If a tackle has a DE in his chest, he's already lost the battle. I also wish they had a standard way to test core strength. That is such a valuable part of functional strength (and one Bodine lacked)

There are lifts that have been around forever, that do just that.  The power clean, the hang clean, the front squat, the overhead squat.  If I were to pick a pair, to measure functional strength of an OL candidate, I would go with power clean and front squat.
