Hurts in the weight room

[owenfieldreams]

I'm not skilled enough to transport this over but if one of you nice folks want to go to The Football Brainiacs site and open up their Friday news section you will scroll down to two videos on Jalen in the OU weight room dazzling his teammates.

He did that at Bama quite a bit, too - he's been a serious power lifter since HS.

We have a few more guys on our roster that would blow your boys away in the weight room

He is a strong young man.

Unfortunately, as a QB he should have been spending some of that time in the film room learning how to read defenses...not to mention on the practice field learning how to throw a receiver open. He's a great person and team player...not too sure he will measure up to the 2 past OU QB's.

Really? That's your response?

Nothing but respect for JH, I wish him the best at OU.

He's gonna shame his OL if they aren't serious in the weight room.

If you meant to hit "reply with quote" to a post above so we would know exactly to which post you are referring, I'm going to assume the answer is "yes".

Really due? Uncalled for. That wasn't even necessary to say that. We are not going to get into it, but bottom line.. Jalen improved a lot last year.. and he won a game for us against Georgia. He will improve a lot under Lincoln Riley. I enjoy watching Hurts having fun at his new school and It's great to see him fitting in with the guys. He will do well. he does not need to be compared to the previous Qb. he just need to be who he is.. and let that take care of itself.

It's called his opinion...you don't have to agree with it...

Really? That's your response?

Thanks for the link

I knew he should have been a linebacker.:wink:

 

[BamaJama17]

Jalen will do great at OU. Idk if he will duplicate what Mayfield or Murray did but he will be just fine. Good luck OU.

 

[CrimsonEyeshade]

Oklahoma already is making Jalen soft. Took him a lot longer to lift that weight than it did with Cochran screaming in his ear.:biggrin:

 

[UntouchableCrew]

He's a beast. Can't think of many QBs that could legitimately play 3-4 other positions.

 

[Bazza]

Rock star!

I'm sorry...I thought this was a discussion board...I was just noting that his previously noted deficiencies -- which, yes, he has begun to address -- were more of a need for him than lifting 500 lbs. I've known golfers who could drive it 330 but not make a 3 foot putt under pressure...yet they would keep practicing with the driver. When we only do what we can do well and easily, we can bet that we are not working on our deficiencies.

How hard is that to understand?

For a relatively new member your response was not appropriate. He is a long time member and respected poster who expressed his opinion which I happen to agree with.
