re: Brennan has kind of attached himself to Burrow’s hip and is learning from him

Brennan needs the strength to make a play with a DL/LB grabbing at him. Looking at him, I don’t think he has the strength to do that.

A CB skill set is much much different. Speed and quickness are paramount. CB doesn’t need to be able to make a play with a 250+ lb person hanging on to him.

C'mon Ree. I have seen you get bashed quite a bit on here because you are the posi to the negi, and while I think most of your posts do bring some factual information, you can not defend that Brennan's body will be able to endure a season of play in the SEC, nor compare him to other position players. While he has acquired some muscle mass, he could use a bit of bulk on his frame to withstand the barrage of hits he will undergo. I present one Danny Etling who seemed to suffer every week and he had 20lbs in listed weight over Brennan, if in fact Brennan is close to 194lbs.

Wtf dude. You don't know that. E was a pretty good sec QB in his day, and has been a coach for 30+ years. You people are pathetic. Give E a chance.

"In 1990, how behind was Georgia’s passing offense?

“We were running the same offense as Herschel Walker did,” said Garrison Hearst, a Heisman Trophy finalist in 1992 while playing in Ensminger’s Georgia offense.

Ensminger called many of the plays during that three-year stint in Athens, Hearst said, but he’s mostly known for his work with Zeier. The quarterback set every SEC passing record before he left the school, and Ensminger and McDuffie revamped Georgia’s run-heavy scheme to one that led the SEC in passing.

Goff won 46 games as UGA’s head coach in seven seasons, and 19 of them came in 1991 and 1992 — Ensminger’s first two years on staff.

Zeier and Hearst describe a system most similar to the West Coast offense, a scheme Bill Walsh popularized in the 1980s with the San Francisco 49ers. Zeier’s passing progression was short to deep, he said. Formations evolved from an I-formation look into a three- and four-receiver set, with one back. Georgia heavily used the shotgun, too, and the run game was built on zone blocking.

“I got to Frisco and realized I was running a pro scheme in college,” said Hearst, who spent five seasons with the 49ers."

How does the extra weight make tendons, bones, cartilage, etc stronger? Do the lighter guys get hit harder?

Etling had back problems. I don't think it had anything to do with the extra weight or lack thereof.

These athletes are not fat, they are toned and lean. To answer your question, more muscle mass does make tendons, cartilage, etc stronger, but you have to know this. In addition, he did have back pain and guess what, had surgery and adopted a tough training and rehab regime, by goes what, adding weight through muscle mass, which in turn made his recovery quicker.

Right but we aren’t running an offense from
the early 90s.

Saying E is progressive and modern because he was progressive and modern 25 years ago when he was like 32 makes no sense.

Plus telling me he ran a west coast in the 90s doesn’t jive with him saying we’re gonna stick to Butrows strengths in 2018.

I doubt Burrows strength are running a west coast offense.

I think brennan’s Weight is over blown.

He isn’t going to be running the ball and taking hits like that. QBs doesn’t get lit up that often

Yet you would rather just bash E than give the former tiger QB the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise

If he was an interior Dlineman or an Olineman I could see the weight being a problem.

I don't think you have to weigh a lot to hand the ball off to a RB or throw it to a receiver.

I also don't see why weighing less is some kind of guarantee a QB will be injured.

Brennan played the “get better vs get bitter” approach and that will pay off if Burrow gets hurt and/or when he he graduates.

Sure seems like with this story as well as brennans dad being okay with redshirting, they are committed to getting better through any means necessary.

good for him
