Amobi Okoye

ViLmAfAn5128 · 02-26-2007, 03:41 PM

did 42 bench reps......

Jesus christ

He decided not to do the 40 yard dash at the NFL combine

**EDITED***

It was Tank Tyler, sorry, amobi only did 29

Well Amobi is 19-years-old, so give him a few years and he'll probably do 40+

Tank may have moved back into the first round with that showing then.

his attitude problems might keep him into early second round. If he improves his attitude i would LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE to see him in Green and White. He would be a great fit at NT. He's big and strong. He's one of the strongest guys to come out in years, period. And he'll be one of the strongest guys in the league (Note: Larry Allen dubbed strongest man in the league did 45 reps at the pro bowl). You bring him in to play NT and move D-Rob to DE and we have an excellent 3-4 Line. Which will in turn improve the play of our linebackers, namely vilma.

I wish it was that easy for a player to improve their work ethic and attitude... But it isn't...

Plus, he's not that big of a guy, 6-2 305.

Agree on point A but point B needs to be fixed. Size isn't all that useful if he is just a fat slob, he needs to have strength and leverage as well as size which I think Tank demonstrated on this test.

Thank you, we all have to be honest, when we are looking on a Draft website, and they list Defensive tackles and we look at their weights, we automatically click on the one with the highest weight, which is definetly a bad habit, if a guy is just big, that won't just automatically put him in canton.

perfect example: Flozell Adams, 400 pounds, and he is a waste of every pound on his body

I do agree with you, but Adams is only 340 pounds, and he was one of the elite LT's in his prime (and Adams/Allen was one of the best left-sides of the line in football for a while), but due to injuries just broke down sooner then most. Just wanted to fix that.

yeah, thanks for that.

A good Nose Tackle needs to have good size AND great strength. I posted two guys with ideal size. I hope to find out how they worked out with their bench presses... Even though thats not the only measure of strength.
