By

Posted at
8:13 AM
What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about PATRICK PETERSON: LSU, 6002 219 4.34. Junior entry. Two-and-half year starter. The top player at any position in the 2011 Draft in our opinion. Big, fast, athletic, flexible, strong, intelligent, confident, and competitive. As an additional bonus he has exceptional punt return skills, averaging over 16 yards per return. As a kickoff return specialist he averaged a gaudy 29.1 yards per return. It is doubtful that he will return kickoffs if he is a starting corner. Good foot quickness and change of direction ability. Can stick his foot in the ground and drive on the ball in front or plant and go get a ball in the air. He can drive and snap off quickly. Has recover ability. Sticky man cover ability. Physical in press man to man. A smooth athlete who can accelerate to top speed quickly. Closing and catch-up speed. Built like a running back. Attacks the football with outstanding eye-hand coordination. Can match up on opponent’s top receiver. He locked horns with Alabama’s Julio Jones three years in a row. Plays square. A top level competitor who can play the run or the pass equally as well. An explosive player who will look back for the ball while leaning into the receiver. Won’t let a receiver off the line. Blankets his target. Good concentration on the ball in the air. Snatches ball in a crowd. A playmaker. Dynamic with the ball in his hands. A threat to score a touchdown after an interception or a kick return. Confident in his return ability. Elusive open field runner. Teams generally stay away from his side of the field throwing or running the ball. He not only can take a receiver out of the game, but he can come off and make a play on another receiver in the area. Related to NFL players Bryant McFadden, and Santana and Sinorice Moss. Will both wrap and cut tackle. Voted the Bednarik (Defensive Player of the Year) and Thorpe (Defensive Back of the Year) Award winners. 2010 stats: 42 tackles, 1 1/2 TFL, 4 INTs, 6 PBU, 1 FF, 16.1 punt return average (2 TDs), and 29.1 kickoff return average. BTR:left 4.58, right 4.54. OSR:1/34. Top five talent. (A-32, H-9 1/4, V-38, SS-4.07).

Draft Rewind 2012 - Robert Griffin III - Washington Redskins
By
proscoutdan
Posted at
7:00 AM
What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about ROBERT GRIFFIN
III: Baylor, 6023 223 4.41.
Junior entry. Three-year starter who is a world class track athlete and a
polished passer. As in most spread offensive schemes, he throws several
horizontal routes, quick hitches, bubble screens, slants, and out cuts. He does,
however, throw vertical routes with good timing and accuracy. Drops the ball in
the well. Griffin doesn’t hang the ball or throw it up for grabs. Has book and
football intelligence. Throws a consistent spiral with a quick 3/ 4 arm release.
No hesitation on his delivery or release. Sudden to catch and release the ball
from a shotgun snap. Is the master of an up-tempo offense. Quick to read and
react to what he sees defensively. Also runs the read option to keep pressure
off the passing game. Explosive and disciplined in his play. Consistent and
confident to drive the ball down the field and outside the numbers. Completed
72.4% of his passes in 2011. Rare movement skills. Quick feet to sidestep and
avoid a rush. Has the ability to make plays on the move right or left, but
favors rolling to his right. He can escape with suddenness. Resets his body and
feet with balance to make a quick and accurate throw. Creates and extends plays.
Offensive coordinator may choose to tailor their offense to Griffin’s skill set.
A smooth and effortless athlete with good field awareness. He can hit a target
at full speed with anticipation, good timing, and ball placement. Will tunnel in
on first receiver at times and get away with it as spread out as defenses are in
college. Exploits the cavities in a defense. As a runner he has vision, feel,
and elusiveness. A natural runner who is dangerous and slippery in the open
field. Durability is a question mark with a torn right ACL in 2009 and a
concussion suffered in Texas Tech game in 2011, missing the 2nd half of the
game. Bottom line – he doesn’t panic, is determined to stay in the pocket, and
can take a hit. Outstanding production. 2011 stats: 291/402, 4293 passing yds,
72.4%, 37 TDs, 6 INTs. OSR:1/15. First round. (A-32 1/4, H-9 1/2, SS-DNP,
VJ-39).

