    Have we always gotten verbals so early in the year or is this due to our success?

    Sorry man, I was just trying to deemphasize the importance of bench-press stats.

    Love the physicality of play by this kid. Keeps on blocking thru til the whistle. Watch from 18 to 24 seconds into his video, knocks over his guy and then two others that fall like a bunch of bowling pins.
    For O-lineman bench press is overrated as leg strength, quickness and footwork are most important along with a mean attitude. Doesn't hurt to have big numbers on the bench, but that isn't everything. I believe Billy Turner only did 24 reps at 225lbs during combine. 30 reps for lineman going into the NFL is quite common. Heck, up until a few years ago I could do 20 reps bench press at 225lb.

    Seriously though, I am way more interested in the numbers for the snatch, clean & jerk, and clean of our recruits and current players over the bench and squat. Bench & squat don't translate as well to the athleticism required on the field...they are obviously not completely useless, but are ancillary exercises when compared to the Olympic lifts. You mentioned "leg strength, quickness, and footwork" in a prior post -- there is a strong correlation of developing that by focusing on the Oly lifts. Olympic lifters have ridiculous explosiveness, agility, and quickness.
