Dan Mullen can't close. Will that change this year?

He said that a few days ago.

We are saying the same thing, which is why I didn't understand the first comment toward me. Taven Bryan was a freak of nature and could overwhelm OLineman with sheer strength and athleticism at the college level. Not sure where he is now, but I don't think he is still in the league.

As far as Strickland, I haven't seen him, don't really know who he is, and not up to date on current recruiting, so I wasn't addressing HIM per se, just a general observation on technique versus strength.

As an aside, when I coached, I used to do this drill with the DL and OL. I was in shorts, tennis shoes, and no helmet. I would get position on them, and then drive them across the field. Anyone who could stop me got $100. I never paid out a dime. Some of these guys are playing D2 ball around the Carolinas and could not believe an old man with tennis shoes and no helmet could beat them like that. OL is a position game, like JJ. Get position, then submission. The OL who understand that fare way better than those who don't.

He’s training to get through working with Savage...which is wayyyy scarier

 

[JDW]

I wish we could but there was a CB for him to Jimbos cult today and even Alderman said it’s likely trending that way

Taven Bryan was drafted late 1st round by jags and he is considered a bust at this point....he'll probably go somewhere else and be a great contributor though!

 

[JDW]

How weird would it be if he did?

A 300 lb kid doing reps of 225 lbs????

Not impressed.

Throw another plate or two on there and then show me the video.

How many reps at what weight do OLs do at NFL tryouts?

probably 20-25 reps of 225.

that’s pretty remarkable for a high schooler.

Thanks. 16 or so seemed pretty good for high school. Do I remember one of our OLs that only did that at the NFL tryout under Butters?

I admit to knowing nothing about weight lifting or technique. So, I could be completely wrong in my observation. I went and looked at a few of the nfl combine bench press vids. Almost all of the vids are full extensions or very near to it. Still, he looked good.