Three-year starter who can run and has good athletic ability. Active. Averaged
10 tackles per game as a senior playing inside linebacker. Competitive and
intense in his play. Top effort player with a high motor. Quick initial read and
react, does a nice job getting downhill and to the ball. Smart player, good
angles to the ball and quality drops in coverage with good zone awareness. Good
technique, uses his hands well to take on blocks and redirects off the block to
the ball. Above average footwork when attacking a block. Occasionally will under
run a play but for the most part is extremely instinctive with an excellent nose
for the ball. Takes good drops in coverage, reacts well on the throw with no
wasted steps. Good coverage awareness, sees the receiver and the quarterback.
Has good range in pursuit and plays fast with no wasted movement. He is a
quality linebacker who played well both inside and outside. Has a chance to be a
productive “blue collar” NFL starter. Will contribute on special teams. Career

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about ADRIAN
CLAYBORN: Iowa, 6025 281 4.83. Three-year starter who is explosive, disciplined,
and relentless in his play. He is as good as any defensive lineman in the past
several years to disengage a blocker and make a play. In short, he doesn’t stay
blocked. Excellent use of hands to separate, strength to pull and jerk. Stays on
his feet. Has slippery quality. Plays with power and activity in his legs. A
ready built four-man front right defensive end. Strong against double teams.
Plays with leverage. Sudden to read and react after controlling blocker. Gave
second round draft choice, Rodger Saffold, fits in 2009. Can feel pressure and
react on the move. Explosive when delivering a blow. Good power base with
strength to hold his ground. Good balance and body control. His arm length is
average but his hand quickness, punch, placement, and extension are unique.
Closes inside with authority. Has the lateral speed and quickness to string out
and pursue to the sideline. Good awareness and instincts to play a variety of
blocking schemes and combination blocks. Productive versus pass or run. Doesn’t
lose ground when he tackles a ball carrier. Hard hitter. Athletic through
traffic. Urgent and intense. Has good take off quickness on his pass rush.
Tenacious. Accelerates off blocks. Burst to close on quarterback. Works his feet
and hands together. Turns speed to power. Was born with a mild case of Erbs’
palsy and had some nerve damage in his neck and right side. Did not need surgery
but may be relegated to the right side only because of it. Medical and a red
flag will determine his draft status. Questions are still unanswered as to why
he didn’t bench at the Combine or compete at the Senior Bowl. Productive in 2009
with 70 tackles, 11 1/2 sacks, 2 PBU, and 8 1/2 TFL. 2010 stats: 52 tackles, 3
1/2 sacks, 7 TFL, 1 FF, and 1 PBU. Edge speed:left 2.10, right 2.07. OSR:10/26.

protection where he can redirect with body control and balance. Effective mirror
and slide. Nifty feet. Strong drive blocker. Plays the game on his feet. Rarely
on the ground. Good balance. Works to finish his blocks. A good leader that

the strength to block back (choke block) and cut off a defensive tackle on a
trap up the middle and can block nose tackles with leverage. Senior Bowl report:
good use of hands. Scrappy. High in pulls. Generally kept his hands inside the

step. Uses hands well and takes good downhill angles. Tracks well when moving
forward and in space. Some hesitation in initial read but when he “sees it” he
is quick to the ball. Runs well and is a willing hitter. Lacks power at the

working to the second level. Gets bounced around inside and lacks lower body
power. Solid in coverage. Takes good drops and is athletic in transition. Good

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about ROBERT
QUINN: North Carolina, 6040 265
4.65. Junior entry. Two-year starter. Plays right defensive end in a four man
front. Missed the 2010 season due to a suspension by the NCAA for accepting
illegal benefits. Was the best pass rusher in the Atlantic Coast Conference in
2009. Possesses natural hand, foot, and lateral quickness. Doesn’t stay blocked
despite the fact he draws several holding calls during a season. Tough to block
as a pass rusher. Good flexibility to run the hoop or bend off the edge. Can
slip and accelerate off a block. Fast twitch pass rusher who can explode and
jolt a pass protector. An instinctive athlete who is disciplined in his contain
rush and checks reverses and counters before he sprints from the backside to get
in on the play. Would like to see him finish better at times by wrapping up.
Good change of direction with a closing burst to the ball carrier. Jams the
tight ends to avoid a free release. Needs to improve his ability to shed and
stack in the run game. Has the tools, needs the technique. Was voted the ACC’s
Brian Piccolo Award winner as the league’s most courageous player in 2008. As a
senior in high school, a tumor was found on top of his spinal cavity. It was
benign; however it caused a fluid buildup that had to be drained and is checked
twice a year. Quinn was a 3-time state heavyweight wrestling champion in South
Carolina. His record was 86-0. Father, James Quinn, was an Olympic caliber
hurdler. 2009 stats: 52 tackles, 19 TFL, 11 sacks, 6 FF. Edge speed:left 1.97,

