Crompton has a Whoops

I read about Crompton. I trust CLK he has been around some really good QB's many of them 1st rounders and very successful in the Nfl (no Leinart jokes please). He has been very complimentary about Crompton so far.
Last year is on Clawson's O scheme. I'm excited about this team. I'm guessing if Crompton sucks the first game he will get the hook faster than Gene Gene the dancing machine on the old Gong show.

No Leinart jokes huh?That wouldn't have anything to do with the fact he plays behind a fossil would it?:)

I disagree. The previous staff liked Sullins and with the S&C improvements he may be seriously pushing McNeil.

To answer the other poster, McNeil has always struggled to gain and maintain weight. That opens the door when the coach is intent on having a real competition for playing time.

Absolutely agree, since day one, weight has been an issue here. He's a workout warrior, but that warrior attitude seems to be confined to the weight room. While intelligence is needed at the center position, you have to deal with a lot of "beef". And this coaching staff is demanding the O-line have a nasty streak, not sure that's in the kid. Has OhioVol broke this guy down yet, would like to know his opinion on McNeil?

Poor coverage for yesterday's practice. No video interviews, highlights, or photos. Very little in print too.

Guess the press was busy covering Pearl story. Or did LK tone down the coverage?

I need my fix.

I'm a little surprised that McNeil is at such a light body weight....280lbs?!? That's tiny for an OL in the SEC. Wasn't he playing last year at around 295? Anyway, I hope he can add some bulk before opending kickoff this season.

That's a concern with McNeil too, that he is too small. He generally starts the season at his biggest, and as the season progresses, he loses a lot of weight. Starting light is a little disconcerting, but we'll see.

edit: just noticed sjt's comments about McNeil, sorry for the redundancy. With that being said, I still think McNeil will be starting against wku

I've read that McNeil's mean streak is pretty much what got him this far. He's just limited by his size which according to one report is a function of a very high metabolism.

"For Kicks: Daniel Lincoln missed two mid-range field goals and had one blocked before nailing a 46 yarder"

Lincoln is going to give me an ulser. :mega_shok:
