I think all he did was lift. No numbers posted for the rest of the combines.

Myself I like Upshaw and is one of the options I have in the 1st rd.

how many times did he lift? and was his arms a good length?

22 reps.

32" Arm Length

I think Upshaw is a ball player with very good instincts and feel for the game. I'm not as big on the combines as some are.

What do you think of Hightower?

What do you think of Hightower?

I like him as an ILB but feel he is better suited in the 4-3 as opposed to the 3-4

Since neither of them are really elite athletes I would rather have Hightower and his experience at every front seven position.

I could have sworn I read somewhere that we employ a hybrid defenses that uses elements of both. You don't think Hightower's versatility would be an asset to Ryan's defense and allow a greater degree of creativity?

I'm sure he could fit into the Cowboys system given that Ryan does run an unconventional defense and again I like Upshaw. I just see him as a better fit in a Bears type defense more in the role you see with Urlacker.

hightower is starting to intrigue me. If carter isn't ready we can use him at ILB (if we sign a OLB in FA or franchise spencer) and then we can also have him slide outside and rush the passer some. But for some reason hightower doesn't strike me as a physical imposing guy with a high motor that we need opposite of ware.
Out of all passrushers I seem to like bruce irvin the best.
