As a fellow long-armed guy, this isn't really fair. We, by definition, do more work than the short-armed guys.

Wouldn't the work be equal = 0 because the location of the bar at the beginning and at the end is the same, thus, displacement = 0? :p

Plenty of DL with 33/34 arms got 20+ reps and even some over 30 (Garrett and Thomas)...so not an excuse in my book.

RB De'angelo Henderson 5074 208 - 20 reps

In comparison...

DT Jaleel Johnson 6030 316 - 19 reps
DE DeMarcus Walker 6035 280 - 18 reps
DE Tarell Basham 6040 269 - 15 reps

I wouldn't want any of these weak guys playing on our DL...would you?

Jaleel is a beast at DT.

Basham is also a strong guy on the field, showed at the Senior Bowl.

All this is telling me is that these guys have even more potential

Sorry, I must have hurt your feelings in some thread. I think idgit has started a support group for he and others. My send him a PM.
Actually no. We have never really crossed paths. I can say I have learned more about scouting and football in general reading your post. Just reading in threads you are the type of person to never give in on anything though. How long you gonna keep going at it with Fuzzy? Gotta admire that your willing to risk further benching to prove your point to stubbon old Fuzzy.

Fine, let's just see how they do in their other drills.

Right now, all I can see is them getting pushed around on Sundays.

For DE If I remember correctly the most important things are weight, forty, three cone, and to a lesser extent broad jump. Bench showed little relative importance for predicting NFL success but for DT it was.

FS and WR are the hardest to predict.

4.64 is plenty fast and he plays fast on the field.

At his size and with his length he does not need to be a burner but MMQB and others were talking about how he was going to blow up the combine in testing, he did well in other tests but his 40 was slow comparatively speaking.

This does not change how I feel about the player, just noting the slow 40 time nothing more.

I can like the player and his skill set while still being somewhat disappointed in his 40 time, it is acceptable.

That's what I'd do. If you're going to stupidly let Leary walk, use one of our 1sts on Lamp and for the love of God move Collins to RT.

Still working on our two 2nds.

Someone's been hanging with Ryan Leaf.

With the combine more than half over it's safe to say the Cowboys have been blown away by a few players.

The question is who.

Besides Brad Kaaya.
