However, in like 90% of the clips, it has much more to do with the latter (technique) than the former (arm length).

What I'm noticing from some clips floating around about EDGEs' lack of arm length being a problem is that it's much easier for evaluators to ascribe a player not getting off a block or whatever to arm length rather than to poor hand placement, timing, body positioning, pad level, footwork, etc.

if you're getting mad about a mock draft, I have one suggestion — don't.

And with that, here are my new EDGE ranks with combine testing adjustments. Still can see some movement from these 11 after pro day testing round out their athleticsm scores, but we are getting close to finalizing these ranks!

I'm all for doing things that are better for the environment and lessening our plastic usage, but for gawd's sake, can these grocery stores invest in making quality paper bags that can hold more than 2 items before the handles or bottom break?!?!?!

funnily enough, many Buckeyes peeps would say Reese was the 4th best player on the defense - after Downs, Styles, McDonald

I don't think he's close tbh. He doesn't have the same burst of the LOS, he has a rudimentary, at best, plan. Just relies on speed and power. I'm not saying he couldn't become great. he has the foundation to do so, but he's soooo far away from realizing that imo.

2 reports for the price of 1, as we move along to Ohio State's outstanding off-ball duo of Arvell Reese and Sonny Styles!

JR can be the MIKE, without a doubt imo. PHI used Nakobe Dean there, and he's a similar size/athlete.

Eternity on Apple TV is a real solid flick. My wife and I enjoyed it. We thought Elizabeth Olsen stole the show, great performance.

I hope so but Strickland has really good takedown defense and gets up well but I'm very hopeful for Fluffy

I am super hyped for the UFC fights this weekend. Fluffy is one of my favorite fighters to watch. I hope he dogwalks Strickland and gets a title shot.

I will say one thing about ol lame ass Aerion "Brightflame" Targaryen: Dude has a helluva chin on him. The fact that he didn't go unconscious after sustaining those blows from Dunk gave me real prime Chris Leban/Mark Hunt vibes.
