Ahh you didn't
read
or pay attention
or prehaps believe the comments made on the Sherrad thread . There are at least 3 sources that speak of his long arms, reach.

This means little, but it threw me off. Bryan Bulaga didn't start until week 5, but started the following 12 regular season games, plus the 4 post season games. I initially mistakenly took "started 16 games last season" as regular season.





What did you tell me? You said that Bulaga's three inch shorter arms mean he's less of a good fit at LT than Sherrod. Quit smoking the ganja and your memory might improve.

I've heard the long/short arm thing several times and it's been effectively debunked. I'm not sure why people keep mentioning it. I understand the perception is the longer the arms, the farther away the DL stays away.

I guess I'm confused on how 33inch arms are SHORT, but 36inch arms are LONG. It's three inches. Where's the line drawn? Why is so much being said about something that professionals dismiss it's importance? What the hell am I missing here???

Ask your next girlfriend what 3 more inches could do for you.

This was so great it needed to be published twice. (thats right, i noticed before you deleted the second one 😉 )

That's not relative to the discussion, but I'll play along.
They say something like 6 inches is average, right?
Okay, so short would be 5 inches?
We'll add 3 inches to that, to give 8 inches.
That goes from short to long (not sure if I'd consider 8inchs long, but ok), by using the definition of average being 6 inches.

Also, for someone who's say 5'6" is short by national average for height, however, if you add 3" to that to put them at 5'9", that doesn't make them tall by any non-dwarf thinking.

Arm length would be in the middle there. Are we to believe 34 inches arm's are average, thus 33 inch arms are short and leaving 36 inch arms as long?

Three inches isn't a helluva lot (that's what she said!) when discussing arm length. If the player whom has 33 inch arms has a longer torso then he can lean in farther than the 36 inch arm fella.

Okay, I'm done rambling... I have to work now.

You got me Zero. I don't buy into the long/short philosophy either. I merely pointer out that his longer reach makes some people happy after gbguy20 mentioned that he thought he had a short reach.

---

How about this. Do you think a 3" arm length advantage would matter in boxing?

---

Not solely. There have been a lot of boxers who were pummeled by guys who were better boxers or had more fire than their longer armed adversary.
Does it help? Perhaps. Is it required. No.

Maybe if you quit smoking the ganja, YOUR spelling will improve. ;)

Back on topic - excited about this pick. I wanted OL dealt with in the first round. Aaron Rodgers is the most important person on the Green Bay Packers. His health should be our #1 investment. NE realizes what they have in Brady. With 2 years straight of OT picks in the first round, I guess we're realizing what we have in Rodgers. :thumbright:

I no not of which you speak. 🙂 (walking away whistling)



I don't doubt Ted's picks anymore. I'm not worthy. I doubted the Greg Jennings pick and that was my last mistake.
