Howard Brown up 20+ lbs?

Mainly get parallel with the ground. When tired, linemen’s first move is to stand up straight and then go forward instead of keeps your pads flat.
Brown is an interesting prospect. He could be a very good NT, and in very short time, as NT is really all about pushing in the middle of the OL. Not a lot of reads or worries about getting out of a lane or getting suckered on a screen pass. Just low pads and plug up the middle of the line. Lima was a great at this.
We are very lucky to have Coach Rasheed. What he has done with our D-Line is nothing short of amazing. Plus, how about the badass beard he is rocking now. Excited to see how this unit plays this year. Loaded with experience and talent. Plus it will be fun to see some of the young guys get on the field.
Agreed, after listening to him talk a few times I hope we can keep him around a hell of a long time.
Coach Rasheed and Coach Heacock have totally changed the direction of our program. His work on the D line (rasheed) has been extraordinary. He would probably get my vote for DC when jon hangs it up (i'm sure tyson veit would be highly capable too).
Regarding Brown I think he can be a Tuba Rubin quality DL for us. Put him in the weight room 18 months and on a better diet and he will be a monster. He doesn't need to play this year at all but may a little if he's too good to keep off the field.
A misconception against McDonald I think is that he's a pass rusher only. In the game tape last year he was extremely stiff against the run too. He's simply much much stronger than his weight would indicate, just freaky twitchy and strong.
Whomever starts opposite Will M at the other DE position will have a huge opportunity this year. I say that b/c he will be getting double teamed on the other side constantly.
Who do you all think wins the other DE spot? Blake Peterson? Johnny Wilson?
Uwazurike.
Field End: McDonald, Peterson
Nose: Lee, Singleton, Brown, Uwazurike
End: Uwazurike, Petersen, Robertson
I thought about saying I hope he is the next d coordinator but don’t know enough about him on scheme. He turned our weakest spot into one of our best.
Coach Rasheed literally just said that Will’s biggest room improvement is nutrition and in the weight room.
If he’s about 240 now, I hope he hits 250 by the start of the season—and 260 by the time he’s off for the NFL.
It also takes some wear and tear off the starters.
Yep, and I think the rotation keeps them fresh for the late game.
That’s no lie. I Started on the Peleton in January and have lost the 15 I put on in 2020. Goal is another 25. Told my team they saw less of me in 2020 due to COVID, but I hoped they see less of me in 2021 because there is less to see!
I think that was a big problem on the CPR years. He didn't have the depth to rotate players so the team would start wearing down midway through the 3rd quarter and then the 4th was just a mess.
You could see from day one that CMC was working on creating real depth.
The rotation of guys makes the fact that so many starters returning will be even more advantageous for the younger guys to learn from. They don't have to be the man right off the bat. (Having said that, I don't know how many transferred out due to playing time worries with so many returning)
He said he added 20 lbs of good weight. He probably lost some bad weight too. I'm guessing he's around 305 - 315.
