Signing OT Robert Myers off Ravens PS

[Draft Crazy]

A player I have always liked through draft scouting not that I know anything about OL.

 

[Draft Crazy]

Can come in and play OT or OG for us. Has good upside. We need someone now but at least this guy can play and has potential down the line.

Strengths
Has good thickness and strength through lower body. Flashes desired functional strength with ability to anchor against bull rushers. Footwork is a plus and stays balanced in pass protection. Sound technician and recognizes D-line games. Initial punch has some juice behind it. Good body control and knee bend. Gets movement at point of attack when asked to drive block. Well-timed climb to second level. Will look for work downfield and hustles to trail play. Tough player with above-average strength for his size and a frame to add more weight.

Weaknesses
Average lateral athlete. Needs better understanding of angles and positioning as zone blocker. Not overly quick and tends to lose contact on outside runs. Loses strength when hands slide out too wide. Below average change of direction to strike moving targets on second level. Lacks muscle in his arms and has a soft midsection. Must prove he can handle faster, stronger competition.


Bottom Line
Myers is already above average from a technical standpoint and is a quick processor when the game speeds up. Myers is a guard prospect who can pull and play in a power scheme. He has the pass protection traits of an NFL starter. The ceiling is higher for Myers than many guard prospects in this draft, and with more coaching and work in the weight room, he should be an NFL starter.

From Post:

"The Broncos signed guard Robert Myers to replace the spot vacated by safety Shaun Prater's release.

Myers, a 6-foot-5, 335 pound offensive linemen, was nicknamed "Quadzilla" during the combine for his massive 33 inch quads.

"Anything that looks that good, you've got to be proud of," responded Myers on if he was proud of his nickname. "I worked hard, you know?"

Myers was a 2015 5th round pick of the Ravens spending most of the season on the team's practice squad. That was where Denver nabbed him from Wednesday.

He came into the locker room with three suitcases, opened the playbook and smiled.

"Zone scheme," Myers said.

That's what he played in Baltimore and it should make his transition to Denver a lot easier."

Pray tell - how do you know that you like Myers:
From watching Tennessee State on TV each week?
By watching him workout with the Ravens practice squad?
Maybe you dated a girl at Cal that reminded you of him?

Just curious, my friend. Happy New Year!!

Where's Greg ?

Was just thinking about Bronco Greg. Have not heard from him since we moved. Hope all is well with him. Wonder if he ever got the memo we moved?

If so, Happy New Year's Greg!

Seriously, could Myers be any worse at RT than Schofield ??

The last lineman named Myers who was on the Bronco's roster - went on to some all pro seasons with the Texans coached by Kubiak and Dennison. Lightening - bottle - twice?
