Thus far unheralded offensive lineman Charlie Tanner has turned in a
terrific workout. Tanner started the day by completing 35 reps on the
bench, posted a vertical jump of 36 inches then ran his 40 in times as
fast as 5.06 seconds. His official average times for the two runs will
be in the range of 5.12 seconds. His ten yard split was 1.72 seconds.
Tanner’s short shuttle time was also a very solid 4.55 seconds.
04/01/2010 - PRO DAY RESULTS: 79 scouts and coaches representing 30
teams (the Rams and Lions were the only two not represented), including
three head coaches, came together to watch. G Charlie Tanner (6-3 7/8,
305) ran 5.20 and 5.12 in the 40. Tanner posted a 36-inch vertical jump,
a 9-foot, 3-inch broad jump and a 4.38-second short shuttle ??? all
numbers that would have put him in the top-10 amongst offensive linemen
at the combine. His vertical jump would have beaten out Oklahoma T Trent
Williams' top mark of 34 1/2 inches, while his 4.38-second short shuttle
would have shattered the best mark at the combine ??? a time of 4.51
second set by Arizona State OL Shawn Lauvao. Combined with a 5.20 and
5.12 in the 40, Tanner certainly helped his stock Wednesday. - Gil

any idea how long his arms are ?
??????????????????
I found this on a Lions Blog. They were talking about drafting with
their 7th pick:
G. Mcoy was asked by the nfl network at the combine who was the
toughest olineman u ever played against?
His answer was Charlie tanner : Guard
university of texas
Nice get, Jughead. How was he as a player? Numbers are nice and
reflect the athleticism of a player but they don't tell you squat
about how he actually preformed in his collegiate career.
As a Texan, I assume that you've seen him in action. What did you
notice *about his play* that would suggest that he might have a chance
to make this team? At best, he'd be a # 4 on the depth chart and,
even if he's good, would then be consigned to the PS. Or is he
really good enough to leapfrog Clausen, Ducasse AND Moore? If not we
have to stash him as best as we can.
I hear that Burf has a JC routine that he's gonna try out.
I saw UT a few times this year but I am terrible about watching line
play closely unless I have reason to focus, like the Jets, because I
care. So my answer is I don't know. There is a reason he wasn't drafted
as it isn't like no scouts watched UT tape this year but we can always hope.

Update, his arms are too short to box with God.
I am not the Neanderthal I project. This morning I even got out of the
shower & then took a leak.
lots about arms follows lots about offensive line prospects which in
turn follows who can play guard vs. who can play on the outside.
if i was jeff ireland i guess may be i could ask about the length of
his johnson
But since even though they had Colt McCoy and Shipley they could not run
the ball, likely not.

If he wasn't picked there was a reason but don't underestimate what a
bad football coach Mack Brown is on the field. He is clueless but has
great recruits, great program, and would make most big programs better.
& really if he had any RB's didn't use them but that wouldn't be the
first time.
Thanks so much for the laughs, guys. Well greased sickness, the lot a
youse. :)
