Low snap count yes. 400 snaps with No sacks or hits is still an eye opener. Pleased we have this kid on our roster. I see good things ahead ..

Jones has a higher floor than Mims due to experience but Mims has a higher ceiling due to better movement skills. If we'd done what I wanted last year and traded down with the Titans instead of picking Murphy, we could have had Jones and TE Darnell Washington from that draft. So we wouldn't have needed a RT in this one and could have taken say Brian Thomas or Quinyon MItchell this year. We'd have had the Titans second rounder this year too which they used on T'Vondre Sweat. I wouldn't have taken him there but there were lots of good players on the board at 37. I'd have been inclined to take Jackson Powers-Johnson there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 Mims now up to 350 pounds at the request of his coaches. Geoff Hobson: SLANTS AND SCREENS: There's nothing like a good first impression and first-rounder Amarius Mims is making one, according to some of his teammates, as he continues to take first-team reps at right tackle while Trent Brown tends to a personal matter. The 6-8 Mims played at 340-345 pounds in college, but he's at 350 pounds now and still looks svelte. "I feel like I'm getting broader," Mims said Tuesday of his upper body. "The coaches like me at 350, so I'll play at 350. I feel good. I'm taking care of my body. I adjusted last week. This week I'm not asking as many questions." Mims impressed at least one vet with his energy. Despite the 87-degree heat, Mims, a Georgia native, bounced around the offensive line drills and at one point dribbled the big exercise balls the linemen use for technique like a basketball as they moved a drill. "This is nothing. This is a step below Georgia heat," Mims said. "I'm fortunate to play the game I love at the highest level possible and still get paid. Why not smile and all that extra stuff?" … 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom line for me is we have an amazing specimen for an OT with upside to be something special.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claptonrocks Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 Our Oline looks much better this season. What Im hoping to see is to pickup another tough vet guard as a backup. Cody Ford is passable but adding another vet better than him would help during the season. Attrition is a huge component to reach the top. NFL cuts should make that happen.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one of the guards were to go down with a significant injury, I wonder if they might move Trent Brown inside? I don't think Brown has played guard before, but he has played both tackle spots for multiple teams. He prides himself on his versatility. I posted this in the Dan Pitcher thread as well, but Brown got off to a tremendous start last season at LT before injuries caught up with him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|BlackJesus| Posted May 25 Author Report Share Posted May 25 Interview with Mims (I hadn't seen yet) where he talks about wanting to keep his body fat near 17%, that he would wrestle a bull, and that he thinks he can take on a large wild hog physically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 Enough about his size, there were bigger players in this draft (Titans got a couple of them) and Jones and Faalele in the AFCN are bigger than Mims. What makes him special are his feet. He can pick them up and put them down very well for a tackle. Jonah was a technician but not a physical speciman. Mims is the latter, let's just hope Pollack can develop him, rather than him having to overcome Pollack's coaching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all kinda weird. Pretty clear that Trent Brown was expecting to be in Cincinnati this week for voluntary OTAs. Otherwise he wouldn't have made the agreement to throw out the first pitch of the baseball game. A week or two ago Geoff Hobson claimed that TBrown was missing OTAs to attend to a "personal matter," So something appears to be going on here other than him just choosing to work out on his own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
