2023 Spring Practice Notes - Offensive Line

[Red Five]

Seeing rumblings that our new transfer center was injured yesterday.  Hopefully its a baseless rumor, but if true hopefully its minor.

Wrong sport.  Dickinson is a 7' basketball center.

From the post practice PC Saturday Rhule said Ben Scott “got rolled up on” during Thursday’s practice.

 

There was some initial concern about the injury but he will only miss about a week, and it was nothing long-term.

Apparently the OL is not longer wearing knee braces all the time.  That's become pretty common as a preventative measure.

Interesting.  Has it been shown that they actually don't help prevent injuries?

There isn't an obvious right answer. Far fewer small injuries but the severe ones are worse. Essentially, when the brace fails all of the force that it had taken gets transferred into the knee at once.

Scott was back at practice this morning, wearing a green limited-contact jersey.  Teddy also still in a green jersey.

Rhule again spoke about how good he thinks the OL is....makes me feel a little better. Also mentioned that Benhart is a "pro player"

Supposedly Benhart has slimmed down a lot, almost unrecognizable without his jersey number.

 

And hopefully Campbell has got those cinder blocks off Benhart’s feet.

When Farniok was drafted the 1st thing the cowboys told him was that he needed to lose weight. With a new S&C this offensive line could be much improved.
