March 1, 20196 yr 1 hour ago, NowThis said: he returned the signing bonus IIRC and I don't see anything wrong with avoiding contact, in fact, it's good for the team to avoid injury to the team star. Franco Harris used to run OOB all the time, made the HOF and won 4 Superbowls. He cost them the #10 overall pick my promising them he’d come play and then backing out. That’s worth more to the A’s than him returning the money. The A’s trusted his word and he burned them. 1 hour ago, NowThis said: Charles O will probably be better in the league than at Texas. smh. 1 hour ago, NowThis said: not always, not when he first started. You’re way off base here. He was always a long-term developmental project that would have his best days in the NFL. There’s nothing wrong with that and it has nothing to do with his work ethic. He worked his ass off while here.

I wonder if that's a requirement for testing on bench, or that's just what they prefer Less strain on the shoulder when you keep it narrow. While you ideally would want to work more muscles in training, hitting a high number of reps for the combine would mean you would want to push as efficiently as possible.

Anyway, he was never a lock, developed into a viable NFL player, wasn't really that great in college IMO which is the smh. Easy. Some guys are obvious NFL material from the moment they step on campus, he wasn't.
March 1, 20196 yr Not that familiar, what do folks think about the new S&C guy (Bennie Wylie?) at BlowU.... he was at Texas & Tech before right?? BlowU might see some regression in S&C.... Edited March 1, 20196 yr by LTtxfan can't type

Easy. Some guys are obvious NFL material from the moment they step on campus, he wasn't. He was a developmental prospect that, if he worked hard, would still only do his best as he grew into his body in his early twenties. Nahlin phrased it in an optimistic way. What about this is tough for you? And he was the Big XII DL of the Year, he was pretty solid. Edited March 1, 20196 yr by texifornia
