Don’t think it matters. He’s a first rd pick next year

I like his energy. I’ll leave the fitness critiques to the experts.

I mean it’s CIS, our previous strength coach sucked according to the haters, then immediately won an award for top coach as soon as he left …

Swasey or bust for some here!

The emotional swings from some porsters is really a thing of beauty sometimes. Like watching a young Lion taking down a wounded water buffalo in the Serengeti. And I’m not talking about troll accounts like @fraggle, although he’s entertaining in his own right.

As for Feld, I don’t know. I can’t get past the mustache. I mean unless you’re living in 1885 or you’re Rollie Fingers, you shouldn’t be rocking that thing.

I thought he’d need a year but I liked what I saw . He has great feet for that size. I defended him on the game board when he had his bad moments. At that height leverage was going to be problematic. Occasionally guys would get into his body and would fold him up like Neo in matrix. He’s ahead of schedule though.

Seemed to me he got better as the reps happened

Obviously you can’t teach being 6-9 and with movement like that ***** crazy

I know nothing about playing OL

Actually “nothing” is generous. If you can know less about it than nothing that’s me

But I do know some people that do and the consensus was he would need a year before he was ready but when he was, sky was the limit

So seems he was a bit ahead of schedule there which obviously came with some lumps

He has a lot of potential, he needs to get stronger in his hips, butt, legs, and core so he doesn’t get push back as easy, he needs to do basketball defensive drills to work on his feet. With that and better overall technique he’s a potential first rounder.

He needs to spend even more time doing agility drills and quick twitch exercises (box jumps, ropes, etc). Added strength won't hurt, but the biggest issue he has working against him is his size. 6'9" is awesome on the roster sheet, but 6'5" 260 lb defensive ends with technique destroy him because he struggles to get his hips low and maintain his base and quickness.

I'm not attacking what you said; simply adding a very important piece.

That's correct flexibility and quick twitch exercises will make him a ton of money for when he has to go against those speed rushers
