I was screaming for Dave Decastro in the first round a few years back... This year I'm not so sure.... Maybe a stud center... I'd rather go TE, WR, RB, or DE... if Rex can build a great defense, I feel steel will sharpen steel in TC, and practices..

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...

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.

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.

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,

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.

I hope he's put in a position to succeed... Until then, It's all blah-blah, yaketty-schmackety.... I still think we need a BIG Target... 6'4" or better for whoever our QB ends up being... I likes 'em big.... If we can get that guy, that'll be the diffference.

In the NFL, he won't be able to gallop through the golf-course size holes they made for him at UGA. As for any comparisons to Adrian Beat-a-son, I don't see as many as some do... Gurle is nowhere NEAR as physical and hard a runner. -JMO.

Everything I've seen of Gurley leads me to think he will bust out eventually... Brett Hundley is also fool's gold for QB-desperate franchises... Jameis Winston may be ready for the pro-game as an athlete, but NOT as a man... I he doesn't have immediate success, the poor kid looks like he may self-destruct... The three kids I really feel will defy expectations are: Sammie Coates WR Auburn.. Josh Robinson, RB Misssipi State, and Jesse James, TE PSU.... Three draft STEALS that are ready to contibute on day 1 of the regular season.

Rex is the absolute WORST coach to have during a QB controversy.... on the bright side, we're !00% SET at backup QB... No question there.

I, Like many think he should be building chemistry with Sammy, Not Chris frickin' Hogan! Ooooh they got everybody scared now, LOL.

This topic was unspecific too, and I searched.... Mods should merge topics with my thread title... It's only fair.

Are we? The fish snag arguably the best defensive F/A on the market. NYJ just hellified their secondary, The Patsoes just won a frickin' SB! I can't honestly say we're ahead of anybody. Not yet anyway.

Fixed it... Needed to be a little more specific.

Fins grab Suh... We snag mcCoy, but lose Alonso... The Jets upgradee their secondary big time...Four teams... Yet, only one seems to ever get over consistently. The Patsoes lose Revis and Bianca... Are we there yet?

There's not a whole lot of film out there on Josh, but as someone who watches a TON of college ball, (especially SEC) I can tell you that he is more NFL ready than Gurley, Gordon, or Ameer Abdullah.... He's not that fast... I get it.... But he's not that kind of back! He catches the ball extremely well, turns on a dime, picks up the blitz... J-Rob doesn't have a ton of top-end speed, but has tremendous burst once he hits the hole... And he's SUPER hard to bring down once he gets a head of steam. There was a brief issue with fumbling... IMO, not a major one... Get this kid behind a decent O-line, and you've got a home-run threat every time he carries it... You could do alot worse with a 5th or 6th round pick.

LOVE the speed... Can't handle the fumbles.. Such a waste...

In a word... Stud. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f05pZn-Fi1s The perfect, and I mean PERFECT compliment to McCoy... I love me some Fredex, but it's over, and we all know it. Give Freddy a sun-visor, a coaching polo, and let's call it a career. J-Rob is what's next!

Gary Nova... No question in my mind he can develop into something good.. Threw a bunch of picks in College, but threw a lot of TD's too. Comes from a pro style offense.... Plenty of arm.... Mobile... Super quick release.... 6th to UDFA..

Poor Bryce brown... He has NO CLUE how miserable his life will be if he fumbles in TC... He will either be cut on the spot, or used as the "whipping-boy" for the rest of the RB corp... Hopefully he hangs onto the ball.... I doubt it, though.

Fine... We'll take him off their hands for a seventh rounder this year, and they can have Jeff Tuel. I like Tuel, he's really grown on me, but that's fair.

On who? -RG3??? That's not pulling the trigger, that's flushing the toilet.. RG3 can't stay healthy, and isn't as good a decision-maker as many of us thought... He's not an upgrade to anything we've currently got.

No way... People saw what the Scwartz did with our D... Pegsy totally effed him over for a chance at a big-name coach... VERY unfair, in my humble opinion... Perhaps even unwise.. We embarassed Rex last season. -Twice. The second time with one of the most dominating defensive showings we've had in a while... I like the guy alot... He gets a big drunken hug from me should he walk into any Bills bar I'm drinking in.

I hope we're not giving up on this draft as a source of some excellent weapons... McCoy... Charles Clay... Harvin... While inspiring, these pickups are not NEARLY enough offense to deliver Rex's promised "Bully" I'm hoping we double-down on TE, RB, and WR... Jesse James, Josh Robinson, and Sammie Coates, respectively... I realize we probably don't have a shot at Coates, but the others are attainable... My football phiosophy is simple. -Overkill. We've been the whipping-boy in this division for far too long.

Best QB on the team thus far....Talented enough to win the job away from EJ and/or Cassel...Tyrod Taylor ups the ante considerably for TC.
