"HARRELL OFF TO SLUGGISH START "

[Partial]

7%? I highly doubt that. If he's 7% at his size I would be amazed. You'd walk around shirtless all the time....LOL.

Has a OL or DL ever been 7%?

Yea maybe Donald Driver is that lean. We all wish we could have 7% body fat. That's extremely healthy.

Isn't Driver like 3-4% body fat?

It has been reported as that but he is nowhere near that. That is impossible to maintain. Body builders don't even get like that lean for more than a day or two. Then when they eat anything containing salt or potassium they put on 10 lbs immediately.

Driver is about 7%. Look at JohnStoneFitness.com and you'll see what 7% looks like. Driver looks about the same but smaller.

Oh Geez ... the EC Rats are gonna be gone for a while ...

I love to give the ladies a little pleasure in life. They might as well take in the eye candy. He's a good looking guy for 37 years old.

All players on defense have to get in hitting shape. I don't care how good a condition you are in, until you start banging heads, you won't be ready to play.

The fat guys all keep a little weight on 'em, because some of it falls off early in camp.

Harrell will be further slowed by an inability to lift the heavy weights until that 'cep heals totally.

Be patient with the young guy, he'll be fine when he gets it all going.

That's what we are all praying for. Early reports add more question to how ready this guy is to heavily contribute in 07

1) We don't know if it would or wouldn't.
2) Still wouldn't put him in football shape.

Maybe my memory serves me wrong, but I thought the medical guys on GB and TT said they expected 100% participation once the camp started and were holding him out in earlier camps so he could be 100% now

B,

I dunno if you saw my comment in another thread (it might even be in this one) on film I saw on him a few weeks ago. We were hangin' at the lake in So KY. It's so far south, most of the lake is in Tennesee.

Local TV is real strange down there & not much to watch. After water skiin' all day, I sat down to nurse a tall Makers Mark & coke & watch the tube. Best show I could find was a U Tenn football show.

They were reviewing the DLine so I decided to watch and see if they spoke about Harrell. Did they ever! The kid that was replacing Harrell was flat out reverential about Justin Harrell The kid immediately said how tough it was to replace a guy who had the potential to be as good as Reggie White & the announcer quickly agreed that Harrell was one of the best DLine prospects in the last 30 years at UT.

They don't throw compliments like that loosely down there so I kept watching. Then they ran 4 or 5 minute of Harrell highlights. I really couldn't believe how eye popping a player he was. I basically had never heard of the guy til we drafted him. He absolutely destroyed anyone he was singeled up against. Both a run stuffer and a pass rusher, he dominated the OLines he played. Most of the time they double him with the center, but he's so active, he can split 'en pretty easy

I wanted to post again because I saw something in that tape package that may be a problem for this year. Harrell has a Reggie-like move on his bull rush. he likes to keep his one arm inside and get the other outside the guard. The, when he bulls 'em he pushed with that inside arm. & flings the guy on his ass. It reminded me of Reggies club, but was a clear indication that Harrell can be a special guy.

I couldn't help wonder if the kid is a year away, because a rehabbing bicep might really hurt the kid & prevent him from using a key move. I also wonder if he was hurt using that move?

[HarveyWallbangers]

I don't get the point. The arm may be 100% now. Doesn't mean he was able to workout all offseason. Definitely doesn't mean he'd be close to playing shape. He didn't play much last year, and he didn't practice at mini-camp or all offseason.

I think it's silly to write him off just because he's struggled the first week of camp. Is that really a surprise?

I missed that; interesting comments.
Thanks for posting them again.

With serious injuries like this year one often ends up being working through the injury and year two is when we see players 100%
