sinorice Moss from Miami, is coming up next ... send your questions now!
<!-- displayed mode -->
Sinorice Moss: (12:49 PM ET ) Hello!
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Anthony, MD: Whats your statline gonna be on Saturday?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Sinorice Moss: (12:50 PM ET ) Who knows. I have no idea. I just try to make plays whenever the ball comes my way.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Pete (St. Pete, Florida): Sinorice, who do you think was the best corner you faced in college?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Sinorice Moss: (12:50 PM ET ) I would say Tye Hill from Clemson. He's here this week.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Michael: Sinorice, have you met with any teams yet? Which ones? What did they ask you?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Sinorice Moss: (12:51 PM ET ) I've met with several already. They have been telling me they are interested and asking about my life and my background. They ask me what I expect to do once I get drafted.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
boston, MA: Which team would you like to play forin the NFL?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Sinorice Moss: (12:52 PM ET ) I grew up loving the Packers and all the great tradition they had. It just caught my eye then and I'm still a Green Bay fan now. I think Favre will be back next year. I hope he is.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Ben (Baton Rouge, LA): Yo Sinorice! Can you be another Steve Smith? How is your game similar to his?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Sinorice Moss: (12:52 PM ET ) I could be Sinorice Moss. I can't be Steve Smith. But I hope to be as good as he is.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Jay (Providence): What kind of pressure do you feel working out in front of all of the scouts at the Senior Bowl?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Sinorice Moss: (12:53 PM ET ) Of course there is pressure to execute in front of all those people. But you just have to concentrate the best you can.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
John, NC: You didn't get much of a chance to return kicks at Miami with those duties going to Hester. Do you see yourself as a return guy in the NFL?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Sinorice Moss: (12:54 PM ET ) I will get a big chance to do it in the NFL. A lot of teams are telling me they see me doing that. I've been practicing a lot and hope to get to do it this week.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Jason (Tallahassee, FL): Sinorice, Who's the best Moss in the pros, Santana or Randy? (Be honest.)
<!-- displayed mode -->
Sinorice Moss: (12:54 PM ET ) Santana. No question!
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Travis, Canada: First thing I'm buying Moms/Pops after the contract is signed is_________?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Sinorice Moss: (12:54 PM ET ) A house.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Mike (Florence, MS): Sinorice, how do you see the Hurricane's playing next season? Thanks!
<!-- displayed mode -->
Sinorice Moss: (12:55 PM ET ) The challenges will be overcoming the loss of some great coaches and so many seniors. But it's a great program. They will never fall flat.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Mike (Florence, MS): Who's your pick in Superbowl XL?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Sinorice Moss: (12:55 PM ET ) Pittsburgh!
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Tony (Charleston,SC): Where would you rate yourself amongst all of the other Wideouts
<!-- displayed mode -->
Sinorice Moss: (12:56 PM ET ) I feel like I am. I hope to prove that this week.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Graham (Raleigh, NC): What do you think you've improved on the most while in college that will help you succeed in the NFL?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Sinorice Moss: (12:57 PM ET ) My ability to make the big catch and snag the ball wherever it was. That is what so many scouts like about me. I really improved on that in college.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Bob, Toledo, OH: Sinorice- have you been able to help out the 'Canes with recruiting this year with all that is going on with you? Will you work out in Coral Gables like so many other 'Canes do in the off-season?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Sinorice Moss: (12:58 PM ET ) I've talked to a lot of local guys in Miami and a lot of them are interested and see the opportunity to be on a great team. I feel like I helped a lot in that area, I hope I did. I'll always be in Coral Gables in the offseason!
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Mike (Florence, MS): Have you had a chance to sample any tasty southern cuisine since being in Mobile?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Sinorice Moss: (12:58 PM ET ) Not really. Haven't had the chance yet but I hope to.
Thanks for the questions! Go Canes!
<!-- displayed mode -->
Buzzmaster: (12:59 PM ET ) Thanks, Sinorice! Geez. he just shook Buzz's hand and almost broke it! That dude's got a grip!
<!-- displayed mode -->
Buzzmaster: (1:02 PM ET ) Next us is .. you guessed it .. another WR! Notre Dame WR Maurice Stovall will be here momentarily .. send your questions!
<!-- displayed mode -->
Buzzmaster: (1:10 PM ET ) So how's everyone doing this fine Tuesday?
