And yeah, he was working out with Kittle and Tonyan“He went from 135 pounds to 325 pounds on the bench press. All the guys can bench press 300 pounds but not all the guys add 200 pounds to their bench press in an offseason. He jumped 39 inches; it was probably 40 but we ran out of room to measure his and Kittle’s verticals. They both broad-jumped 11 feet and on top of that he weighed in heavier than he has in the past.”
Man, should we apologize for not being excited for Burks at all? I'm to the point where I need to see something from him on the football field. Currently, I actively forget that he's on the roster still.YoHoChecko wrote: ↑18 Aug 2020 13:36Oren Burks apparently couldn't bench more than 135 last season due to his recovery from the torn pec. ESPN has one of those typical "he's in the best shape he's ever been" profiles, but it sounds like his weight is up to the mid-240s without losing any time or inches off of his combine measureables.

No need to apologize. He should apologize to us by showing he can make plays. We will quickly love him if he plays competent at ILB2. I will be happy to say sowwy at that point.TheGreenMan wrote: ↑18 Aug 2020 13:42Man, should we apologize for not being excited for Burks at all?

So yeah, he looked lost, at times, last year... but how do you really look in sync, when your primary concern is your impacted physicality?YoHoChecko wrote: ↑18 Aug 2020 13:36Oren Burks apparently couldn't bench more than 135 last season due to his recovery from the torn pec.

He’s always looked like a workout warrior with A+ measurables to me. It’s the areas of instinct like play recognition ability, and nose for the football that I am looking to see improvements in.YoHoChecko wrote: ↑18 Aug 2020 13:36Oren Burks apparently couldn't bench more than 135 last season due to his recovery from the torn pec.

Hard to show those things when you are physically limited, though.Drj820 wrote: ↑18 Aug 2020 13:45He’s always looked like a workout warrior with A+ measurables to me.

For sure nobody has a left a game, looking like a horrible injury, and then coming back 3 plays or less later.
He always fights through it though. Mamba mentality. There’s no quit in his game. Respect the toughness.
I'm being completely honest with myself, the optics appeared there were times he took the liberty of making a "nick" appear worse than it was. Because again the optics.lupedafiasco wrote: ↑18 Aug 2020 21:01He always fights through it though. Mamba mentality. There’s no quit in his game. Respect the toughness.

Nitschke made it to the Hall of Fame playing on one leg. And Butkus made it to the Hall of Fame playing with no knees. So what's the problem here?Yoop wrote: ↑19 Aug 2020 08:53I always hoped Burks would take and keep the ILB 2 spot the last couple years, now this gives some incite to why that didn't happen, hopefully he stays healthy and does so this year, physical ability makes him one of the best prospects we've had in many years, he and KIrksey together could make ILB a very good unit for years.
