Dolphins Mini Camp

The combine drills aren't completely useless. Game film and one on one interviews are probably more important when its all said and done. Combine drills help fill in the information gaps but obviously can't replicate game like scenarios

I agree but I mean to put every player thru the same drills is just stupid IMO. I can see 40 times for the skill positions but a lineman? Seriously, like a freaky 40 time means a guy who can't hold a block is somehow better then a slug who can??

Apparently the talent recruiters have a ridiculous vision of a 300 pounder running stride for stride with an nfl back who runs a sub 4.4. It's called the sprinting pulling guard

O-linemen do at least one separate drill, any scout worth his weight in dirt won't get fixated on a 40 time. The way I see it, measurables help out small school players because scouts naturally think the small school guys can't move as fast. I think you and me are on the same page about combine drills, they can be the ultimate deceiver.

I remember that. Apparently since then the talent evaluation people would rather sacrifice playing skills for a once every 10 years type play

For some reason there are guys that can run like a gazelle, jump like a deer, and grab a bar and move immense amounts of weight but can't translate it to an actual sport. Then guys like Jerry Rice run a slow 40 and have "game speed".

Brock is also at the 8 second mark.

Dolphins had their second OTA today; one mention of Billy, in on the second team at LG, no mention of Brock:

Again, please understand the Dolphins split the field and I can't be in two placed at one time. I usually watch the starters & second team.
