Sunday I got a chance to watch the Senior Bowl, which I had on DVD. I missed the original broadcast to see the Minutemen basketball team lose to Charolette.

I thought Vladimir Ducasse played well. He move quickly and fluidly for such a huge man. It is obvious that his technique is still raw, but he more than held his own during the game. He did get one penalty for hands in the face, but on the next play he did a classic "fists to the chest" of an opposing defensive lineman and stopped the pass rusher in his tracks. Ducasse also did well on running plays; burying his man several times.

The National Football post has some comments on Ducasse's performance at the Senior Bowl.
