I always think it's cool to get a bit of the personality of the guys beyond their ability to play. It helps me distinguish and root for them a little more.
No, you were fine. I was more just commenting and happened to hit reply on your post.
Per U Texas he‘s 6’5” and 300 lbs but RAS website has him at 6’4.3” and 292, with 33.125” arms and 9.375” hands so as the Captain indicates the size is not ideal for a LT. However, RAS is 8.69 which is elite.
What's the bare minimum physical profile for a left tackle?
Mike I thought Anderson plays right tackle?
as long as he doesnt turn into Ras i dowling..Per U Texas he‘s 6’5” and 300 lbs but RAS website has him at 6’4.3” and 292, with 33.125” arms and 9.375” hands so as the Captain indicates the size is not ideal for a LT. However, RAS is 8.69 which is elite.
Also, I couldn’t find a snap count total but in 3 seasons he appeared in 41 games, started 12, and had one (1) penalty, a false start. He’s clearly a smart guy and the penalty number indicates he may play smart too.
i‘m optimistic
None of it's rocket science, otherwise Patricia would have been a good coach.
That’s Ras IR Dowling actually
People seem to forget Dowling fell into the 2nd round because he had a bad knee.
Couldn't disagree more, having played O line in high school I Can tell you it's actually very complicated. Unlike a WR who can get away with I run this route and don't care what anyone else is doing as an Oline man you have to know what the two guys next to you are doing, you have to know what the RB is doing, you have to know the kind of QB you have and where they need to be protected. On top of which you need to be able to process and know your assignment which might switch in a millisecond if that LB you thought was dropping into coverage blitzes. And you need to be able to do it all with near perfect synchronization that rivals ballet. I would in fact argue the biggest difference between an Olineman and a Dlineman is how smart they are. If all you can handle is attack this gap and go you're playing defense.
O,I am convinced. I think that Parcells was just being a wiseacre (he was responding to a dumb question y a reporter) or maybe he was talking about the DL.
So what are you saying? If Trent Brown is unable to play for a significant period of time, we’ll be held together by cat guts and bailing wire?
