[grizatwork]

if he has the mind set,,,,become a left offensive tackle, all american etc...sign big nfl contract....i think left tackles are about the 2nd highest paid players in the league......well we can dream,,,,if he is indeed that athletic.....

My college teammate's son converted from TE to o-line (tackle) after his frosh season (after spring ball). Pitt shares trading facilities with the Steelers. After he bulked up during his frosh summer, he ran into the Steelers head coach, who noticed how much bigger he had gotten. He told the coach he had moved to tackle. Tomlin said "that's the best financial decision you'll ever make in your life". Started 3 years at tackle and came out a year early to the NFL draft. Ran 4.80 and 4.82 40's at the Combine. See contract below.

2018 Cash Payout: $1,764,828
Total Contract Value: $4,406,640
Annual Contract Value: $1,101,660
Position Ranking: 6/18 at RT
Fully Guaranteed Money: $2,145,593

Was the DE player of the year in football and basketball. Played with the Villanova point guard, Divenzo, in high school basketball.

Those are right tackle numbers. Left tackles get paid big money compared to right tackles. I think the average for a left tackle is in the 10 to 12 million dollar range. These numbers will be a little off since rookie contracts are capped for the first 3 years.

Heres an article on it from SBNATION.

Blindside for right handed QBs needs max protection

 

[grizatwork]

90 plus percent of quarterbacks are right handed, so having your most athletic offensive lineman watching his blind side makes them more marketable. If you read the article, you see teams are adjusting by switching rush backer in a 3-4 to the right side and overpowering the right tackle. Really the reason the Broncos beat the Panthers a couple years ago in the super bowl. . Miller abused the right tackleand was the difference in the game.

Good point.

1987. There's a good ESPN 30 for 30. Year of the Scab about it. Yes basis of The Replacements.

Hard to think a guy two years in a row third on Northens depth chart would be able to play QB. Not only are the NAIA but not a good one.

Dillon red-shirted as a True Frosh, and competed last season at Northern as a R-Fr and yes, ended up 3rd on the depth chart. Not too bad since there was a Junior already on the team, and two transfers came in as well (a former JC starter and a FBS Preferred Walk-on from PAC 12 Washington State. Also not too bad since Dillon missed his entire HS SR season (receiving a season ending injury in the very first quarter of the very first game of the year). He was a dominant Junior QB (lead Class AA). I agree with the guy that said (and has first hand knowledge of) Dillon is crazy athletic for his size. I often thought to myself that he would be a nightmare to tackle when he took off. He stands 6'7" now and can move. He is a good kid, has good grades. His older brother, Dallas, was the better HS QB however. Don't get me wrong though, I am thoroughly excited and interested to see how this Dillon situation plays out at UM!

To the rest of the board, QB Dallas had offer type interest from colleges (all levels) in high school. He was a phenom. He went to highly competitive summer camps and often would end up ranked at the top and near the top at his position. FBS schools just couldn't offer because Dallas's ACT score was too low. I know for a fact UM wanted him. He turned them down, and went the JC Route. Then come time to transfer to a 4-year NCAA school he didn't qualify. He attempted NAIA MT Tech, but school is not his thing. Nor is it everyone's. It's a shame he didn't play college on a big stage (UM, FBS), talented kid.

For those curious about the brothers (Dallas) road:

https://mtstandard.com/sports/college/frontier-conference/montana-tech/dallas-cook-officially-joins-montana-tech/article_87a8a676-74e5-5844-8bee-df317e1f1e1a.html

Dallas Cook officially joins Montana Tech

Ron Balaskovitz The Montana Standard Aug 13, 2016

In 2013, former Butte High quarterback Dallas Cook set a state record when he threw for 4,145 yards.

For the few dozen fans who turned out for Montana Tech's practice and scrimmage on Saturday, there was a familiar face back on the field in Butte, but was now in the green and white rather than the familiar purple and white.

Dallas Cook, one of the most prolific passers in Butte High and Montana high school football history was suited up in the No. 9 practice jersey for the Orediggers, and showed off the tight spiral and arm strength that made him a hot commodity out of high school and while at North Dakota State College of Science.

Cook, who had Division 1 interest out of high school and following his time at NDSCS, has officially joined the Montana Tech football team.

"We’re excited," Tech head coach Chuck Morrell said of Cook joining the team. "He’s obviously a talented young man and has a great skill set."

Cook, who set 14 Montana state records in his time at Butte, as well as the single game record for TD passes in a game at NDSCS, will have to sit out this season due to a redshirt to focus on his grades, but will still have two years of eligibility left after the redshirt year.

"He’s going to take a redshirt year this year and focus on taking care of school," Morrell added. " so it’s something certainly down the road we’ll be looking forward to."

Cook did not take any snaps in the scrimmage session of Saturday's practice, but gained some extra reps in the passing drills that opened the day due to backup quarterback Dawson Reardon sitting out for the day.

Dallas' brother Dylan is also a Frontier Conference quarterback and is entering his freshman year at MSU-Northern following his career at Butte High.

Awesome write up Intuitive , why people judge a kid by what a parent says makes no sense to me.
Kinda reminds me of the kid losing his sponsorship in NASCAR from what his grandfather said 10 years before he was born !
Will be fun to see what the kid does .

Movie to watch: The Blind Side, with the dramatized story of NFL tackle Michael Oher (decent career, good money, now a free agent, I believe). Some quibbled about the portrayal, on various grounds, mostly racial. According to Wikipedia, Oher himself disliked the way the film suggested that he knew basically nothing about football techniques when he got his first formal coaching.

Other than the quibbles, very much a movie worth watching. (Nothing gets blown up, so I guess it's out of the "mainstream.")
