It's also important to note that XOS supplies most sports teams, including NFL teams, with their video management systems. This includes the Patriots - every time you see video of a Pats meeting room that's an XOS system. Hell, if you watched All-Access after the draft, the computer monitor setup in that room had an XOS Patriots-themed desktop background. If you watched Hard Knocks in 2007, Herm Edwards' computer had an XOS Chiefs-themed desktop background.

Somewhere I read that the Pats are one of three teams that doesn't use the combined scouting reports but have their own. I'm sketchy on the details but if I can find a link......

Pioli mentioned it in a Providence radio interview w/ Bryan Morry pre-draft in 2007. However, this is different - the Pats don't subscribe to a scouting service that gives them prospects reports, yes, but they do still collect tapes from colleges/conferences in order to use for their OWN scouting services. This is preventing them from doing that.

I think if they are to hold out indef, that it negatively affects the players that go from say Rnd4-UDFA. Mabye that guy that is a diamond in the rough never gets found, maybe Brady(6 Rnd) drifts off as a UDFA cast off, never to play a down in the NFL...

I think this is unlikely. It isn't like teams will draft no one on day 2, or that they will stop teams from trying out UDFAs. While the process will be more haphazard, those guys will still end up in camps.

Yes ... and I always thought Bill worked mostly on word of mouth and tips from his amigos in the coaching ranks. I remember reading where Bill would talk to the water guy or the locker room guy asking questions about prospects.

the highly hyped generally perform and don't make it below radar since they are well known. The tapes help with the mediocrities and this is where the "hidden gem" aspect comes from........ (This Scouting). Scouting shows how a player looks in games/practice/ etc....... stats are always available. but they r just numbers.






the top will perform and their numbers will speak. Middle tier athletes benefit the most b/c less is seen about them in game impacts.



I really don't give a ****.... i'm tired, rambling

good night :-)

From what I have read, this affects the NFL agency that tells college

juniors where they will be drafted in the 2010 draft. Without this

information, a lot of juniors will declare for the draft without any

chance of being drafted. The colleges are shooting themselves in

the foot.
