The next Norwell? He looks hungry and ready to eat anyone in his way. I’m all for it because I feel the loss or Norwell was far more significant than many people here seemed to give credit for. 

I believe the strength of the team, offensively and defensively is based on the strength of the line.

I don't see how that possible when the entire huddle has been hyperventilating about losing Norwell for months now.

I mean, I haven’t seen it, but different people see things different.

Am I right in saying that it's not holding as long as he keeps his hands under the pads?

I sat here for like 5 minutes thinking that you had used bad grammar in the title and about how nice it was that Kyle Love was about to get his friend a tryout with the team and how awesome it is that the guy got an invite to camp.

The way I understand it, extend your arms forward into the front numbers of the defender, and you are fine--reach (hook, for example) outside of that zone and you get flagged.  That is why feet are so important-it allows you to keep your hands inside as the player moves--Friendly does a great job because he moves his feet, keeps his hands inside the frame, and does not give ground (keeps his base).  He does, however, give too much of a drop for an interior lineman.  The QB does not need the pocket to collapse from the inside because it sends him back into the DE / OT traffic and makes it difficult to see blitzes--this from friends of mine who played in the NFL and on my college team.  Not trying to be a know it all, just sharing my understanding.

Looks powerful; it also looks like he's been in the NFL for a few years and is short for an OL.  Power to him, maybe he excels and makes the team! Maybe not.
