Danand Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Edit: In short, one of the strongest guys I ever played with, who tossed olines and tight ends around for 4 quarters took at really low number of 225 lbs bench presses, simply because he rarely did it and focused on other stuff.

Mancunian Raven Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 What, exactly, has Orlando Brown focused on? He doesn't have that rep strength? Fine. But he's also slow and his technique is terrible. He even ran out of steam just then, as the rabbit for the mirror drill. I don't care how big and strong he is, he looks like a massive project for whatever NFL team takes him.

And his game tape shows a guy who has no technique, but just uses strength to overwhelm college Defensive Ends. His combine performance is just reconfirming that.

berlin calling Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 maybe he just doesn't give a f* about testing well at the combine which also isn't the greatest impression to give... or maybe he really is just a poor athlete all around. i mean, 5.8? his grandma could give him a run.

DreamKid Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 Anyone else catch Jay Gruden take a shot at John Harbaugh?, still mad John ran up on him. Also John out there saying he would drop the best 40 time of all coaches and calling out Tomlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was during a bit where they had multiple coaches talking about their 40 times. So you had Andy Reid and Marrone making jokes etc etc, but yea Jay Gruden said "John just loves himself" after Harbaugh said he would be the fastest.

Getting Terrance Cody feelings right now I've not been keen on him at all, throughout this process. Big and strong just isn't enough to cut it in the NFL. A lineman needs to be in that sweet spot of strength/athleticism/technique, which is why they're so hard to find. Lacking in one is something you can live with, but Brown seems to lack in both athleticism and technique. I don't think he can live on the outside in the NFL, and his high stance, lack of technique and sheer size would make it really difficult to make it inside too. Now... someone like Will Hernandez? Sign me up. That guy looks like he'll be a beast of a Guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's more than fair to be concerned when a guy seemingly put little effort into training for the most important fitness test of his life.

berlin calling Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 i am all for strengthening the IOL as stated several times, we absolutely need a potential pro bowler to anchor the line after Yandas retirement which is not that far away. just don't wanna hear that "Ravens are good at developing late round talent" blabla. sure they do, but you need some top talent to lead and gel the unit.
