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?

two different videos where you would expect his bench to be shown and it is not

    • That he gets worse while at the same time getting more exposure is just typical.
    • And, yes, I've been a slow boil, but watching continually watching shitty displays of football for weeks has me frustrated.  
    • Bryce just didn't maximize Hunter Renfrow's skills. ***rant incoming*** But this isn't just about Bryce Young mistiming passes to Renfrow so bad that he's going to get Renfrow killed or hurt, this is also about incompetentence by Dave Canales. Renfrow can still play. He's putting DBs in a blender out there---making them play twister at the top of routes to keep up with him, and dumb Dave has the nerve to cut him. How about putting Hunter in the best position to help the damned offense by appreciating his skill set, DC? You're letting Bryce's apparent inability to make an accurate throw, or at least his timidity to push the ball down the damned field cloud your judgment and miscalculate talent---or maybe just miss on talent just as much as Bryce misses passes due to playing pussified football. It's fúcking unacceptable.  Speaking of misjudgment, I don't know if it's Dan Morgan or Canales, but Eijiro Evero is not the business at DC. I have said a few times that his scheme is not conducive to run-stopping efficiency. Hell, and after watching some clips of plays, now I absolutely know why. The gaps are at least half open before the play even fúcking starts. You are setting the opposition's RBs up for success with too much damned space at the line and in the second level. If our guys are taken out in these areas---at the line and in the second level---then the defense is screwed because it must rely on the safeties to cover too much ground to make the tackle. At least put Ransom in who is motivated to seek and destroy if you're going to effectively leave the safeties on an island.  And speaking of rookies, get our two new defensive ends more snaps to see if we can't generate more of a pass rush. For all the good the continued sorry display of defense that you're putting out for fan's to see (Ejiro, Dave and Dan), you may as well get the rookies generously involved. Fúck that money we gave second-rate (maybe second-rate) vets, we need a damned spark getting after the QB. Watch it, it's just another breakdown of the sh¡t we were subjected to last week. I say this with all respect: Fúck you, Dave! Fúck you, Dan! Learn how to run a fúcking franchise. Maximize the players, regardless of what you think you're supposed to do by the book. Cut the dead weight before another season is lost and fans lose interest in September. EE is "Ew!" Or for emphasis "EEw!" /end rant
