Brockers didn't even actually participate in bench press...

from the above linked article...

What is also being disputed is Brockers forty yard dash, which was posted as a 5.36 while 3 teams reportedly clocked him in the 5.08-5.19 range in the event.

One more puzzling aspect of this particular prospect's posted information is the fact that Michael Brockers has never measured in at less than 6′5″½ and he was somehow registered at a posted 6050 or 6′5″ even. Something that is certain to be dispelled at LSU's pro day on the 22nd of March.

something is screwy here.

Seriously. The Brockers camp is disputing pretty much everything about the Combine.

I have no idea what to make of this.

Well once you declare, you're on your way. Going to be a lot of eyes on his Pro Day. It's like they want to completely discredit any conclusions drawn from the Combine. Hard to believe the NFL was so sloppy, but who knows? When these players come out early now and their stock falls it can be a bigger financial hit than it used to be. Sounds like they are going to have to prove it all on the Pro Day to keep him in the 1st round.

I think that his camp are making excuses for him because Poe had such a good day, and now Brokers isnt the #1 consensus anymore.

I dont like the excuses. He had his chance to lift, but chose not to do it. Teams got blown away by what Poe did, and now he wishes he would have gave it a shot.

Also, why didnt he lift? He is either scared that he wouldnt perform at the level that everyone thought he would, or he is injured. Either - or, it is bad news.

i was wondering how it could be spun negatively on brockers.

thanks for showing how.

I just don't understand how it could be thrown out he did 19 and didn't participate. How does that even happen?

    • It's worth noting that we started playing something that looked like football after going down 17-0 against the Dolphins.  Up to that point we had rushed the ball 3 times and Bryce had two turnovers.   Then we ran it 5 straight times with Rico and he started cracking off some big gains and led to our first touchdown.  Another 37 yards of rushing later, Bryce goes 1 yard complete, incomplete, incomplete to get that field goal before halftime.  Then we committed big time to the run in the second half and played some really nice complimentary football.  The Panthers had stumbled on a formula, and it started with Rico being crazy productive.  Something they only learned because Chubba was injured and Bryce started that game so poorly they were forced to lean on Rico. Fast foward to Dallas, they essentially lean into the same game plan against the Cowboys and I think everyone was surprised by how quickly it started to look complimentary.  In my opinion the productive offense really helped the defense as well.  We played quite solid against a top offense. Finally we make our way to the Jets and Bills, Chubba's return.  You can't say the low scoring affair and return to ineffective football against the Jets was all on Chubba, they were indeed a better defense and so was Buffalo.  But the production difference between the two backs in both games was both visually and statistically obvious.  The bigger picture is the offense took a major step back as well.  They are other moving parts and it's isn't all one thing, BY9>Dalton by a decent margin at this point.   But yeah, Rico's vision and athleticism is just better than Chubba and it jumps at you.
    • First day in 3 weeks my pain started to dwindle just a tiny bit.  Got switched from hydrocodone to post-shingles pain patches.  My insurance refused to pay for my patches as I’m too young for shingles per them.  I also need a prescription to get shingles shot and insurance also won’t pay for it even thought I just had shingles and in high risk to get it again.
