Yeah, the bench press doesn't measure how well linemen use leverage or those special techniques.

Re: Training camp 2011 thread

The nitpicking on Beck's deep throws are amusing. At least it was only a "slight underthrow" I guess. Plus the dude has a sore arm from all the work so far.

Hopefully he stays on the team this year (active roster, IR, PUP list) and that keeps Royster on the team!

dang, they ain't even full pads yet right? He's now hurting his upper body too! I don't have high hopes for ATV for that reason, depending on his health at the end of camp I could see him being cut again.

Re: Training camp 2011 thread

Any word on how Kerrigans looked making his conversion to 3-4 LB?

I believe he hasn't been practicing because of a knee injury.

According to a source of mine - he's taking mental steps while his knee heals....I still don't think he has enough speed to play OLB in a 3-4...

How much speed do you need? He runs in the 4.6 range.

I personally think the 40 is an overrated stat. I mean for the most part the game is played in 10-20 yard increments; sideline to sideline. I think agility, lateral movement, burst off the ball. Those things are just as important, if not moreso, than running the 40 in a straight line.

Kerrigans speed alone is the only thing that worries me as well...
I'm sure Shanny took that into consideration though.

A 4.71 average time is slow?
