It is what it is. I also forgot he only benched 225 14 times, to boot. He just sounds like a jelly-roll-ass fatboy with no work ethic. Don't forget most people questioned him about his fake hamstring injury during the combine. Point was proven during his proday......but did you see his F tape, whatever the hell that is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDGE **** Big Gap **** Everything else Absolutely. Combine or proday numbers are extremely important for certain positions and I would put edge rusher at #1 overall and would put more importance for defensive players and skill position players. Defensive players have to play a reactive game and RB's and WR's need too turn on a dime. That can all be predicted by the drills that NFL teams have implemented for the combine. I couldn't care less how a QB performs and to a lesser degree Offensive Lineman. It also explains why I can't get one comparison from the posters making their case that Polite can be good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that defensive players need the numbers but OL success also has good correlation with combine performances. Tackles and 40 times in particular are pretty closely tied together.

And I do a ton of OL film breakdowns. For instance check out Edogas numbers. Pedestrian at best unless you're talking about measurables (height, weight, arm length) which is something I put into two separate groups.

Greenseed4 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 The worst thing about this thread is how premature it is. Like all of the premature Gase threads, if this kid actually turns into a player... not only did we have to read all of this premature negative bs, but then we’ll also have to read all of the “ok I was wrong” bs.

They correlate really well with success for OT. The only guy I can think of that’s really an exception is Orlando Brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only guy I can think of that’s really an exception is Orlando Brown. They correlate really well for a small minority. What....maybe 3 or 4 players. Offensive lineman don't need too turn in great numbers. They need to have great feet and a good base or they will fail at the next level. It's not something that is easily measured by a number but is obvious in certain drills. Hence why I don't put as much stock in combine numbers for them as I do for a passrusher or skill position player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, if you actually believe he runs a 4.84 40 you stick with this. If you think they felt the poor showing was because of the hammy and they looked at his production at Fl time will tell who was right. But hey, you know. You saw the numbers and are convinced. So really, i understand, we dont know for sure so lets just cut him now. Makes perfect sense. No one seems to get what we're discussing. no one has said that they think he'll work out or will be a star. Just want to wait until he proves what he is or isnt. The Combine was in March. It's now mid August. We're halfway through the preseason. And he still looks fat and slow. If you actually believe that crap, you stick with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
