For those who say DeCastro is a "technician"

[TheSport78]

The dude put up 34 reps on the bench press today.

Nice! Thanks for passing that along.

 

[HoosierCowboy]

he's a strong technician

:laugh2: So there's that.

Glenn put up 31 with much longer arms.

 

[RS12]

They guy already made his money and rep on three years worth of film in a pro style offense. Combine was never gonna hurt him.

Glenn put up 31 with much longer arms.

I think its a given that in the shuttle and the rest of the agility drills. Decastro will be better then Glenn. And that is what really matters if you want pulling guards getting to the second level

 

[Hostile]

I got a little moist after reading that.

I hate to see this. A great combine for DeCastro will kill any chance we have at him.

He'll be making himself money and be angling for the highest drafted interior o-lineman, but he'll kill our chances.

Bench is probably the most useless combine drill anyway. I doubt anyone's stock has really changed much based off of it.

I dont know about that, Mike Adams only put up 19, doubt it helps him.

It can if you do really poorly. Like an OL who does 8 or something.

And yet something tells me if DeCastro put up just 22 reps you'd be talking about how it was a major red flag.

Yeah, with Glenn being a much bigger guy, he should be at a huge disadvantage to DeCastro in those drills. Course we won't know for sure til we see the numbers of course. What should be more interesting is to compare Glenn's combine numbers to Nicks when he came out since they are very similar in size.

I would probably try to compare DeCastro's numbers to a guy like Steve Hutchinson coming out to see where he stacks up.

It's not just a measure of strength, but a measure of consistency, hard work, and determination.

It shows that you've been putting work in the weight room. It's much more than just how many times you can put up 225 lbs.

I agree that it's not a functional test at all, but it shows which players can display general strength and muscular endurance, and who's been putting in the work.

 

[Bowdown27]

I was proud the other day I put up 8 reps of 225 now I just look silly compared to big decastro lol

 

[cobra]

Wow.

Konz only puts up 18. That really hurts him.

As good as the bench is for DeCastro, it is equally bad for Konz.

Nope, I'm not anti-Decastro at all. Just because I question whether he's as great as some claim doesn't mean I think he'd be a bad pick or will be a bad player.

Even if he'd put up 40 reps, bench is still next to useless as a test.

Yeah he did great. Glenn with 31 with long arms is also very good.

I would take either.

Scary how Blake only had 22, Konz at 18, and Adams at 19

Molk had 41, watch out

 

[RS12]

Hang on a minute. If it pushes him to 45, not so bad.
