I haven't taken a live snap of football in 10 years.
I can still remember my landmarks.
You could grab Whitworth or Joe Thomas in April and ask them to hit their drops, and ABC steps and they would never miss a beat.
Doesn't your last point kind of defeat the purpose of the first?
They don't stop doing this for 6 months. If they do, then they aren't as committed to it as they should be and that's a bigger problem.
Yea and a Joe Whtiworth or Joe Thomas have been practicing their form as a professional for over 10 years now. Of course they could do it in their sleep. Ob came into the league as a mechanically underdeveloped guy with the physical tools to succeed. If he's going to show significant improvement in that regard, it's likely going to be in his sophomore year here. I'm not ready to write him off. I'm not disagreeing that he still has a long way to go. But you seem determined to feed into the pessimism of your fellow board members, when one can logically deduce that it is still possible for him to excel this year and contribute to the team positively.
