D'Brackashaw

***general counsel*** · -01-28-2006

I appreciate that one thing we dont need is an offensive tackle, but i just watched part of the senior bowl and that dude DBrackashaw looks like a cant miss stud to me. Big guy, appears to have great technique. He will be a steal at #4. At least as good a prospect as gallery who went #2. I really believe that we stole barron at #19

I don't think he's as good a prospect as Gallery coming out. I have some questions about his strength and run blocking ability. But he's definitely a top ten guy in this draft, and really showed great ability blocking Mathias Kiwanuka in practice this week.

d'brick is actually undersized, hes only 295

imo hes a better prospect then gallery, better feet and the best pass blocker in the draft ive seen since pace!

I LOVE the stud offensive tackles. I didnt know he was only 295. I think offensive tackle is the single most undervalued positon in the nfl. That and defensive tackle of course. One average to below average offensive tackle can complete disrupt an entire offense's options in the passing game, regardless of the strength of the rest of the line. Look at the positive impact barron had coming into the lineup and he was only a rookie.

I was a huge, huge big jackie fan and of course, as you all know, i dearly love the big man, orlando pace. I think very very highly of barron. I was also a huge fan of big irv pankey.

I'm with GC I like the Big linemen,they are the Bread and butter of your team,And alot of bisquets and gravy to go with it.

G.C., your mention of Irv Pankey reminded me of another excellent Ram Tackle. Remember ol' Doug France? He was a huge guy from Ohio State and played along side Dennis (Hercules) Harrah--another great Ram lineman. But getting back to D. France, he played left tackle and was most noted for his performances against the biggest and best of his era. He would have some epic games against Leeroy Selmon and was one of the few who could block him one-on-one. Unfortunately due to injuries and other factors, Doug's career only lasted about 5 years. Well so much for the trip down memory lane, back to work now.

WHAT SAY YE?

Excellent call my friend on big doug france. I agree 100%

Your mention of dennis harrah is terrific. I stud of biblical magnitude, one of the meanest and toughest guys ever to wear the horns.