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Mike (Florence, MS): Doing great Buzz. How's the weather in Mobile? I'm driving down from Jackson MS to see the Senior Bowl on Saturday.
<!-- displayed mode -->
Buzzmaster: (1:11 PM ET ) Beautiful. It was in the 70s yesterday.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
J.J. (Johnstown): Great Buzz thank you for asking
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
tacoma (wa): super
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Chuck (Dallas, TX): Are you sure it was Sinorice's handshake and not your girly hand?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Buzzmaster: (1:14 PM ET ) That's very possible.
<!-- displayed mode -->
Buzzmaster: (1:15 PM ET ) Anyone have a quick question for Ivan Maisel before he runs out? He's sitting right here.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Patrick, CA: Ivan, What WR has impressed you the msot this week?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Ivan Maisel: (1:17 PM ET ) Travis Wilson from Oklahoma. It's tough to jusge anything right now because QBs and WRs are trying to learn each other and the playbooks. But I've seen Wilson make some great catches and I've seen him finish his pass routes which the North coaches have really been stepping on the receivers about doing.
<!-- displayed mode -->
Ivan Maisel: (1:17 PM ET ) He's an under the radar guy because he has been hurt but he won't be under the radar for long.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Orion (West Coast): Hey Ivan how come you didn't play some ball back in the days?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Ivan Maisel: (1:18 PM ET ) I had a 40 time that nearly cracked double figures.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Patrick, CA: Thanks Ivan. Hve fun this week!
<!-- displayed mode -->
Buzzmaster: (1:19 PM ET ) Still waiting on Mr. Stovall. We're also slated to have Michael Robinson stopping by a little later .. after that we're just going to grab whoever we can find!
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Hende (OH): So let me get this straight, ESPN flies you around to transcribe other people's answers? Quite a gig you got there Buzz.
<!-- displayed mode -->
Buzzmaster: (1:22 PM ET ) Hey, it's not all fun and games. Wait ... yeah it is. Sorry about that. The best part about coming to the Senior Bowl is the food. Seriously. Just around the corner from the hotel here is ''The Little Chicken''. Chowing down now on country fried steak, Macaroni and Cheese and something I don't even have a name for ... it's like a hushpuppy but it has creamed corn on the inside. Anyone know what that's called?
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Kerry (MD): CORN FRITTERS!!!! I love those!
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Dean (Akron, OH): Buzz, that's called disgusting, I think.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Mike (Florence, MS): Buzz, it's just deep-fried cream corn. In the South, we deep-fry anything. I went to a baseball game here in Jackson and ordered deep-fried macaroni & cheeze. Delicious, but an artery clogger.
<!-- displayed mode -->
Ivan Maisel: (1:25 PM ET ) Thanks for stopping by the Food Network .. we're begging Buzz to continue Senior Bowl coverage.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Jeff (Dayton): What's the best place to be sent for ESPN? Do you get Pro Bowl travel?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Buzzmaster: (1:27 PM ET ) Yeah, Pro Bowl is pretty sweet. But not going this year.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Joe (Ca): Get Robinson in here! Penn State wooooooo
<!-- displayed mode -->
Buzzmaster: (1:29 PM ET ) Hold on .. Buzz is going to go investigate real quick.
<!-- displayed mode -->
Buzzmaster: (1:32 PM ET ) Just bumped into Vandy QB Jay Cutler .. say hi to Jay ..
<!-- displayed mode -->
Jay Cutler: (1:33 PM ET ) Hey everyone ..
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Donny-Los Angeles, CA: If Kobe can score 81, can an NFL team do it in the years to come?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Jay Cutler: (1:34 PM ET ) No, an NFL team will not do it. Defenses are way too sophisticated. If anything, scoring will go down.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Rick , NY: Hey Jay, I was just curious. What do you think separates you from your 2 other highly ranked peers, Leinart and Young?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Jay Cutler: (1:34 PM ET ) I think I'm a mixture of both of those guys. Leinart's strengths are as a pocket passer and VY is a runner. I'm a blend of the two.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Brian (CA): Hye Jay, do you think that Kiper's love affair with your game by putting you so high up in the mock draft is justified...are you the real deal?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Jay Cutler: (1:35 PM ET ) Yeah, I'm the real deal. I've done my part throughout my career to put myself in the top QB category.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Matt (Buffalo): How's it going Jay? Just a quick one , being at a school that didn't get the nat'l recognition as a USC or Texas type program, what do you think is the most important thing for you to seperate yourself?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Jay Cutler: (1:36 PM ET ) By coming to the Senior Bowl. It's a great way to put yourself in front of the coaches and let your talent take over.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
