He's pretty damn lean. Looks like he could actually use some fat. Mingo looks like he played at a weight of 230. If he can bulk up to 250, I think he could withstand the toll of the trenches. I agree with this. If he can add functional strength with his weight, I would be much more encouraged. His lack of overall strength is what scares me the most. Its something that can be fixed with NFL training and staff, but whats hard is for it to show up on Sundays. If we drafted him, I would have hope, but its definitely not given (his ability to add strength and weight).
You are using reverse logic. Maybe there is a reason why no one in the NFL plays the Jimmy Johnson 4-3; because it is an idiotic system that calls for someone too small to play LE. Ever think of that?
How many more facts can you make up? Mike Vrabel is OSU single season (13) and career (36) sack leader. Gholston didn't even set the single game record. So you are either full of shit or as completely ignorant as you claim you are! Www.Buckeyefansonly.com/records.html
Wow, that wasn't very nice, especially considering you're wrong. Gholston broke Vrabels record in 2007.
I thought the "F" in NFL stood for football. The only time Mingo outperformed Jones was when they were NOT playing football. This is not like the Joekel/Fisher debate. They went against the same level of competition in the SEC. One produced while the other did not. It's a much easier comparison.
That's what good pass rushers do; they close the deal. After years of watching our LBs and DEs being unable to get sacks under any circumstances, wouldn't you want a guy who you know at the very least can get there when the opportunity presents itself.
He also has a couple of inches on Jones so 5 pounds lighter is a bigger difference than it looks. I can't help but to get the Maybin vibe from Mingo.
Trust me, I get it too, but if Rex loves Mingo I will have faith in the pick. Mingo is a clean slate for Rex to work with, with unlimited upside. He's not my ideal pick by any means, I could probably think of 7 realistic players I would rather take. But then again, not many of these passrushers are my ideal choices (other than Jordan) because they all have flaws.
So the OSU website link I provided is wrong? Ohio St doesn't know who their own record holders are? I can only go by what is listed on their websites. I have no issues admitting I'm wrong when proof is provided. I just ask you not to use a site that anyone can access and change the content like Wiki. BTW I have a habit of responding in kind. Someone is polite to me, I am polite back. Someone is insulting, I insult back. If you're going to call someone on their insults, please be consistant.
No, good pass rushers can beat an offensive linemen and create a sack. An opportunistic defense is what creates sacks off of breakdowns. His sacks come when someone else screws up or someone else forces the QB to escape the pocket and he eventually gets there 5 seconds later.
Please. Don't go around claiming people are making things up and calling them ignorant when you don't know what you're talking about and just use the first result from google as gospel when looking for information. FTR, while wikipedia can be modified it is also monitored and is likely to be far more accurate than some fan site that isn't well maintained. Inaccurate user modifications are generally fixed very quickly (within hours or a day). I am not doing your research for you. The facts are easy to find on legit websites if you care to look.
