News: Zeke's High Praise For Tyler Smith: 'Dude Is Strong'

[terra]

Yeah but our guys were wearing Cowboys unis .. The NFL rulebook specifically states that bear hugging defensive players is okay when the defender is wearing a Cowboys uniform.

Thats the secret rule book that only the officials and goofsmell knows about.

Still I have some hope - strength is something that comes in so handy on the O line; when you are out of position and off balance sometimes it allows you to get it done anyway.
Frankly we have not drafted enough bulls on our line; we are so stuck on finesse players.

Just run the damn ball!

Hopefully hands on a guy doesn’t mean holding.

Thought we had refs at practices.......

Agree.. you cannot teach the kind of prodigious strength Smith has shown. I will disagree somewhat on your last point though. Both the Smiths have superhuman strength. Martin has that too. Steele may not be Erik Williams as a pass blocker but he was solid to very good in the run game last year, mainly because he is huge and worked last offseason to become a lot stronger to be able to take advantage of that size. Biadasz was known as a mauler in college. He still needs a few rocks in his pocket to handle bigger/better NFL 1 techs but reports are he's put on 15-20 pounds of muscle this offseason. Long story short I think this line will be better equipped to move people off the ball this season. I can't wait to see it.
