Riley Reiff projected Top 20 pick in 2012

[theboat]

This guy is just a flamer; he really knows very little about football by his own admission. The Raiders player he is talking about ended up being a Pro-Bowl alternate at Guard, Eric Steinbach IS a Pro Bowler as has been Marshall Yanda etc, etc……A “footballâ€￾ fan would know these things. He is a typical SEC homer who knows little about football period….

They think because they are “SECâ€￾ fans they know football but the truth is I know more about the SEC than the typical SEC fan….

Chad

He is a clone fan, but claims SEC because he thinks it makes him look cool.

Hmmm, are you predicting a situation where he is seen on a Moped and a certain someone claiming that he'll be starting by midseason?

When you're a 1st rd draft pick, you're riding a Harley or custom made ride. I could have swore I saw him on a Harley in "The Pit's" parking lot.

Iowa has a reputation for putting O linemen in the NFL? I remember that husky gal that flamed out for the Raiders a while back, but besides that I can't remember any.

Eric Steinbach
Bruce Nelson
Ben Sobieski
Robert Gallery
Pete McMahon
Mike Elgin
Marshall Yanda
Seth Olsen
Bryan Bulaga
Kyle Calloway
Julian Vandervelde

Those are the linemen who have been drafted under Ferentz. Two are Pro Bowlers (Steinbach and Yanda), another has gotten close (Gallery), and another may be well on his way (Bulaga).

If you don't think Iowa is given a lot of respect from the NFL in the O-Line department, then you really don't pay attention.

Honestly, you guys are just adorable when you brag. It's like a 5 year old bragging that they finally learned to tie their shoes. The previous post bragging about being a pro-bowl alternate made me spit water out of my mouth.

I went over every player on your list, and despite the lists unimpressive size for a fanbase that claims they are an O-Line factory (What, 10 in 12 years? LOOK OUT!), I went over each player on that list.

Of those 9 drafted before last week, 4 of them (Elgin, McMahon, Olson, and Calloway) NEVER PLAYED ONE SNAP IN THE NFL! One of them, Nelson, was a second round draft pick who played a whopping 15 games, starting only 1 in his illustrious career.

I can see why the NFL respects your lines so much! LO freaking L!

You are truly a clown, one whose issue really lies with the NFL scouts....they are the ones who call Iowa a 0-line factory, anything else here friend?!

Chad

PS.....here again is dim you are, Iowa is number one in O-line draft picks in the last 7 or 8 years, tied with someone else I don't remember who…so once again you make yourself look stupid. We couldn't do as good a job trying as you do accidentally.

I do have an issue with those NFL scouts, because it appears that 60% of the linemen Iowa sends to the NFL are washouts, and that's not counting Gallery as a washout, because I sincerely believe that Oakland used the 2nd pick in the draft to wait 6 years for him to develop into a pro-bowl alternate.

Well there you go, take it up with them.....they have now had 11 picks, most of any team....

[lumuhawk]

Interesting. I talked to Coach Wilson last week and he said, for all the talk about Reiff, he thinks Ferentz is the best lineman on the team. Surprised there is zero talk about him given how high the Pouncey brothers went in the last two drafts.

Now, considering that Florida has almost twice as many draftees since 1999, who do you think has the higher rate of being a washout?

 

[theboat]

Interesting. I talked to Coach Wilson last week and he said, for all the talk about Reiff, he thinks Ferentz is the best lineman on the team. Surprised there is zero talk about him given how high the Pouncey brothers went in the last two drafts.

This is the main reason that I think this line will be so good this year. Lil' Ferentz is gonna be the catalyst that keeps all the talent around him in line. Is it August yet?

Interesting. I talked to Coach Wilson last week and he said, for all the talk about Reiff, he thinks Ferentz is the best lineman on the team. Surprised there is zero talk about him given how high the Pouncey brothers went in the last two drafts.

A couple reasons for that (and the Pouncey's)

1. Ferentz is pretty undersized (275, and both Pouncey brothers weigh in at just over 300)
2. Mike Pouncey was a guard last year, and a damn good one. Then he was a damn good center this year. Versatility like that is big.

That's just to explain some of the disparity between the Pouncey's and Ferentz. He might be our best lineman, but he's not the best pro prospect right now (if that makes any sense).

 

[trj]

I agree with Jon's assessment that James is better than his brother Brian with that said Maurkice Pouncey is on a whole other level. Not only is he super athletic, he is also very cerebral. He blew away the Steeler organization with his intelligence. Barring injuries he will join Webster & Dawson as Steeler HOF centers. Everything I've read indicates Mike is the same way.


Maybe down the road James is a serviceable NFL center....That's a big maybe, his lack of size is a killer.

 

[bws258]

He predicts 3 players from North Carolina Defense (DE, 2 OLB)in the first round next year. I don't know a whole lot about them but that seems hard to fathom.

He ain't the only one predicting that
