Martinas Rankin

[WSOPdawg]

I just can't forget the "statue pose" during the Auburn game when the DE ran untouched and unopposed around the outside to the QB as if Rankin's feet were entrenched in concrete. I know I gotta let that go because apparently Martinas is good, but maybe putting him at Center hides some footwork issues(???).

You sure about that? The t.v crew ran it back a couple of times. One of the worst plays by a OL player I've ever seen. I guess he improved as the year went on?

Same here Bully, I was like WTF was that and did I just see what I thought I saw? But again, if he's developed THAT much, then great for us. I'll just need to see it to believe it. But I do agree that Rankin and Jenkins on the left side of the OL were top-shelf at the end of last season so there is that.

He was pretty good by year end. But yea ... that was a TERRIBLE play.

ETA: I will admit tho that I am pretty surprised he's rated that highly in the draft. I would've thought more middle rounds than 1 or 2.

I don't think Rankin plays center. If he does though, that could actually help a late 1st/2nd round guy like him... shows he has versatility. He certainly wouldn't be no higher than late 1st if he plays center this year though

Allegedly that was more on Nick not varying the snap count. Not sure what the truth is on that but it may not be his fault after all.

What? Everyone else went. We had ten players moving, and he was the only one posing.
