kdubdub Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 I am just lounging around, watching the combine and the O'Linemen are on. Blalock from TX is going to be a beast (if life was based on a 20 yrd shuttle and bench press). It is just amazing to see people put 225 up and down like that. He probably did the first 30 reps in about 30 seconds...amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akiliMVP Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Greg Olsen just ran a 4.4.... at 6'5 254lbs.... And did 23 reps on the bench. On the flip side, Zach Miller ran a 4.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalInPa Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Joe Thomas bombed out on the bench, only putting up 225, 29 times... Hmm, I say only because a few other Olineman put up 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll take his assigned man out and then go down field and hit somebody else plus he's smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, I say only because a few other Olineman put up 40.[/quote] Not sure I'd say "bombed" at 29 - it's above average, but not great. Typically, you don't see guys that are really tall who lift the bar as much as the shorter, inside guys do. I remember Levi Jones did 28 or 29 at the Combine, and Levi Brown of Penn State, another highly-rated tackle this year, did 31 reps. More often, you see Guards ripping off 35+ reps -- like this year, with Blalock and Ramirez, having 40 each. A few years ago, the G from Brigham Young (whose last name was Young, interestingly) did 42 reps, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalInPa Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Patmo, I see him play many times, I just don't believe all the hype that they are putting out on this guy, they did the same for Roberrt Gallery and we all know how well he's doing, the same was said about Leonard Davis of Arizona.. And to be honest, the highlite reel that they keep showing is of him, man handling Dan Connor, an undersized LB from Penn State, in the mold of Caleb Miller. Time will tell, but for me 29 is so so, The Kalil kid from USC also did 40...... Times are a changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scharm Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 I think the guy from Hawaii the bengals were reported interviewing almost got into a fight during the mirror drill. USC Center looks pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_B Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 I know this is a Oline thread, but keep an eye on the TE from Whitworth, Michael Allan. He put up good numbers and is from a small school, he might be a good pick in the 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalInPa Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 I keep hearing alot abot the linebacker from Ole Miss that played next to Willis, he came out early but reportedly runs a 4.45 40, at 239 lbs. Could be a late round sleeper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Spaeth or Patrick are there, I would take one of them first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texbengal Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Ben Patrick looked impressive to me. Other than Allan and Olsen, the TEs didn't run particularly well, but he looks cut and athletic. Scott Chandler didn't run real well, but he's a good pass catcher at 6-7, 270. He looks lean at that size. Interesting that during the TE drills, Jon Hayes (Bengals TE coach) was leading some of them. I've watched the Combine since it's been on NFL Network, and I don't recall seeing that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal.BengalFan Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Thomas is a way better prospect then Gallery or Davis were .He is younger then both of them were as seniors and quicker then both of them . Wisconsin used him as a DE last year because he was that athletic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Garret Wolfe put up 22 reps. The top RB did 28. He may be durable enough to play in the NFL. Depending on Chris Perry's health and the status of Watson, he may be worth taking in 4 or 5 (depending on who else is there in 4). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid didn't play against a lot of top talent, but he looked just fine against OSU. As a late round pick, he'd have a ton of the proverbial upside everyone is looking for in a late round pick...
