oh look, based on what Brockers said, madhatter's full of poo again

What was the thought process behind getting bigger since the season ended?)

I didn’t really plan on gaining weight. It’s just drinking supplements, lifting weights differently pumped me up. I think I put on more muscle mass than anything else.

(How much more weight is that?)

I ended the season 317 and I’m 322 now so just a couple of pounds. Good, solid pounds. The good pounds, not the bad pounds.

Brockers did lift. Put in 19 reps. Not good. I know his arms are long but that's still bad, especially at 322.

I'm loving Poe. 44 reps and is legitimately strong on the field. You'd be surprised to know that he moves extremely well for his size as well. If we trade down, I'd love to get him. Mayock even compared him to Ngata.

Not good, but also nothing to take him out of the top ten on its own. He's got 35 inch arms, and he's doing basically the same amount of reps as most of the guards in this class. He's younger than most, too.

Poe's getting those comparisons based on his athletic ability, not his production. That makes me a little nervous.

I also don't like this argument that he didn't have production. He might not have had numbers, but for DTs (and DTs of his type in particular) numbers usually don't tell the whole story. His production is exemplified by the dominance of the LSU D-line this year, of which he was the anchor. You can say "he didn't have the stats of a top 10 pick" all you want, but I wouldn't say he didn't have the production.

oh, and by "you" I'm speaking generically, not referring to anyone in particular.

And what's up with all the talk of him being 6'5 instead of 6'7 now?? How do you mess that up?

A) I don't recall anyone calling him 6'7, I remember him being listed as 6'6 up until the Combine.

B) The numbers the colleges put out are always all over the place, even if he was listed by LSU at 6'7, a 2 inch difference isn't uncommon.

NFL.com mistakenly listed him as 6'7. Brockers than answered a question in a presser that stated he was 6'5 and the mistake was corrected.

Thank you..It's incredible how hard it is for some of the users on here to just answer a question.

      Some Tet appreciation

      He has a lot to work on for sure but he has been a huge boost to the offense. It's nice to finally have an elite WR.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By strato · Posted

      We have been on that roller coaster ride already. He needs to have streaks far longer than a couple of good games.  People raved about the Green Bay game in 2023. Which was mostly a good 2nd half and hot 4th quarter.  Ask me what happened the next four games, if you don’t remember. or just go look them up. There isn’t much to see.  The end of last year had some good things and one excellent outing, and look up what followed that, which you won’t have to but he came out this year looking like week 1 2023.  Now he is on a game and a half streak, against a bad Miami team and lowest rated defense in the league - at home.  This is the reality in the big picture. He needs to break his pattern, in a positive way.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This "noodle arm" characterization just baffles me. There's way more involved in a successful downfield passing attack than simple air yards. Let's take two stat-lines for throws of 40+ air yards (no YAC) from the last 3 seasons: 5/29 (17%) for 3 TDs and 2 INTs 1/9 (11%) for 1 TD So with three times the number of attempts, you net +6% completion percentage, the same TD rate, and 2 arm punt INTs to boot. The first player is Mahomes, the second is Bryce. Clearly Bryce attempts these throws at a much lower rate, but his success rate is quite similar to one of the most talented downfield throwers of all time. The takeaway isn't that Bryce is Mahomes-lite (if he was his usage rate for these would be much higher) but that these throws by their very nature are extremely difficult, very scheme-specific, and even an elite thrower can have wildly differing success rates season by season. And before we get into the complaints of cherry-picking, this is far more substantial information than the various insinuations that Bryce struggles to even get the ball 20 yards downfield, much less 40+. And the wildest part of this is that every time Mahomes threw a bomb over the last 3 season, 83% of the time the end result was failure, yet many Chiefs fans complain that he isn't taking even more shots downfield.
