Jordan Gross talks arm length (Rhule is full of poo)

[Zod]

This isn't difficult to understand.

 

[Anybodyhome]

Coaching staff is really reaching for answers now, eh?

[LinvilleGorge]

Yep, basically just common sense. Sure, you'd ideally prefer an OT with Go Go Gadget arms but I'll take an OT with elite feet and agility and a little shorter arms than the guy with long ass arms and nothing else (see: Little, Greg). Just like you'd love your WRs to be 6'2"+ but you aren't gonna turn down a Smitty just because he's not. 

[BrianS]

Arm length doesn't matter if you can't stay in front of your man.  I'm looking at you Dennis Daley.

[Khyber53]

Your arms are at their weakest fully extended anyway. 

Besides, arms a yard long won't help if you have feet of cinderblocks and no ability to out think the pass rusher. Please see Daley, et al. 

And technique is king above all -- and that's where coaches come in. 

Oh yeah, coaching. 

[Mr. Scot]

This is the kind of stuff coaches rely on when they don't know what they're doing.

[Harbingers]

I am so over Rhule.

[chknwing]

So... Jordan Gross is the next head coach of the Panthers?  

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

Rhule dumb as fug. Remember when we tried playing Kuechly as WLB for his first couple of games? Then the staff said nah he's a MLB for sure and moved him? Rhule would have left him to be WLB because he's dumber than rocks. 0 IQ coach.

That’s the thing, Rhule is always saying a LT’s arms are going to be fully extended. That’s why that extra inch and a quarter “matters”, because maybe they won’t be “fully” extended. But an LT with none of the other assets mentioned is going to get beat every single time.
 

It’s not a perfect world for LT’s, just sticking your arms out every play and moving a little to the left aren’t gonna defend these highly skilled DE/EDGE OLB’s.

Hell, let’s give Rhule the benefit of the doubt, Maybe Christensen isn’t ready to start at LT this year, needs to perfect the scheme and technique for a while longer. Than say that, don’t just say, “OMG his arms are too short”.

Hey Ruhle why don’t you chew on a turd pal 

[SmokinwithWilly]

Arm length helps when you need to carry file boxes out of the office cuz you got fired.

Honestly, that’s be like Rod coaching the Canes. Bring Luke in as the LB coach and groom him for DC. Get a real QB OC guru that’s tried and tested. I’m down for it.
