All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host. Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/forum/feedback-forums/billszone-q-a/6521455-upgrade-report-bugs-here

I agree but it is possible, l I just don't think Gilbert is going to be the guy to do it. He is known for his lower leg strength, not his upper body strength.

I think Peria Jerry and Ron Brace could both take a run at it. Im going to say Jerry gets it with 44 reps.

COMING SOON...

Re: Who is going to win the combine bench press?

Alex Mack with 41. Rationale: He's strong, and one of the criticisms I've heard concerning him is that his arms are a little on the short side for an offensive lineman. Short arms are a disadvantage when trying to grapple with a big DT, but an advantage when it comes to the bench press. That's also a reason why I'd stay away from Jarron Gilbert as a pick in this one.

I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

I'm putting my money on Wisconsin OG Kraig Urbik! Midwesterner, corn fed, USDA prime cut OL. I say that he does 45 reps or so at the combine. My buddy lives in Wisconsin and sees a whole lot of Mark Tausher in this guy!!

He's got a shot as he's a gym rat, you just don't see many 245-265 guys win the bench press.

You know what? I was just about to type that in until I saw your post. Apparently Orakpo can bench 500lbs+ so he has to atleast be in that vicinity.
