Nice Article on Jamil Douglas

Impressive stuff. Cant wait for him to send Dallas Thomas to the bench.
 
I thought that several people said that he was pillow-soft. Apparently, they were very wrong.

Being strong and being tough/good at football are two different things...I mean Dallas Thomas "looks" the part. but doesn't translate on the field...this isn't anything against Douglas, it may translate on the field (hope and pray it does)...

He's not soft per se, but he doesn't play up to his strength on the field, imo. But to me it looked like it was mostly a technique thing. Not sustaining blocks, being too high, etc. I'm no lineman expert but it was obvious to see. But despite those technique things you could see that his punch has power... that he's a strong guy.

To me he looked a lot better as a player at tackle than he did at guard, but mostly I think that was the extra year. He did those things... sustained blocks better, used better leverage, much better in 2014 than in 2013. He looked like the kind of college tackle who would be a nice NFL guard. Hopefully that's what he turns out to be. Not the guard he was in 2013.
 
He's gonna need that strength going against the DT's in our division. Benton has got to be salivating about the potential he has.
 
That's not all that strong for OL. I've known RBs to hit those numbers. I'm pulling for the kid and think he has a ton of upside but freak isnt the name to come to mind with those stats. Larry Allen, freak. Tra Thomas, freak. Douglas isnt.
 
:lol: All the experts here on FH...
 
For comparison:

Jamil Douglas
Bench press: 430
Squat: 565

Larry Allen (reportedly)
Bench press: 700
Squat: 900
 
Awesome. I think he's gonna be good for us. He's strong and he can move and get out into the second level really well. Can't wait to see him pulling to Albert's side with Miller running full speed behind him. Gonna be the beat dolphins year in a long time.

700?? Yeah idk about that. That seems extreme. He wouldnt even be able to wipe his own ass much less have good hand technique. If its true though that's downright amazing.
 
For sure -- those "numbers" on Larry Allen are seriously inflated. Or I should say, they are inverse-Brady numbers.

I never get tired of posting those two videos. Either one is amazing. Together they're superhuman.
