Y2C Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Read a bit of the thread and wow, just... wow. Geeze Mike, when will you ever get it through your skull that upper body strength is slightly important when it comes to playing tackle effectively?!

Mr Dee Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 He'd be wise to keep at least an arms length away from such discussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Funny thing what ever Chung is getting paid is very cost friendly for the production they are getting out him. But it's nice of the Riders to be the knights in shining armour to save the rest of 8 teams in the up coming years ?. It's great though the Riders won't have to over pay next year on their first overall pick. Blueandgold, IC Khari and kelownabomberfan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeBird Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Let's say we did not like how much France was paying for their wine and decided to make a market correction a la Riders by refusing to pay any more than $5.00 for Canadian wine. When we told them what how we had fixed it they would say: "monsieur, allez manger du caca." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wbbfan Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 The power generation comes from legs and hips and goes up. Lower body strength is more important, but great upper body strength can really bail a tackle out. Of course foot speed hip fluidity and such are all very important at tackle too. What ever a Ts weakest at is most important to him. Lots of linemen out there dont have particularly big arms for their stature. But they all have big legs. Its kinda taken for granted that when your 300+ and play a sport at a high level that your legs will be pretty damn strong. I think thats why 225 reps at the combine is thought soo highly of for linemen. If a guy has strong upper body and is that big his legs probably wont be lagging too badily. For me though ill take a quick/explosive tackle over any other single attribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Stupid phone. I always thought technique plus foot work were most important for an OL. I mean I look at a guy like Tyson Pence who was huge... jacked... but wasn't very good at all. Didn't have the technique and foot work down so he failed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
