Also Bryan Bulaga, Jake Long, and Joe Thomas all had arms that were less than 33 in.

I said under 33".

As you can see by reading the links, none of the 3 players you listed, nor the player in the article had shorter than 33" arms. Thank you for further proving my point.

So if a guy has 32 1/2 inch ares the colts shouldnt draft him?


Thats what you said. Bulaga playing right now doesnt measure up according to a bs number.

Bulaga's arms were 33.25", which is at or above 33". Learn to read.

For all that celebrate it, HAPPY EASTER. For all that do not, Happy Sunday.

And happy easter to you

Daily Mailbag: The insanity of short arms

Thank you, thank you, Mallory of St. Paul, for providing me the opportunity to address the most ridiculous thing I heard or read during the NFL draft. Take it away, Mallory:

I've heard a lot of various experts and analysts project that Green Bay's Bryan Bulaga will struggle to adapt to left tackle in the NFL due to short arms. But, checking combine numbers, his arms (33 1/4") were longer than NFL left tackles Joe Thomas (32 1/2") and Jake Long (32 7/8").

Both of these guys are able to play left tackle effectively in the NFL regardless of their arm length, so why are people making such a big deal about this? Is there really a huge correlation between "arm length" and being effective as a left tackle in the NFL? Is Bulaga being unfairly criticized because he attended the same school and played the same position as notorious NFL bust Robert Gallery (32 1/4" arms)?

And that

Happy Easter Freaks!

People make a big deal out of it because DEs are getting longer and longer. If the DE has longer arms, he can keep the tackle at length and the tackle can’t get in close to block the body. Now is this the defining trait, no. You don’t like to see short arms at either position. Length means you can control the person opposite you better. But as long as the guy doesn’t have t-Rex arms, he should be ok if he is superior in other areas like balance and footwork.

I know. There are some really good football players who didnt check off all the boxes, but were a basic nightmare to their opponents. Anyone remember what Jeff Saturday did to Trevor Pryce in a playoff game?