mel (jersey city, nj): Who do you have for the Super Bowl?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Jay Cutler: (1:36 PM ET ) Pittsburgh. They are just on a roll. Their defense and running game is better.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Donny-Los Angeles, CA: Jay, One of the mock drafts have you dropping to 18 and playing for the Cowboys, would you like to play for coach Parcells?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Jay Cutler: (1:37 PM ET ) I would love to play for him. He obviously knows how to coach QBs and it's a great town with a great fan base.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
John (Kansas): how fast if your fastball?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Jay Cutler: (1:38 PM ET ) I played shortstop.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Os (NJ): Hey Jay... are you feeling any difference in the game this week working with better WR's? against better defensive players?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Jay Cutler: (1:39 PM ET ) Yeah, it's a big adjustment. Playing at Vandy we didn't have All Americans at every position. Getting used to the timing is tough but that's why we are practicing all week.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Eric, CA: Your thoughts on the whole Reggie v. VY for the top pick? Just wondering if college players feel as split as the media on the issue. I personally think it's Reggie without a doubt
<!-- displayed mode -->
Jay Cutler: (1:40 PM ET ) It depends on the teams need. I think Bush is the best college football player and if the Texans stay with Carr, he would be a good pick for them.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Allen (T-town, AL): Jay, you're quite a talented QB. What other programs recruited you comming out of HS?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Jay Cutler: (1:41 PM ET ) I wasn't highly recruited. I was commmitted to Illinois for awhile but they dropped me and Vandy was one of the only other schools that wanted me at QB.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
stephen, ma: what's the coaching like out there?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Jay Cutler: (1:41 PM ET ) It's been great. The intesity is up. They pass on as much knowledge as they can to all the players here which is great.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Jeff (South Beach): Jay, we want you in Miami - have you talked to Nick Saban yet?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Jay Cutler: (1:41 PM ET ) I met him last night and we had a great meeting. They might be drafting a QB.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Don (Kalamazoo, MI): Jay... Mel Kiper has you as high as number 9 to the Lions, a place where you would obviously be competing for a starting spot right away. Would you be excited to step in there with the obvious talent they have at the receiver positions?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Jay Cutler: (1:42 PM ET ) I think it's always tough for a rookie QB to come in and make a quick impact. But the Lions do have great talent at WR so anything is possible.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Allen (Tuscaloosa, AL): Always wanted to ask this....how hard are the classes at Vandy?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Jay Cutler: (1:43 PM ET ) The hardest part is getting in and getting adjusted to the workload but once you get it down, it's hard to not be successful.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Bengi (Dyersville, IA): What aspect are you most looking forward to in the NFL life?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Jay Cutler: (1:44 PM ET ) Just getting paid to do what you love. It's always been a dream to play in the NFL so if it can become a reality that would be great.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Ron (Camarillo, CA): Jay, who has impressed you the most this week?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Jay Cutler: (1:45 PM ET ) Our entire WR corp is big and fast and it's been a blast throwing to them.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
John (Kansas): do you like sandwiches?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Jay Cutler: (1:45 PM ET ) I love them. Especially turkey.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Kerry: Jay, random question. Did you know this former Vandy receiver doing the Real World/Road Rules thing? If so, was he any good?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Jay Cutler: (1:46 PM ET ) M.J. Garrett. I played with him for two years. He was good.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
3FF (Arlington, VA): Dude, do you get any groupies down there at the Senior Bowl?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Jay Cutler: (1:46 PM ET ) I'm not aware if the Senior Bowl has groupies.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Michael, Washington DC: As a Vandy '05, just wanted to express my gratitute. Although we fell a game short of a bowl, I've never seen Vandy fans as fired up as last season.
<!-- displayed mode -->
Jay Cutler: (1:47 PM ET ) Thank you very much. I appreciate the support. Coach Johnson and the staff are really working hard to keep improving on last season.
Thanks for the questions!
<!-- displayed mode -->
Buzzmaster: (1:49 PM ET ) Thanks, Jay!
<!-- displayed mode -->
Buzzmaster: (1:49 PM ET ) OK, we're hoping to get Michael Robinson in here next .. but could be someone else .. oh, the drama ..

