What I want to see is how the guy reacts to being coached. does it matter the final count of reps probably not, but do I see the kind of guy that responds to a coach positively or negatively when he is out of his comfort zone and he knows his future may be on the line.

Get Hochuli to monitor the reps. That would be worth tuning in.

These players should risk getting a hernia before they even get a paycheck? I know it’s a different sport, but Kevin Durant couldn’t do many bench presses either. A player can play or he can’t. And these coaches and scouts MISS on a LOT of players just the same.

Smoot did not lift at the combine. Lifted at his pro day. As usual you don’t know what you are talking about!

He thinks every rookie is a disappointment compared to Brady Quinn.

Just by looking at the headline, I thought that one of Ronnie Lott’s sons wouldn’t be at the combine

” he pushes the players beyond their comfort zone”

You obviously have never had a strength coach. I figured based on your size, but you surely have to been exposed to one at some point. It’s their job to push people past what are perceived as one’s limits. It’s the only way to get better.

He’ll be missed. I love watching him, get the big boys amped up. I have a feeling if Warmack lifts it’s going to be a sight.

I think the combine is a total waste of time as these players have videos of the games they have played so putting them through this combine is just another media circus with little value.

He has more pressing work to do getting Arizona back to the top of the NFC-West aka NFL-Best. GO CARDINALS!!

This year they will have a guy named Norman who asks the players “Are you O.K.? Don’t get carried away now, those darn weights are heavy. Do you want to stop and get hydrated? Just imagine you’re strolling through a field of clover with your new puppy dog. The sun is shining, song birds fill the air with their cheery notes, gophers poke their heads from their burrow to scold you…Is that better? I thought so….”.

saw this coming, got to be a little too much about John Lott towards the end there…remember him calling Tom Zbikowski “Rudy” one year, Tom was not too happy about that…

If I’m not mistaken that is the same agent who said I don’t care if my guy gets picked in the first round or the third round.

I understand that Manti Te’o wants to do the 15 minute personal interviews by email at the combine. Mike, could you check that out for me.

You don’t lift the 225 with your arms. You press the 225 with your chest, shoulders and some arms.

“Who cares if my guy gets 24 instead of 27 reps?” one agent told PFT last year. “No one has ever won a football game because of how many times a guy can lift 225 pounds with his arms.”

probably not. but players have slipped down the draft board some for not maximizing their effort. which costs them $$.

He won’t be missed. Looks like ANOTHER so called strength “coach” who looks like he never lifted weights in his life.

Which agent made that statement?

By: freepretzels

Of course the agent doesn’t get why a strength coach might press an athlete to do his best.
