Re: Nose Tackle update
God damn it it matters! Is he 6 feet tall or 5'10" or somewhere in between??? Why is it so damned hard to get to the truth of things anymore?
Re: Nose Tackle update
Regardless, it sounds like he's got his work cut out for him.

Re: Nose Tackle update
somewhere in between. Figure this: there is NO WAY they will list him below what he is, so if he was really 6', they wouldn't list him at 5'10". I assume it goes by the man code of driver's licenses... if you're 5'10 1/4", you list yourself at 5'11"... so he's taller than 5'10" but shorter than 5'11 1/4"Sibelius Hindemith wrote: ↑Mon May 15, 2023 8:09 pmGod damn it it matters!

My guess: 5'10 1/2", and he got measured with shoes one time at 6'0" and somebody ran with that.

Apparentlly, despite having a small wingspan, he has huge hands.

The team just announced that they have signed two new players: former Raiders defensive end Mario Edwards Jr. as well as nose tackle Forrest Merrill.

Re: Nose Tackle update
Mario Edwards Jr. had a 56.0 PFFgrade last year and a 50.4 in 2021. - useful pick-up given that their depth there sucks.
Forrest Merrill didn't even play last year and had a 31.9 PFF grade in 2021. - trash heap

Re: Nose Tackle update
Let's say a guy weighs 300 pounds. Adding 16 pounds is like 5% of his body weight. That translates to 10 pounds for someone weighing 200 pounds. On a fit person, the extra weight is nearly nothing. And there is a good possibility on a 23 year old that extra weight is mostly muscle. Is there anything you like about Seattle Sports are you here just to be a Debbie Downer?
Re: Nose Tackle update
Seems to me strength is more important than weight at that size. Does a Center really notice whether a guy weighs 300lb or 315lbs or does he notice if the guy can knock him on his ass with sheer strength or not.