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about LARRY FOOTE: Michigan, 6006 232
4.81. An undersized outside linebacker with relatively short arms and legs and
decent strength. Had a solid senior year. High energy competitor. Aggressive.
Has good run defense reactions. Quick at the snap. Steps up and takes on blocks
with toughness and leverage. Can get tied up and bounced around some, but he
works to the ball aggressively. Gets through traffic with awareness. Gives good
second effort — bounces up quickly from the ground to continue to chase a play.
Lacks good speed. A little tight in his movements and sluggish in his
change-of-direction. Overruns some tackles. Capable inside blitzer. Has solid
zone coverage skills — drops off quickly and plays the short routes well.
Overachiever type who is limited somewhat by his size and speed.

effort to make a second block. Has lateral agility quickness to cut off slant
moves and mirror pass rusher. Runs his feet on contact. A creative team that
runs the ball may use him at fullback. A scrappy and feisty center who may buck
the trend, but there are no interior linemen that have made a team weighing 280
pounds in the modern era. OSR:6/49. Seventh round/PFA. (A-32 1/2, H-9 1/2,

Florida, 6046 270 4.76. Junior entry. Started seven games in college career.
Transferred from Fort Scott Community College after playing at the College of
the Canyons as a freshman. Football intelligence is a question mark. Can he
adjust to schemes quickly? Awareness? Does he learn quickly? He will need reps.
Extremely athletic. Speed rusher that plays on the same side as George Selvie at
times. Built like Simon Rice. Long arms and legs. Makes several plays from
backside when he went unblocked. Technique poor. One move player. When he sees
it he chases it. Can turn the corner and flatten down the line of scrimmage.

buried, bounced around, and bulldozed at times. Plays with his hand in the dirt
but will stand up at times. Lacks the strength to control a blocker. Slow to
disengage. Instincts are off. Gets his hands up as a pass rusher and will go for
the strip. Question mental toughness when he came out of games for nicks, then
returns. Plays on special teams. Gives a top effort rushing the passer. Has
God-given talents, but would be classified as a boom or bust player. In 2009 had

SOLIAI: Utah, 6040 344 5.13.
Two-year starter. Huge wide-bodied grass grabber with long arms. Endurance is a

on a man with his size that can move. Ideal nose tackle to push the pocket. Gets
inside push. Doesn’t always play low but is hard to move. Graded out as one of

the second day with his weight concerns. Did not lift weights as of press time
due to a right elbow injury. Fourth/fifth round. (A-34, H-9 3/4, BP-DNP,
10-1.73).

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about ERIC
BERRY:
Tennessee, 5115 211 4.45. Junior entry. Three-year starter. A safety with corner
skills. Versatile enough to play either free or strong safety and interchange
responsibilities and has the hip flexibility, foot quickness, change of
direction, and recoverability to play corner. Good intelligence. Can learn and
retain coverage schemes, awareness to recognize and analyze offensive set
tendencies, and react quickly to keys. Can make calls and communicate coverages
vocally. Has a fierce sense of competition. Plays with confidence and poise.
Mentally tough and durable. Good concentration and a high reaction IQ. Reads the
eyes of the quarterback. Good leadership qualities. Has long arms and
extraordinary leaping ability. Impact hitter that is always around the ball.
Alley player on run support. Ability to stay on his feet and play off blockers.
Lined up as a safety or as a linebacker/hybrid in the Tampa-2 system in 2009 and
excelled. Active and aggressive. Has tackling courage - heavy hitter. Did a
better job in 2009 of wrapping up as a tackler instead of just exploding on the
ball carrier. Slipped off a few tackles if he went high. Total package of
measurables, athletic ability, physical ability, intelligence, instincts,
intangibles, and leadership qualities. Will contribute on all special teams. One
of the top three players in the 2010 draft. Second in NCAA history with 494
interception return yards. SEC Defensive Player of the Year as a sophomore. Jim

