Are two good moves that are predicated off OTs respecting Hutch's weakness, combined with plus hands and an elite motor, enough to be a stud NFL player? It's a fair question.

We have been saying the same thing, agreed.

I was listening to 1010 today and the scout they had on was explaining how arms affect a DE. They use them to disengage and keep their feet clear.  In the pros you need to be able to extend them to keep from being chest to chest with the tackle. In that position your feet are too close and your basically stuck not being able to get off the block.  If you look at the games Hutch had issues that's what was going on.  Sayer would get to him and Hutch couldn't get off the block till the running back had passed by. That said, I believe against the run Walker and Hutch are pretty much equal with Thibs behind. Rushing the passer I would say Thibs #1, Hutch #2 and Walker gets an incomplete as he really wasn't asked to do that in the Georgia defense. They had him hanging out by the tackle covering 2 gaps most the time. For those of you with arm fetishes his are in the 95th percentile at 35 1/2 inches.
