5 Offensive Tackles On The Rise

The most important measurable for Offensive Tackles in the NFL Combine, in my opinion, is the shuttle drill. This drill incorporates getting out of the 3 point stance, lateral movement, and pivoting. All things that translate well at their position. 40 yard dash and bench press... not so much. If you want to get a glimpse of what these kids can do physically that translated to the NFL, watch the shuttle. 
 
Here are the top 5 shuttle performers from the combine....
 
Jake Fisher - Oregon - 4.33 seconds
T.J. Clemmings - Pittsburgh - 4.54 seconds
Laurence Gibson - Virginia Tech - 4.56 seconds
Ty Sambrailo Colorado State - 4.58 seconds
Rob Crisp - NC State - 4.6 seconds
 
(As a reference, Byron Bell's shuttle time was 4.76)
 
There are two guys here I think the Carolina Panthers may target. 
 
Jake Fisher nailed this drill, demolishing everyone else. You may remember that I talked up Jake Fisher last month as a guy I would like to see the Panthers target. At the time he looked to be about a 3rd round pick. He may move up now in to the late second round, exactly where the Panthers will be picking. This would allow the Panthers to possibly pick up another weapon for Cam Newton in round 1 of the draft. 
 
Rob Crisp is another guy to keep an eye on. I first noticed him in the NC State v Florida St game this year. This kid is flying completely under the radar. He is 6'7 with a 34.5 inch arm length. For him to perform that well in the shuttle at his height is pretty remarkable. Before the combine he was looking like a UDFA... he may be drafted now. The Panthers could spend a seventh rounder on him, and I would be happy if they did.

Fisher looks like he is could end up being a very good NFL OT. Experience playing with a mobile QB too. I like the guy but I don't know if he's gonna be around when we pick. Hope Shaq, Gurley or Fisher is around when we pick.

Something else too - I saw your post about how you love linemen with pedigrees from big time schools ike Ohio State, USC, Bama etc...I don't agree with you a lot but man you are 100% on the money about that. Those guys are the real deal and much more NFL ready than some "mauler" from Valdosta State.

Lots of guys are "hot" this week.

 

Once the coaches go back and watch the tape, they will know whether or not Fisher and Collins will be G's are T's.

 

Clemmings and Sambrillo might start at G and then move to RT and then possibly to LT.  With our emphasis on running, not sure Fisher can hold down our LT or not.

 

Either way, this is an awesome time of the year, with FA starting in a couple weeks.

 

I think our first will be best served by getting a S or WR, 2nd round and on is where we will find our Uglies

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By LegioX · Posted

      Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
