Why don't they check the measurable that really count?  How many cock push ups can he do?? That determines who will be the best running back.

No, situps.......situps is what really counts. Just ask TO.

If you had a legitimate bone to pick by watching film I'd have no problem with it but thinking a lack of a few bench press reps negates the ability to be a great football player is just a terrible hypothesis.

Bench press for a RB is about as important as a 40 for OL and Punters

Really only ones you want to look at press is OL and interior DL. Can show power in punch on blocks and bullrushing

I'm sorry but Dalvin is can't miss. He's going to end up back with Jameis at Tampa. This could be prevented.

LOL at saying anyone is a can't miss much less Dalvin Cook

Regardless of what anyone thinks of Cook as a runner, one thing to keep in mind is that Gettleman constantly talks about RBs needing to be able to pass protect. Yet, some people think we're going to take a guy who can't pass protect at all at #8 overall?

I'm assuming you're talking about Fournette? B/c he whiffs on all blocks. Also, i'm still not seeing his bench press video. It's the fact that he skipped it altogether.

But missed the Dalvin highlight of him taking to the house running with his arms.

This is quite the hilarious thread.  Cook is indeed helping himself with his combine performance so far.  NFL games aren't won or lose because of the direct results of the "Underwear Olympics." 

Plenty of Top running backs in NFL history didn't do the bench press didn't mean $h1T.

Adrian Peterson didn't bench

Zeke Elliot didn't bench

Deonta Freeman didn't bench

Lamar Miller didn't bench

Jamaal Charles didnt

Chris Johnson...

you get my point and that is just the past 6-8 years. and left off plenty.

Hahahahah

Sorry, but hahahahahahaha

Some people need to go back and watch some FSU Games, Eveeeery down not just the few big highlights. Watch the whole scheme of things, the OL etc.

Take away FSU's OL and Cook wouldnt even be mentioned in the top 20.

Fantastic straight linespeed. His change of direction hasnt even been all up to what the hype. Go watch when he has to cut change directions etc. That said 4.3 speed deosnt help much and people catch up real fast. Now when those FSU OL set up some massive holes like Dallas makes (so big Fua can romp through) he uses that straight line burners to take it for a big gain. 3-4 of those a game and his stats look fantastic. He's not going to be able to break big tackles from NFL DL or LBs.
His pass catching is one of the best out there by a running back to come out in awhile. But if you've watched the Panthers before.
When the Fug do we throw to the RBs. Rivera Shula and the gang love power smash mouth runners, think there was a stat awhile back our RBs were targeted last or bottom 3 in the NFL in the passing game. So why in the flipping Fug would we want a guy who his big thing is he can catch the ball out of the backfield better than anyone.
Ill take the 240 pound between the tackles physical freak.
Calling him over rated etc because his injuries.
AP and Gurley say hi, AP played in just as many college games and Gurley played less

The Cook vs Fournette is like arguing Gurley vs Gordan the other year. And most everyone would take Gurley for our offense

Cook is like DeAngelo Williams with hands. He will likely be a good back but I don't see him being great. Fournette has the potential to be the GOAT, so if both are available you take Fournette because his ceiling is just so much higher.

That's dumb as crap. Both are great talents. 

 

However, we are going Jamal Adams or Solomon Thomas. Adams is my guy but I put my money on Thomas.

Was I the only one waiting for Cook to breathe during his reps?

lol if only bench presses put up points

Dalvin Cook is going to be a washed up/one trick pony has-been in less than 6 years in the NFL.

Cook has all the skill sets to be a great back. Don't be a Fournette cockjock.

No true, bench press shows upper body strength. Things you need to keep the ball in place in the NFL.

Yea he is skipping a bunch of stuff and it has red flag all over it. He may be great but he is not helping himself.

Yea 10 years ago I would agree. If Cook can pass block and not fumble he,will be better than Fournette because of his skill set. Fournette is a safer bet though.
