And as far as recovering when the defender beats him off the block that is all about footwork instead of arm length. You can't "reach" to maintain a block. It is all about moving the feet. Long arms are basically only a big advantage in pass blocking to keep the defender from getting his hands on you.
Bodine does not have poor hand strength, and if he does lack core strength then even you agree that that can be corrected.
Short arms have everything to do with an initial punch when it's slow and the defender gets his hands on Bodine first and he can't recover.
Then why do defenders get off his blocks easily when Bodine does make the block?
