When Creed was going through his process, I got some of the most ignorant statements/questions from a few coaches & decision makers:
1) “Make sure you teach him how to snap with his right hand or he won’t make it”
2) “How will he overcome that limited frame, he’s very sawed off”
3) “We ain’t drafting him to be an elite athlete, but will he at least come close to breaking a 5.35”
To this point, it was fun to see TBook and V interact and collaborate this summer during training. Both guys are cut from the same cloth! Ravens and Cowboys should be excited
🔬... something has been on my mind a lot lately so i'll verbalize it here:
the fact that, only one year later, Tyler Booker has so instantly and effectively stepped in and lived up to his first-round pick status that we, collectively, haven't uttered a word of concern about the daunting task of replacing Zack Martin.
🤔... sit with that for just one moment and consider how unreal that was for a rookie. #Cowboys #TimeForYear2
One of the things that makes the OL Masterminds room different every year is the duality of the people in it.
Scott Wells and Clint Boling brought 20 combined NFL seasons and 275 NFL starts to the room. That experience alone has tremendous value. https://t.co/XusZxNHdS3

Was going through some old photos yesterday of guys I’ve worked with and came across this gem 💎 @GettyImages
Man this use to be a physical battle between 78 & 99

NEW Pass Pro Lab: Ted Karras
The Bengals center joined me to break down his pass-protection tape and discuss the coaching, preparation and technique behind a 10-year NFL career & counting.
We covered Dante Scarnecchia, staying square, handling twists, helping guards and his weekly film-study process.

I’ve studied both of these guys extensively and work with them in different stages of their careers.
What’s always stood out is the intentionality.
Zack mastered efficiency. There was never wasted movement. Every set, every strike, every adjustment had a purpose. His consistency wasn’t accidental. It was built through thousands of disciplined reps.
Quinn brings a different personality to the position, but the same commitment to mastery. He’s unorthodox, yet relentless about development, curious enough to challenge his own game, and humble enough to keep learning despite already being one of the best in the world.
That’s why this moment was so special.
It wasn’t just a jersey swap. It was one young elite player acknowledging a legend while recognizing that this position only gets better when knowledge is shared instead of protected.
That’s the standard inside @OLMasterminds
The greatest offensive linemen I’ve been around don’t spend their time guarding information. They leave the position better than they found it.
That’s how legacies are built.