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about DARYL
SMITH: Georgia Tech, 6016 230
4.70. Four year starter inside. Could project outside. A little smaller than
ideal but he has fairly long arms and is built strong. Tough competitor with
good instincts. Locates and reacts quickly. Fills holes aggressively. Does a
good job of working laterally. Keeps his shoulders squared properly — finds
lanes to attack and takes disciplined angles in pursuit, making sure to not
allow the runner to cut back behind him. Quick footed and agile, though he has
some trouble with low blocks at times. Sheds blocks with good hand usage but he
has a tendency to run around contact — generally effective at it — can slip
blocks and get back into the play. Good athlete with solid speed. Secure
tackler. Adjusts well in space. Effective blitzer. Needs work in coverage, but
he gets good depth in a zone and can run with backs in man. Plays with a lot of
determination. Impressed at the Senior Bowl. Should be a big contributor on
special teams while he develops.

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about ANDREW LUCK: Stanford, 6040 234 4.67. Junior entry.
Three-year starter. A big right-handed passer who can win the game in the pocket
but is mobile and athletic enough to avoid and escape a rush. Processes
information quickly. Understands pass protection. Luck is a top quality
individual on and off the field. He is a leader who can step up and take charge
of his teammates. On the field he is given much responsibility at the line of
scrimmage for strategic checks and adjustments. Excellent football aptitude. He
has a keen sense of recognizing match-ups that he can take advantage of while
moving the team down the field. Stanford utilizes an assortment of personnel
groupings which is a good sign that Luck can handle a complex offensive scheme.
He was weaned on an NFL offense and playbook. His offense was a power zone
running game from a variety of formations. He plays both under center and in the
shotgun formation. His role in the offense was to balance the running game with
a variety of play action drop back and movement type passes. His delivery and
release is quick with no wasted motion. Always ready to throw. Makes quick and
decisive decisions with the ball. Consistently accurate short and long keeping
receivers on their routes. Possesses the arm strength to throw deep, sideline
combinations, and crossing routes. Can stick the ball into tight spots. Good
drop back speed to a throwing point, good balance, active feet, and body control
to be ready to pass. Sees the whole field. Keeps his eyes focused down the
field. Good pocket presence. Can throw the ball from different angles. Steps up
into the pocket. Understands the timing in the pocket. Guns the ball to his
target area. Good ball placement. Strong enough to shake pass rushers. Spreads
the wealth. Throws to wide receivers, tight ends, and backs. Good ball handler
who protects the ball. A competitor who thrives on pressure and competition.
Rare touch to throw the ball over a defense. Good timing, anticipation, and feel
for the throw. In short, Luck is consistent, confident, reliable, respects the
game, reacts positively to adversity, and loves to play quarterback. Has been
durable over his career. Outstanding production. Did not throw at the Combine.
2011 stats: 288/404, 3517 passing yds, 71.3%, 37 TDs, 10 INTs. OSR:3/15. First
pick in the draft. (A-32 5/8, H-10, SS-4.28, VJ-36).

What Ourlads' NFL Scouting Services said about ANTOINE
CALDWELL: Alabama, 6033 307 5.27. Four-year starter. Versatile enough to play both
guard and center. Durable and smart. Must work to bend his knees because he has
long legs. Needs more functional strength. Question inside awareness at times.
Struggled to adjust on inside blitz pickup. Demonstrates ability to recover. A
good athlete with a thick lower body. Stays on his feet and occupies defender if
he plays with good knee bend. If he gets high he can get knocked back and bulled
over. Effective to slip through to the second level and cuts off linebackers.
Good balance and foot movement in pass protection if he keeps his head up. Does
both the conventional and shotgun snaps. Lacks strength to drive block in the
run game. Position wall off blocker. OSR:26/47. Fourth/ fifth round. (A-34, H-10
1/2, BP-23, 10-1.78).

