Quote:You may have an argument that Beasley isn't big enough to set an edge - that remains to be seen and is still an unknown. The argument that he isn't strong enough is a joke though. Beasley benched more than every other defensive lineman and linebacker in the entire combine, including nose tackles. He's plenty strong enough.

I'm glad you brought that up. Benching 225 lbs 35x or whatever it was is impressive but Beasley does not play that strong. He gets stood up so many times when his speed rush fails him and it will fail him even more once he's in the league.


Note: Benching 225 lbs 35x has more to do with stamina and endurance than it does pure strength so don't confuse the two. Boselli benched only 23x I believe. All you have to do is be strong enough which Fowler is. Fowler is much stronger between the lines than Beasley and that's all that matters in my book.
