Josh LeRibeus pick 3.8

I know basically nothing about him which must mean he sucks and if you disagree with me well then I guess I'm just not good enough for this board and I'm gonna go crying like a little bitch elsewhere

Ok JB. Lmao

I wonder if this means Kory L is questionable...

I think it means that they saw a very good line at the start of the season devolve into a mash unit through injuries and a stupid stupid STUPID suspension.

At this point I think they still plan to make it TW-KL-WM-CC-JB. However they don't want it to be like last year when the entire left side went down for one reason or another as well as the loss of Brown for 4 games at RT. All three of these guys are not only potential starters down the line but they will also minimize the impact of loosing any starters (save Trent at LT) like we had last year.

Notes:
Last name is pronounced “luh-REE-bus.” The Texas prep made six pancake blocks per game as a senior. Redshirted in 2007. Saw action in 10 games in ’08, making starts at right guard against Texas State and Memphis. In ’09, he started all 13 contests at left guard for a team that set the school record with 5,093 yards of total offense. Was ruled academically ineligible for the ’10 season and worked on the scout team. Lost 70 pounds between December of 2010 and the end of spring practice in ’11 and made all 13 starts at left guard in the fall.

Positives:
Functional run blocker — gets in the way and works to position and sustain. Good weight-room strength and 20-yard short-shuttle time (4.67 seconds). Tough competitor.

Negatives:
Stiff, try-hard, limited athlete. Is tightly wound. Plodder. Has a dumpy-looking physique. Appears stiff in space. Struggles to adjust to movement in pass protection. Hand use is inconsistent — shows little pop or power in his hands. Not explosive.

Summary:
Tough, competitive, try-hard, bump-and-steer blocker with potential to be tried as a center. Emerged with a solid senior season and has a chance to develop.

Negatives: has a dumpy-looking physique. LOL!! Most O-lineman do.

I love it when linemen are ugly. Makes them hate life and when they hate life they block harder :D

Seriously, when you're carrying around an extra 50-60 lbs go figure

The next Russ Grimm.
Mark your calenders.

Nah! He's Bostic!

I'd be happy with another Raleigh McKenzie. Dude could play just about every position along the line.

Since when did the looks of a player's physique become part of a scouting report? I had to lol when I saw that he has a "dumpy looking physique!" I mean really, if the guy were 1st round material, would it say "great player but he doesn't look good?"

Yeah, you have to really question the scouts who drool (probably literally in private) over nfl prospects' physiques and measurables.

This is probably why the 2 Brady quarterbacks went where they went in their respective drafts: Tom Brady and Brady Quinn.

It never fails because you have these NFL scouts that have a background and roots that don't have anything to do with sports; they value things like physique and devalue things like work ethic. It took me a while, but that's how I figured out the difference between a good and bad NFL scout. ... and NFL fan too.

I trust in Shanahan, and if he likes him enough to pick him above all other picks not named RG3, then he's got to have potential. However, I thought the ZBS relied on agile athletic O-linemen -- and it is concerning that "stiff" is in there twice, along with "tightly wound" and "limited athlete".. Big concerns to me are: (1) Rated lower on most analylst boards, (2) Small school, (3) Academic ineligibility / 70 lbs weight gain when off duty (?work ethic).

Anyway, would give Shanahan all the benefit of the doubt, since he's usually right on these things.

Smh

Speak English.




I like all of the O-line picks we made. They're all athletic, zone-blocking capable players and it looks like we've covered guard, tackle and center (Gettis projected as a center in the pros because of his size). They're all very solid backups and possibly challenging for starter jobs in the future.