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about MASON
CROSBY: Colorado, 6012 212 5.27.
Four-year starter. Explodes into the ball, consistently driving the ball deep
with excellent hang times. Good poise on the off target snaps. Handles windy
conditions and elements. An average athlete that has good flexibility and a
strong leg. As a former safety, he can breakdown and tackle on the kickoffs. Has
been consistent for four years. Takes a consistent approach to the ball and is
mechanically sound. A smart player that understands the game. He’s a
self-starter with a good work ethic and a competitive attitude. Must
consistently get ball up quickly, especially from long distances. Has had two
kicks blocked in his career. Right footed, soccer style kicker on field goals,
PATs, and kickoffs. An average athlete, but a pressure and poised player with
mental toughness. Strong legged kicker with the ability to kickoff high and deep
into end zone. He can hang the ball both at high altitude and sea level.
Averages 4.28 hang time on 10 graded kickoffs (over 4.2 is optimum.) Ball
explodes off his foot on kickoffs, FGs, and PATs. Over 70% of kickoffs are
touchbacks. Of 203 kickoffs, 138 went for touchbacks with 88 going through the
end zone. Hit 19 of 28 field goals in 2006. Attempted 88 FGs in his career and
made 66 of them. He set 30 single game, season, and career records for the
Buffaloes. His longest field goal was 60 yards. He made 12 career kicks of 50
yards or longer. His only misses out of 14 kicks late in the fourth quarter were

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about JAHVID BEST: California,
5101 199 4.38. Junior entry. Two-year starter. An explosive and talented back
with quick reactions. Smooth North/South runner that finishes his runs. Plays
fast. Sudden into the hole and demonstrates unique running skills and instincts.
Has a natural feel for running the ball. Good vision. Has the ability to create
positive yardage on poorly blocked plays. Patient to the hole and lets the block
set up. Gives the defender a leg then takes it away. Can plant and cut without
the loss of speed. Can dip in and burst outside. Has a thick lower body and good
contact balance. Good hit and spin move. Rare cut back ability and speed. Runs
the zone read out of the I-formation. Also runs plays out of the spread
formation. A difference maker that gets to the second level with instant
acceleration. Good agility in traffic. Always going forward. Slippery. Not easy
to tackle. Good hands to catch all pass routes. Good eye/hand coordination.
Durability is a question mark because of an annual pattern of missing some games
with injury. Led the country in rushing with 1580 yards in 2008. Career stats
are 364 rushes for 2668 yards, 7.3 yards per carry, and 29 touchdowns. He also

Draft Rewind 2011 - Von Miller - Denver Broncos

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about VON
MILLER: Texas A&M, 6025 237
4.60. Three-year starter who is a productive 3-4 outside pass rusher. Butkus
Award winner in 2010. May be a Will flow type linebacker who plays stacked
behind a defensive end, but has a knack and desire to rush the passer. Moved
around in the Aggie defense to take advantage of match-ups and alignments to
blitz and pressure the quarterback. Has blitzed and pressured the quarterback
from an inside stand up position as well as playing up or down in a 3- point
stance off the edge. Good balance and body control. Good lateral quickness and
reactions. Accelerates to the ball. Good burst after initial contact. Can force
a hurry or cause havoc in the backfield. Quick penetrator on the goal line.
Outstanding first step quickness and timing to fly up the field. No run
responsibility on pass downs. Because of his size he will get tied up on big
offensive tackles at times and get bounced around. The defense played a more
Pittsburgh Steeler type scheme in 2010, featuring a variety of zone blitzes,
pressures, and aggressive play. Miller lined up in the Aggie “Jack” position as
a roving linebacker and dropped back in coverage. Demonstrates ability to play
over a tight end and get leverage on the block. Locks up at times getting
upright looking for the ball instead of defeating the block and getting to the
ball. Uses his hands well and gets separation. Good upper body strength. Has a
quick first step and gets upfield in a hurry. Shows good pass rush tools and the
ability to turn the corner to get to the quarterback. Fluid for the most part in
linebacker drills. Lacks sudden change of direction and will struggle in space
at times on the perimeter. Has a nose for the football and can run down a back
getting outside. Physical hitter with a good burst to the ball. Needs some
coverage work as his depth of drop was inconsistent and he did not always take
good angles reacting on the throw. Plays like a classic 3-4 outside linebacker
as his strengths are what is needed at that position. At his best on the edge
rushing the passer. He led the country in 2009 with 17 sacks and had 5 1/2 TFL
among his 48 hits. 2010 stats: 68 tackles, 10 1/2 sacks, 17 1/2 TFL, 3 FF, 6
PBU, 1 INT. Edge speed:left 1.90, right 1.88. OSR:1/ 19. First round. (A-34, H-9
1/2, BP-21, SS-4.06).

