Caption This, NFL Combine Edition: What Is Jim Harbaugh Thinking?

What could possibly be on Jim Harbaugh's mind with this facial expression? (Brian Spurlock-US PRESSWIRE)

We normally run our weekly Caption This contest on Friday, but upon seeing this picture I felt obligated to run a random version of the contest today. Coach Harbaugh demands it!

This picture is Jim Harbaugh sitting with his brother John Harbaugh at the NFL Combine at some point this week. The original caption described them as sitting at the Combine and scouting the event. There is no context to the picture other than that.

I cannot even begin to imagine what has caused Coach Harbaugh to provide such a face. Coach Harbaugh is not one to give a whole lot away in press conference, but as we have seen, he can let his emotions go sometimes when he is not answering media questions. We might be seeing that here.

Has he just watched a poor 40-time? Bitter beer face? What could possible have led to this reaction? Or was he just caught in the midst of a facial twitch that had nothing to do with somebody struggling at the Combine?

John: “Psst, Jim, I just farted”
Jim: “Cripes! I can smell it!”
Guy in front of Jim: “Nose plugs, quick”
Guy three rows in front: “I think I’m going to hurl!”
A second later, the Harbaugh brothers exhale and ask each other: “Who’s got it better than us?”

he probably saw...

when that one receiver was running the 40 and fell into the laser timer. Thinking “totally not drafting that guy… yeesh.”

About Ben Grubbs possible replacement

John: “I’m thinking about picking an offensive lineman. The Ravens don’t have enough money to resign Ben Grubbs. He is most likely to walk. Ozzie told me.”

Jim: “Offensive linemen…are you kidding me? There is none worth picking at 29. David DeCastro was a slouch in Stanford and Cordy Glenn must be doing ‘roids for pulling up his combine stats. I’m telling you, bro, don’t even consider drafting one”. (Jim hoping that his brother doesn’t pick his guy)

John: "Yea, you might be right. My team still needs a guard, though. Joe is getting a ton of money this year, and I got to protect that investment. Hey, if I remember, Chilo is a free agent, right? You think he could get the job done?

Jim’s face says it all. He is already picturing Flacco getting pounded on the ground with Chilo standing next to him, hands on his hips.