Batch (Beantown): Speaking of drama ... ok I don't have anything clever to put here

John (Buffalo): Buzz....are you getting these guys cell phone numbers so you can freeload a few tickets down the road???
<!-- displayed mode -->
Buzzmaster: (1:52 PM ET ) How did you know that? Freaky.

Jeff (Cleveland): Isn't all the drama on TNT?

Buzzmaster: (1:52 PM ET ) Not today.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Marty (Cinci): What happened to MoSto?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Buzzmaster: (1:54 PM ET ) He got pulled into a meeting. But we'll get him on eventually. It's about a 200 ft. walk from the lobby to where we are so that's 200 ft of agents, scouts. hanger's on to wade through ..
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Todd (Boston): Buzz, any random thoughts on life that you'd like to share with us right now?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Buzzmaster: (1:57 PM ET ) I'm eating conocut creme pie right now.
<!-- displayed mode -->
Buzzmaster: (2:01 PM ET ) OK, we're going to have a lull in players for awhile because there are team meetings and the South team is practicing at 2:30 ET. But Scouts, Inc.'s Todd McShay is coming back any second to break things down ..
<!-- displayed mode -->
Scout's Inc.'s Todd McShay: (2:04 PM ET ) Hello everyone. What's on your mind?
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Rocky (Nashville): Does Jay Cutler really have a realistic chance of being a top 10 draft pick?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Scout's Inc.'s Todd McShay: (2:07 PM ET ) I think he does. I think Cutler will be off the board in the top 15. I don't see him necessarily as a top 15 pick in terms of overall talent but the lack of depth in this year's QB class has pushed him into that range. I'm impressed by his arm strength and he's realitively mobile. He's intelligent, competitive and tough.
<!-- displayed mode -->
Scout's Inc.'s Todd McShay: (2:08 PM ET ) He'll need some good coaching and a lot of work on his mechanics. He's a little up and down in terms of his accuracy and consistency.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Ricky, Houston: So what team do you guys think will draft Michael Robinson and do you see him playing QB in the NFL?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Scout's Inc.'s Todd McShay: (2:09 PM ET ) I don't see any chance he plays QB in the NFL. He's wasting his time here. It's really too bad. It's a borderline travesty because he has a whole week to take advantage of everyone being here and to show what he can do as a receiver or RB. He's doing a little bit as a return guy which is another area he could contribute at. But to make an NFL team and make a career of it, it would have to be at WR or RB.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Marty (Cinci): Is Mo Stovall a first rounder? Where and when do you see him going?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Scout's Inc.'s Todd McShay: (2:11 PM ET ) I think Stovall will come off the board in the second round. There is obviously some concern about his one year of production. He has better numbers in his senior year than his first three years combined. It seems like the light has come on for him and playing under Coach Weis was helpful for him. He took off a good amount of weight and got in better shape and for the first time he is really motivated to play. He doesn't have great speed and he takes a litle long to get in and out of his routes but when you are 6'4'', 220 and running in the mid 4.5's with the ability to catch over the shoulder, there is room for you in the NFL. I think he will be among the top 4-6 receivers taken in the draft.
<!-- displayed mode --><HR width="80%" noShade SIZE=1>
Rashad from Fremont, CA: Todd, Of the receivers at practices this week, who cathes the ball in his hands (not letting it get to the body) most consistently?

Scout's Inc.'s Todd McShay: (2:13 PM ET ) Good question. I would say Jason Avant or Sinorice Moss. Those two guys are very good at that. Avant dropped a couple passes today though. But he is the most consistent of the group, with Moss a close second. Moss is good at ''plucking'' the ball and bringing it into this body. The guy who has been the worst at this is Derek Hagan who has really been fighting the ball this week.

Christine (Fresno): What player had the biggest difference between actual sized to the size listed in their schools media guide?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Scout's Inc.'s Todd McShay: (2:14 PM ET ) Christine bringing the tough questions! Maurice Stovall had dropped 20 pounds. D'Angelo Williams was 5'8'' 1/2 which was shorter than expected.

Jeff (Cleveland): Whos the best pash rusher down there?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Scout's Inc.'s Todd McShay: (2:16 PM ET ) I think it's Kiwanuka. He hasn't had a great week yet and got planted by D'Brickashaw Ferguson today.

Todd (Birmingham, AL): How much does UAB's Darrell Hackney's lack of height hurt his status?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Scout's Inc.'s Todd McShay: (2:17 PM ET ) It certainly doesn't help but each year there seems to be less of an emphasis on height at the QB position. I'll have a better feel on him after this afternooon's practice.

