Tiny Trump hands, below average arm, not mobile, comes from bs college offense where he just throws bombs to wide open receivers. He's a 2nd-3rd round pick, too many questions marks. Someone will be dumb enough to pick him late 1st early 2nd

bust?

all that's left is a failed drug test

Barkley looks phenomenal. The Browns are going to be tempted to take him at #1.

Sounds good! I wish we had someone knowledgeable in high school teaching us the correct form and lifts so you are doing a great thing for those kids. In my day it was just a free for all and I'm lucky I didn't get injured back then. We would just keep going higher and higher on bench and squat without much attention to the accessory movements and supporting muscle development. Not to mention our form and mobility was probably trash. The coaches encouraged it by hosting a "lift-a-thon" to test us which was basically a powerlifting meet. So we were always chasing those numbers and it was the wrong approach

Im going to guess he doesn't need surgery. He's a big thick guy and he was only benching 225. If it was a skinnier guy benching twice his weight for instance I think it would do way more damage. The guys I know that have had bad tears did it with high weight low reps

not from what I have seen but they met with all of the other QB's at the senior bowl so maybe they met with him too and it just wasn't reported

Wow great news that it was minor. He must have just a slight tear. Lucky for him. It could have been much worse. It's the worst sound in the world when it tears. It sounds like velcro ripping apart and you are like what the heck is that? Was that me? When it's real bad you can usually tell because it fills up with blood and swells up like crazy. I was going to post a pic but if you want to be grossed out you can google it yourself.

Same situation I had. Inconclusive MRI. Went to get 3 opinions. 1 Dr said just let it heal on its own, you will lose some strength but the accessory muscles will help with that. Another Dr said the only way to fully recover is surgery and you have to do it fast because after a week or two the tendons die off and retract and the muscle tissue scabs over. The last Dr said it could go either way and maybe I should take up jogging instead. So I had the surgery and they got in there and saw there was nothing they were able to fix but the sheer act of cutting you open and poking around does a lot of damage on its own. So essentially my outcome was extended time off because of surgery minus the benefits of being fully healed so I would have been better off not having the surgery at all. He will have the same decision to make. Tough call because his livelihood revolves around pushing 300 pound DT day in and day out. I'll be curious to hear what they decide to do

@dollars 2 donuts Thanks, just passing along some life experience because I hate seeing kids get hurt like this. Its completely unnecessary. There's other exercises to get big and strong and test strength that are much safer. If that other guy doesn't want to hear it that's fine but the fact is people are getting hurt and this is just another example. This rookie just lost millions and it's absolutely ridiculous and unfair to him to use such archaic testing procedures and put these kids at risk, especially so close to finally being able to cash in on all of their hard work. Change is needed.

He meant to say incline. Its not one subjective event, it's highly researched and a well known fact that flat barbell bench is not safe and if I help 1 person from what I went through then I'm happy. I wish I had known more about it at the time but as a competitive power lifter it's one of the 3 main lifts you focus on. Maybe you won't push enough weight to have your pec tear in half but come back in 10 yrs after you have your rotator cuff surgery and tell us how much you love to barbell bench press. People in the industry don't focus on flat barbell bench for a number of reasons but for some reason it's the most popular exercise for the bros at the local gym. If it's because of a lack of awareness then I'll do what I can to help get the word out. Thanks.

Jackson's mechanics are horrible and it leads to poor accuracy but someone will still take him because he's a playmaker and he's at least going to be as good as Tyrod for super cheap. I'm looking forward to the 40. They said he might run a 4.4 which would be blazing fast for a QB. Vick ran it in 4.25 which is absolutely nuts. RG3 did it in 4.41

It depends on how severe. It can vary. If it's just a slight tear he could let it rest for 2-3 months then do rehab on it to try to build strength around the supporting muscles (shoulders, back) but he will never be 100% on that particular muscle and it's hard to say how much he can recover. But you can use other muscles to help push so it's not a total loss. Having surgery there is a higher likelihood of recovery and I'm sure he will have the best doctors to advise him. If they do the surgery and anchor it with bolts that's 6 months and it's kind of hard to work out and stay in shape when you only have 1 arm so that would really hurt his chances of starting as a rookie. I don't play sports for a living so it's hard to say how much of an impact it will have on his career but as a civilian I just avoid things that would aggravate it. #1 on the list is no more barbell bench pressing!

First off that's pretty rude. I had a pretty bad injury and your response is I don't know what I'm talking about? I've lived it, i know far too much. I have the scar to prove it. Secondly what do you bench on barbell flat bench? When you get over 400 let me know and then let me know how many times you tear your pec after that trying for more. It's not a safe exercise. Your natural motion isn't to be locked on to a straight bar like that. Dumbbell incline is better for pec development. The only people that focus on flat barbell bench are powerlifters, gym bros, and apparently NFL rookies.

Depending on how bad it is he could be out for the season. It ended Manny Lawson's career. There's a full tear where the pec severs from your arm bone and they re-attach it with bolts. That's sometimes better as gruesome as it sounds. Or there is a partial tear where it eventually heals but you are never 100% again but maybe you can get back to 80-90% with rehab. It also depends on where it ruptures. In the muscle belly is bad and can leave you deformed for life. You can't sew muscle back together, it's like meat, the threads won't hold. It's a bad injury if it's severe. If it's a slight rip that is ok and it happens to power lifters often and they come back from it eventually. We will have to wait and see

As some of you may know I had the same injury last year. Barbell flat bench is a dirty tramp. Stay away. If you workout, do dumbbell incline and fly's instead. They need to stop making guys do flat bench at the combine. It's an injury waiting to happen. There's other things you can do to test strength like pushing the sled. Maybe hook up some sensors and bring the combine into the 21st century. The only thing flat bench for reps tests is how often you focus on flat bench for reps in the weight room.

Overrated and now overpaid. I'm fine going with who we have and adding a speed guy to the mix. Keep your eye on the 40 yard dash on Saturday.

Yep, Rosen at pick 2 but hopefully the relationship with Gettleman gets it done for less. Both 1sts, a 2nd, Glenn, maybe a 2nd next year and then have a whole year to figure out who to trade to get it back

Yep it's crazy. Kiper didn't even have Rosen in the top 10 picks. He's an idiot

We beat the Rams. Rams weren't any better off than us. They added all of those receivers AFTER they already had their QB. It was a 2 year process to get to where they are now. Put Goff and those receivers on our team and give them Tyrod and we beat them easy. There's no way you can look at the Rams roster and think they have it all figured out. They just added a franchise QB and that's the difference

Rosen is everyone's #1 so how is he 2, 3, 4 on the draft board? Good value, go get him

Sammy will be the hottest WR on the market now that Landry is franchised. Someone will overpay. They would be paying for his potential. He has never lived up to expectations imo

I'm guessing he wouldn't be a good fit for the Last Vegas Raiders

All of them. I'd start any of them over Tyrod or Peterman. But Rosen will be in the pro bowl in his 2nd season and Lamar Jackson might be in discussion for rookie of the year (but he will never improve after that). They just need to target one and get their favorite no matter what the cost. If they like Lamar Jackson, fine, I think he sucks but he will just as good if not better than Tyrod so trade up and make sure you get him. Same with Rosen, Darnold, Allen, Mayfield. All of them better than what we have. No chance any of them are available at 21 so make your move!

Whaley lost his job the day he traded 2x firsts for Sammy Watkins
