About the right range...

And 240 must be his "program weight"... Looked more like 230 in 1st pre-season game...

Here are a few tidbits you may not be aware of, Mingo did not play high school football until his Jr. year, he was a track runner, and very good at it.

In fact, you may be surprised to learn that one of those state champ sprinters was current Tigers defensive end Barkevious Mingo of West Monroe. Mingo, now 6-5, 240, anchored West Monroe's state championship Class 5A 400-meter relay squad.

He also ran a leg on the Rebels' second place 1,600-meter relay team, was fifth in the 200 (21.85) and sixth in the 400 (49.54).

He can't do that any more after gaining 40 pounds, but I still see sprinter speed underlying his game. I hope you enjoy him as much as we did when he was in Baton Rouge.

I never heard of him getting in any trouble, either.

dude i was just throwin somethin up there that some of us might not have already seen. i don't think anywhere in the report or in my statement did i say it will be a 'fact' that he'll do better than LT.

i'm just glad the guy signed, is motivated to show somebody somethin and the way he busted up that practice QB in that video was hilarious!!!! looked like he disjointed every part of the upper body.

Well, Elway is in his 50's.

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!

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 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

@shep said:

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.

@kamac19 said:

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.

Worth a few million bucks man

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).