TJ (Portland, ME): Who is the best RB that nobdy is talking about?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Scout's Inc.'s Todd McShay: (2:19 PM ET ) Jerious Norwood has really stood out as an underrated player here at the Senior Bowl. Very explosive with decent size. He needs to get a little bigger but he has stood out already this week.

Manny (Hawaii): Todd, answer a Hula Bowl question. I watched the game and was very impressed with the starting center from the North squad, he later played tackle and looked good also. His name was Brian Barthelmes from UVA. I don't see him on anyone's draft boards? He is listed at 6'7 290 and looked pretty physical to me, what is the deal?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Scout's Inc.'s Todd McShay: (2:21 PM ET ) He's a classic example of a good college guy who doesn't project as a real contributor in the NFL because of his size and quickness. There were very few players in that game that will get drafted in the first three rounds. The majority of players in that game are second day draft picks.

Andrew (Jackson, MS): What's the buzz on D.J. Shockley?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Scout's Inc.'s Todd McShay: (2:22 PM ET ) He didn't have a great day yesterday. Inconsistent play on the ball. He misssed several open targetrs and he looked like he was getting frustrated. You also have to take into consideration it's his first day back after awhile in a whole new sceme with new players. That's a lot of kinks to iron out. Overall the consensus is Shockley deserves a chance to show what he can do at QB before looking at a possible position switch.

bob (nyc): Last year at this time Matt Jones was a 3rd rounder at best, but the Jags took a flyer on him in the 1st based solely on athletic ability. What team would be most likely to do the same this year with Hester? Denver, maybe, with two first rounders and no real speed guys in the passing game?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Scout's Inc.'s Todd McShay: (2:25 PM ET ) I think there are two qualifiers .. first off it has to be a team that has shown a pension for creativity. Like the Steelers or Patriots. The second thing is it has to be a team without real specific needs. Hester will not be a first round pick and I'd be surprised if he got into the second round. As for the third or fourth round, more teams are willing to take a chance on a position move so it's hard to predict who might take that chance.

John from Philly: haven't heard to much about demeco ryans. is he making any impression at all?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Scout's Inc.'s Todd McShay: (2:26 PM ET ) Yeah, he looked good yesterday. It's tough with LBs to say much about them after one day. He is probably the most instinctive LB here. He is quick and make plays in the short area. But his lack of great speed was obvious yesterday.

Buzzmaster: (2:27 PM ET ) Side note .. when Jay Cutler was here a minute ago he looked at the roster and said ''Oh, DeMeco's here?''. He wasn't happy he was on the other team ; )

Jared Seattle: How do you view Jerome Harrison in the Senior Bowl and do you think he can be and everydown back in the NFL?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Scouts Inc.'s Todd McShay: (2:29 PM ET ) His size really concerns me. It's not necessarily the height but his lack of overal bulk. He will have a hard time handling a full load in the NFL. When push comes to shove he will level off as a very good No. 2, change of pace type back in the NFL. I don't think anyone would draft him with the thought of being a full-time starter.

Scouts Inc.'s Todd McShay: (2:30 PM ET ) I appreciate all the great questions. Today we start to get a much better view of the guys and who is improving and who is disappointing. I'll be back tomorrow for more questions!

Jim (New York, NY): What's the word on Michael Robinson, is he around to take a question or two?

Buzzmaster: (2:41 PM ET ) He will be. He was going to do it earlier but a team official wanted to talk to him. We'll get him. Hopefully he won't read his ESPN.com evaluation first or he might not want to talk to us.

Matt- Bordentown NJ: Yo buzzmaster- If you had the 1st pick in the draft (assume you need every position) and you had to pick someone who's there at senior bowl practice (no one else) who do you take?
<!-- displayed mode -->
Buzzmaster: (2:46 PM ET ) Hmm.. that's a good question because there isn't that one superstar player that overshadows everyone like in some years. The QB prospects are good but none of them are really great. Same for the RBs. I'd say D'Brickashaw Ferguson. McShay was right, that dude is a monster. He could anchor anybody's OL.

Batch (Beantown): Buzzmaster ever consider going by Master of Buzz? It carries more authority with it then your current title
<!-- displayed mode -->
Buzzmaster: (2:49 PM ET ) Have to get promoted for that title.

Alex (Palm Harbor, FL): Matt, since Buzz is probably begging down Michael Robinson at the moment. I'll answer your question: D'Brickashaw Ferguson...because it don't matter who's got the ball if they don't have blockin'; just ask David Carr, Dom Capers, and the shoulda been fired Charley Casserly.
