Re: Rookie Camp First Impressions
Was not comparing them. Just pointing out he could not get the job done. I realize he was a rookie 7th rounder but he did not look good. The dline was not in great shape most of the year. That is why the team signed Spears and Canty. I just don't think Tyson will play into decision on Cody.

Re: Rookie Camp First Impressions
We lost Kemo and picked up Spears, Canty and Williams. Assuming we aren't adding 2 additional roster spots for the DL, somebody isn't going to make the team. Williams is a lock and I doubt Canty or Spears leaves. Who's out?

ILMAO SOLO - You have a million and one excuses for everything.
You posted Saturday and I counter with Birk who played longer and
was bigger.
After saying Gino was a finesse guy you're saying he's now a mauler
too, so which is it? LOL
Personally, anyone who is a finesse guy at anything is a p*ssy. Gino's muscles
in the pic above is nutten compared to those pics of Brandon Williams-lol.

Re: Rookie Camp First Impressions
Brandon Williams is a monster, no doubt. To be fair compare him to Cody and compare Gino to Birk since he's replacing him. Birk entered the NFL listed at 300 lbs. and left 15 years later listed at 310 lb. Gino's size is similar to Birk's. If he doesn't play well he'll be in danger of being replaced like anyone else. I'll wait to judge Gino based off of his performance.

Re: Rookie Camp First Impressions
I am beginning to hear that Arthur Brown was not that impressive at the rookie camp, and may not start this year. Anyone else hearing the same thing?

Re: Rookie Camp First Impressions
Although we don't run a tried and true 3-4, he's still making a big adjustment fro m Big-12 4-3 D to 3-4 AFC North D. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he doesn't start at the beginning. He's still learning the Defense.
It may be why we still have McClain
Then again it was just rookie mini-camp

Re: Rookie Camp First Impressions
The only negative I heard on Brown so far was some beat writers thought he didn't really look like a big guy for a LB. Which is true, he's pretty small for a LB.

“When I think of a Baltimore Raven - we go in there, we take your lunch box, we take your sandwich, we take your juice box, we take your applesauce, and we take your spork and we break it. And we leave you with an empty lunch. That’s the Baltimore Raven way.” - Steve Smith Sr.
Call me a Special Teams coach again. I dare you! I double dare you, MFer!

The only writer...beat or not that I've read that was somewhat critical is Hensley.
He said that Brown looked small like a RB in camp.
He also said that he is very surprised that we are keeping Rolando McClain and he thinks the reason the team is sticking with him is because they may be thinking Brown won't be ready to start the season and McClain is insurance.

According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.

Re: Rookie Camp First Impressions
There you go...making shit up again. I think you need glasses (among other things...)
When did I ever say Gino was a finesse guy? I'll save you the time because I have never said that. In this thread, leachisabeast claimed that Gino is more of a "finesse blocker" and paintballguy is the one who brought up Jeff Saturday.
If you're going to shit one someone for poking holes in your antiquated *Bigger is Better!* argument, then at least get it right.
Congrats on knowing how big Birk was. However, you're arguing with yourself and frankly you're wrong. Jeff Saturday and Birk were in the 1998 draft, so they both played for 15 seasons (1998-2013). Both were 2-time All Pros, both were 6 time pro-bowlers, both have a SB ring.
The idea that a "big" center is better than a "smaller" center because they're bigger is just flat out stupid. The only thing that I - among others - have stated is that Gino at 6'3" 300-305lbs is not undersized and can still functionally play at a high level as a center. I mentioned Chris Myers and Jason Kelce, who both are two of the better centers in the NFL and are under 300lbs...UNDER 300lbs (Gino is OVER 300lbs). Those two players are proof positive that it can be done. As I said before, it is all about technique. You want to claim that Jensen is a lot stronger, but then you state that he did 30 reps to Gino's 29 reps. WOW. A whopping 1 rep difference. Are you joking? THAT is your baseline? Give me a break dude.