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about SEAN LEE: Penn State, 6021 236 4.78. Three-year starter.
Projects to the outside because of angular build and lack of mass. May fit as an
inside linebacker for some 3-4 teams because of outstanding instincts. Has a
nose for the ball. Can adjust on the move. Gets through traffic and has good
ability to run to the ball. Outstanding football aptitude. Doesn’t get fooled on
play action and misdirection. Competitive. (He had to fight to get tackles on
his own team with Hull and Bowman). Has the range, speed, and lateral quickness
to be effective in downfield pursuit. Takes good angles. Can break up and make
an open field tackle. Plays with good knee bend and functional strength. A
wrap-up tackler that doesn’t give ground. Good recognition in zone coverage to
react, drop, turn, and get depth. Good mid and short area coverage and
awareness. Active and relentless in effort. Missed 2008 season with a torn ACL.
Had 324 career tackles, 29 1/2 tackles for loss, 11 sacks, and 17 passes broken
up. Personal protector for the punter. Will contribute on special teams.
OSR:10/19. Second/third round. (A-32, H-8 3/4, BP-24, SS-4.16).

Draft Rewind 2011 - Greg Little - Cleveland Browns
By
proscoutdan
Posted at
7:00 AM
What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about GREG LITTLE: North Carolina, 6024 231 4.51. Three-year
starter. Did not play in 2010 due to a ruling by the NCAA on accepting extra
benefits. Talented and athletic as any wide receiver in the 2011 draft. The
sticky wicket in Little’s production lies in the quarterback position where TJ
Yates threw more interceptions than touchdown passes and consistently missed
open receivers in 2009. The upside for the big receiver was that almost every
catch he made was spectacular and magical. Has started at both running back and
wide receiver during his career. Does it all – blocks, catches, and runs strong
after catch. Slashes through arm tackles and finishes the play. Goes up after
the ball at the high point with his strong hands and positions his body between
the ball and defender. An impact player with long arms and big hands. Possesses
natural ball skills. Plucks the ball away from his body. Has the foot quickness
to beat press coverage. Can avoid and shows a burst to get upfield and separate.
Big and strong enough for inside breaking routes. Good hip flexibility and knee
bend. Adjusts to the flight of the ball and competes to catch it. Produced
against good competition. Caught 62 passes for 724 yards and had 5 TDs in 2009.
Averaged 5.7 ypc as a running back. Benched 27 reps at Combine. OSR:6/43.
Second/third round. (A-33 1/4, H-9 1/8, VJ-40.5, SS-4.21).

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about AJ
GREEN: Georgia,
6035 211 4.50. Junior entry. Three-year starter. Was suspended the first four
games for reportedly selling a game jersey to an agent. A natural hand catcher
with good focus. He extends to catch the ball away from the frame of his body.
No blind spots. Can make the overhead circus catch as needed. A good athlete who
is quick in and out of his breaks. Demonstrates rare quickness that may be more
important than his speed. A polished route runner who has room for fine tuning
his game. For example - doesn’t always come back to the ball and is not always
crisp against a lower level talent. A wiry and strong build to compete for the
ball in a crowd. Can adjust to the ball with good hip flexibility and knee bend.
Has the speed and acceleration to eat up a cushion. Finds the ball quickly in
transition out of route. Adjusts to the flight of the ball. Good body control.
Catches the ball with the intent to break a tackle or make a defender miss. Can
run routes off of motion. Snaps off a dig route or square in with suddenness.
Extremely long arms for the position. A consistent competitor. Uses his tall
rangy build to his advantage as a blocker on run plays. A three level receiver.
Career stats: 166- 2619 yds, 15.8 ypr, 23 TDs. OSR:12/43. First round, top 10
selection. (A-34 3/8, H-9 1/4, VJ-34.5, SS-4.21).
