And you could make an argument for guys like Easley or Thigpen
-
laken tomlinson, shaq thompson, or bernard mckinney
Solid. In that order, too
-
Come on prime time!
-
Henderson isn't guarenteed anything either. Another reason a tackle makes sense at 50
-
Pick the most well rounded OL available. A tackle who could play guard preferably. Insurance at tackle and a starter at guard.
-
@mikerodak: Chatted with Aaron Kromer today -- he said he's open to playing Kouandjio at tackle or guard.
Interesting

Best lift is Miller Lite anywhere from 18" to 22" from the desk while reading all the experts talk about what kind is best that they don't do for a living. These trainers do that for a living. Trust in them.
Amen, brother. Nothing wrong with a little discussion though
I don't think you want to ignore the lower body at ANY position... I think though that a strong upper body facilitates good tackling, and helps passrushers shed blockers easily...
This is truly LIMTED thinking... A Coors or Amstel Light would work just as well from the horizontal (couch) position... A 12 pack of Newcastle also makes a good deadlift from the beer case at Albertson's... Trust me. -I'm a pro at this...
So what you're saying is that squats are only acceptable when getting off the couch to get a cold bottle of suds? Love it.
-
As far as isolation vs. full-body, I think it would depend more on the player, and their specific job.. QB's would seem to benefit form full-body workouts... Safties or defensive ends might prefer more developed arms, and upper body to fulfill their purpose...
IMO, it would be fruitless to have a blanket regiment for players regardless of position. -I hope that isn't what's going on.
They probably have position specific workouts. I find it very interesting that you think DE would focus on upper body development.
Most players/positions benefit from lower body explosion
-
Not a fan of pure deadlifting at all... Power clean is ok within reason... I feel better about the fact that you can throw the weight off you in power clean, as opposed getting stuck while squatting, or screwing your lumbar while snatching up 400lbs of dead weight.. Incline is ok... I like the sitting curl for biceps, and the standing leg press for quads, and calves. All of these, IMO, need to supplemented with a coulple days of core, and cardio.. JMO... I'm not tring to give out advice.
Fair enough.
It seems as though the excersises you suggest are all isolation movements. Athletes, especially football players, generally utilize full-body, compound lifts.
-
To me, he sounds like a complete hack... Like the people that gave me bad advice as a young athlete... So many things can go wrong with the back, neck, and knees in a squat that it's not even funny... That's not saying the exercise doesn't have it's benefits.. It's just obvious that squats cannot, and should not be overdone... Ciano said if he was trapped on a desert island, it's the only exercise he'd prefer to do! -That's a peek into Ciano's priorities as a trainer. What about exercises that strengthen the lower back and abdominals??? -The benefits of strenghthening the core FAR outweighs anything gained from doing pure squats. In fact, doing squats with a weak core is the bullet-train to back problems...
Back extensions, Knee extensions, Abs, Glutes all support a sturdy core..... Squatting, IMO, should be kept to a minimum... Just stuff I learned the hard way,
I'm sure Ciano has the supplementing in workouts for their back and core as well. They guys squat the house for sure. I'd be willing to be all 32 teams and most D1 big five schools free squat. Sure, it can be dangerous, but when done properly, is tremendously beneficial.
I disagree about squats. Best lift is the deadlift and for football you want to add a power clean to the end which mimicks you exploding up and blocking someone or running them over
Four core lifts for football IMO:
Power clean
Squat
Dead lift
Incline bench
-
Awesome piece. I'm really interested to see the amount of on line vs H back Clay will play. Is expect 50-50
-
I think lack of a first round pick has deterred people from mocks. But the 50th and 81st picks have been discussed thoroughly in other threads
-
Cool Link... Unfortunately, Ciano sounds like the typical Gym know-it-all that gets people hurt in their workouts.... Squats??? -Are you serious? TERRIBLE for your lower back! -Especially if you don't use a guided machine.... Bad for your knees as well.... No wonder why our guys always look like crap compared to the ripped and buff cheaters of New England..
Seriously, is it just me, or do our key players seem hurt alot, and when the are healthy, they're not as fast, and never strong enough to beat NE... Whatever program Ciano has going does not work. I always suspected the S&C program was misguided, but I wasn't sure of it until hearing this radio segment.
Squat is the most important lift. When done properly, like Ciano was explaining, they are no worse than anything else. He seems very knowledgable about nutrition and excersise. If you think any other team is doing things differently, you're wrong.
-
@BuffaloBillsPR: ICYMI: #Bills Strength & Conditioning Coach Eric Ciano was on @KISS985BUFFALO w/ some insight into offseason workouts http://t.co/eZaObKClJr
Thanks, Yolo.
Real interesting stuff about nutrition. I didn't know anything about the dining room until that listen. 6 pre-weighed meals. Pretty awesome stuff.
-
I don't see Rex letting Gilmore leave, no matter what.
This mock is ridiculous, the bills will not be picking 20th.
They will be picking 32nd.
Thank you, that is all.
-
Well just great, who is going to be the designated OL for the non-football illness list this training camp....
Thanks Cordy.
-
He irritated the crap out of me....because he was a terrific player on a team that I can't stand. Great career!
Yep. I hated all the hype he got too. Outstanding player but he bothered me
-
that's a good point. Not good for the NFL HC resume if you can't/won't develop a young QB. If Roman can do it again...and this team makes the playoffs with EJ as the starting QB... Aaron Kromer could be our new OC next year because Roman will be in the mix for a HC job.
Alex Simth, Colin Kaep, EJ Manuel?
He's done it before. Put your guys in. Position to be successful (unlike cantHackett)
-
This schedule is INsane.
Search function maybe?
-
I disagree. Playoffs or bust.
We've been rolling with it for almost 20 years.
This is the beginning of dominance, last piece of the puzzle.
This window is only open for a short amount of time. We/They need to take advantage of this talent. Our team is stacked!!
Playoffs or Bust.
Imo
So what is your master plan? Roll with Cassel? Is he truely that much better of an option? I think it's hard to pick who is/should be the guy because they'll be playing under a new system on a clean slate. Wait until camp and preseason before we 'waste' a season on someone.
-
"God works in mysterious ways."
I guess anything is possible.
I am not prepared to sacrifice the season to find out.
Imo
There is no guarentee any of the other QBs will be any better. So are you willing to sacrifice the season for Cassel, Taylor or Tuel?
I think the best man should play. That being said, EJ has as much of a chance as being that guy as anyone else. Were going to struggle at the helm all season IMO, and I think I'd rather do it with EJ and know his potential for sure.
-
Tifht end right? The guy from Arizona who they say is a diamond in the rough, underutilized in the past?
If we didn't get Clay I wanted him
Right. More of a receiver than anything. Just a bigger body. A lot of people say he was underutilized by Arians in AZ so it'll be interesting to see if he is an upgrade of Cameron in Cleveland

How does the Le'Veon Bell 3 game suspension affect the ruling on Dareus? Hmmmm.
