    Brock is good nothing wrong but one area he needs to improve is throwing long passes to WRs.

    If I were Coach Bohl I would take the QB and WRs and make them stay in the same house, just so that their communication improves. Right now he is just good with Ryan Smith.

    This is what they do in soccer few weeks before the World Cup the coaches take their strikers and put them in the same room just to improve the understanding between them.

    Last time I checked, there are two tackle spots on offense and only 1 QB. Answer Guy, can you confirm this?

    If Answer Guy can confirm this is the case, Turner is rated higher at his position.

    I'm pretty sure Brock is roommates with Smith and Gebhart.

    I am so sick of the Bison already. Win this, win that, blah, blah, blah. I'd really, really like to know how they do it. I swear they have to be the luckiest sob's on the planet. Just sick of this bs, just fed up.

    A really good article in this months SI magazine about the draft and in particular, the body types the NFL is looking for in DL and OL.

    They are looking for less girth and weight than before because of the new offenses coming into the league but they also want guys who are used to a physical style of football and can run. So, LT like Luke Joeckel from TAMU, Eric Fisher from Central Michigan, Calvin Terron from Arkansas Pine-Bluff and Lane Johnson from Oklahoma are the top four in this years draft. All are 6'5"-6'7" and 306-310, right in Billy Turner's range. All of these guys run sub 5.0 40 yd dashes, I don't know what Billy runs, however.

    The other thing they are looking for are LT in that size range that played for running teams and are used to being in three point stances. Many of the college OL today come from spread offense systems and spend too much time in a two point stance, and the conversion for them to the NFL has proven difficult because the blocking schemes are "too simplistic" and they are not technically trained since they only have to "get in the way" instead of actually block.

    One could envision Billy rising higher if he has a good senior year and a good combine.
