Speaking of Korey Stringer, if any of these guys are as good as him... we'll be doing just fine... Ironically, Dryden, I think CB40 is right... its pretty hard to quantify... (though you left out Big Ten Offensive player of the year in '96 ) the guy was just unbelievable. |

There was a Monday night game two years ago where the Rams played the Colts. Coming into that game, Dwight Freeney was riding a high -- leading the NFL in sacks. What was his line after matching up against Orlando Pace? One tackle and a forced fumble. That's it! One lousy tackle! I just find it hard to believe, as with Alex Boone before, that anyone can go to a high school game, or watch a few games worth of high school film, and compare a kid dominating his high school division to one of the most dominant OTs to go through college and the NFL, for the last 14 years running (barring his triceps injuries). Compare Adams to Stringer, or Joe Thomas, or Jake Long, or anybody else that is really, really good. But Pace is on another level, and any comparison to him is way premature. |

Not sure how to post YouTube right in the post, but here is a quick video on Orlando Pace with some commentary from some former Buckeyes.

If you watch those videos of Mike you do see a lot of Orlando Pace "qualities" in him. He hardly ever just blocks one guy. He slides to another defender almost every running play. The guys he's blocking dont get near the quarter back, ever. The thing I see in Mike right now that is not Pace like is the finish on some plays. He makes a big hit on the guy he's blocking but doesnt always drive him with his legs. That will definitely change at the next level. Mikes pass blocking is way beyond anyone else we have coming in or any other high school player I've watched video on anyway.
To be like Orlando Pace he'll have to work his tail off for sure. Anyone want to bet that Mike wears that #75 for a reason though. |

Rivals $
Film. Watch this film and then convince me this kid is not a Top 100 player in the nation...somehow Rivals came to that conclusion. |

Aren't Shugarts and Brewster coming in early?
They would get a jump on Adams. And Skinner can't seem to stay healthy............. |

As for Skinner lets just hope for the best, b/c I truly believe he is one of our best returning lineman next year... If he doesn's play tackle I believe he plays guard... |
