Dude looks lean at 240 lbs on tv footage. Should he put on 10 - 20 lbs?

No brainer if he wants to be a 3 down OLB... 255+ would be ideal

Yeah, at 240 I think he can be a pass rush specialist, but Sheard is much thicker (2 inches shorter and 15 pounds heavier), so i can't see Mingo in there on running downs so much.

--although first down is not really a running down anymore.

[miktoxic]

just means he can get to the QB faster.

i'm drooling at the prospect of that dummy QB he rails through being flacco or BR.

nitey nite!

His left arm is an inch and half longer than his right? What's up with that?

Mama usually holds child with her right hand.....that means his left. She tugged a little more than most.

[Comeonman]

If he becomes a pro bowler I will never question Banner or Lombardi again on draft picks (who am I kidding). Hope he turns out to be the next JPP

FWIW

"Currently, the causes of congenital skeletal limb abnormalities are not fully understood. Some possible risk factors for this condition may include:
•being exposed to viruses, medications, or chemicals before birth
•tobacco use by your mother while she was pregnant with you
•having other kinds of abnormalities. These include omphalocele, a heart defect, or gastroschisis.
•congenital constriction band syndrome, in which bands of amniotic tissue get tangled in your arms or legs before your birth"

IOW, the quacks don't have a clue

Well, it that extra inch and a half tips a pass to win the Super Bowl, all that tugging was damn worth it.

Now let's have an uneventful boring training camp. NO injuries, arrests, suspensions and all that junk

Amen brother...no odd results on lab tests, no injuries just a good focus on the upcoming season

Again, the league we play in... which is why the Browns and Mingo are both saying he's good to go at 240. Quickness off the edge trumps playing the run by miles and miles these days.

In fact, after the guy who throws the ball, the guy who hits the guy who throws the ball is the most important player in football. Well... or the guy who stops the guy who hits the guy who throws the football (LT).

look! he's ashamed of the longer arm. he's hiding it under the table (where haslam is slippin him about 2.5 mil cash guaranteed (don't know the #'s)

i always thought kids had one arm longer than the other from being dragged out of the mall to the car outside where they could get their ass beat without other people's involvement.

john quinonez asks: "what would you do?"

[slowburn]

at least his eyes are on the level

Yeah, size only matters on the OL. I had a chance to meet TJ Ward @ one of our Browns Backers dinners, and the first thought that came into my head was- there's no way a guy that small can deliver those kind of hits on a football field.

Well he really has not been leveling the big hits since he blasted that dude from Cincitucky....but I get your point and agree with you 100% Point being you dont have to be a fat blob of goo to play good D and frankly I would take fast and high cardio dudes to play an up tempo and wear the competition down

Let's hope Mingo develops into a pass rusher with more than one move, unlike the "freekish, super fast, next LT" Kam Wimbley. His one and only, dip and try to run around move, got old fast.

These "scientific breakdowns" are useless.

A couple years ago they broke down John Skelton and claimed him to be better than John Elway based on his reaction time and arm strength.

Well, Elway is in his 50's.
