Welcome Max Tuerk, C, USC

[6025]

I've always been a yuge Bolts fan. Yuge. I was telling people the other day how much I love San Diego. I have a lot of friends there. Lot of friends. They tell me that people are just pouring over the border down there. It's just a shame. Just pouring over like blood out of Megyn Kelly's eyes and out of her whatever. But Denver, I gotta tell ya. That Elway is a crooked guy. You just can't trust him. He's a dirty guy. If you ever criticize him he just plays the woman card. That's all he's got, really. If he wasn't a woman, nobody would like him. Because he's a horse. And you can't trust a horse these days, because they all come from China. And Mexico. And that's why we've gotta build a wall. A WALL! We gotta keep these bad horses out because they keep playing the woman card. Bobby Knight knows all about women. And horses. And chairs, too. That's why he's endorsed me. He was a great football coach and he knows how to win. I hope he gets his new stadium out there, because I have a lot of friends out there. Lot of friends. But I've always been a yuge fan. Yuge.

What do you think of Elway's eating habits?

[Boltjolt]

hmm...So he needs to put more weight on while recovering from ACL surgery. Fuck. Does sound desperate of TT.

Hardwick weighed 295 when we drafted him. Get Tuerk to add 10 Lbs and he is fine. Max Unger is 6'5", 305

Tuerk says it's a dream come true. He's a So Cal boy and hoped it would be the Chargers calling. Has attended a few Chargers games

Max Tuerk says he was extremely nervous watching the draft. "When I got the call, I don't have any words to describe it. An amazing feeling"

Telesco on Tuerk "We see him as a center...as a rookie, we'll groove him at 1 spot for now." Interesting- something they didn't do w/Watt

[Bolt-O]

Tuerk "I'm extremely versatile, extremely athletic. Big part of playing center is being able to read defenses." Cites his IQ & run blocking

Coach D wanted to make sure his guys were incompetent at multiple spots.

Prisco Grade:

Coming off an ACL, and he's tall for center, but he can play all the line spots. Versatility is key. B

Tuerk will be ok when he gets in weight room and puts some weight on. I hate drafting for need. I have to say if we are executing our board then we can't complain

[SDFan]

Tall yes, but not as light as Hardwick out of college. Hardwick was smart, and had a wrestling background to work on. But, this was a position of immense need despite what SDFan may say. Our centers since Hardwick left have sucked.

did you spend all your time away smoking bong hits with EE420 & Tunsil? I've been wanting an upgrade at Center since Hardwick was still playing. Thought we should have went hard after Pouncy years ago, and was hoping the Wat? experiment was over and we would take Kelley or Martin.

[Wheels]

His movement skills sound intriguing. Plus we have some pretty large guards, so maybe an agile center is a nice compliment. But 300 isn't so undersized. In the end, this seems like basically a hedge on Watt's future development and ability to stay healthy.

[Marshall/Boogie]

Watching his highlights, I was pretty shocked how a guy that tall can and move like he does.
ACLs are always a concern, but medical advancements and such... he apparently was having a heck of a year before the injury.

I'm warming to the pick. I need to watch more film on him. I guess I felt so positive that we were gonna get someone like Martin or Whitehair, that I kinda went meh with Max T.

I did want and predict interior OL, so I don't know why I'm so meh on him. Probably the ACL, and the tall for a center thing...

However, he definitely doesn't move/pull like he's 6'5" -- more like he's 6'1" or something. Quicker than expected. What's his recover time table? I want some holes for Gordon to exploit finally. And PR with more time.

I'm rambling and drunk. Mevermind

[Steve]

Do any of you have any idea how many C in the NFL can pull and lead? If there are 2 right now, I would be surprised. This guy is a rare find. And if we stick with our outside zone (and we probably will considering we just drafted one of the better blockers in the TE class), this guy is going to be incredibly valuable. He is going to be getting out in front of Gordon on the outside zone play leading it down the sidelines.

The draftniks (and some scouts) get obsessed about a guys weight. It is a very rare player who comes out of college and doesn't put on some weight after they spend time with NFL nutritionists and in an NFL weight room. Usually, it is much harder for them to keep it off, not put it on.
