OT: Marshal Yanda, Iowa

[buffalobills18]

What do you guys think of this guy?

Marshall Yanda/OL/Iowa: Graded as a marginal free-agent prospect at the start of the season, Yanda is now getting first-day consideration. After winning the starting tackle spot for the Hawkeyes, he has been impressive all year. Several invitations to events such as the Senior Bowl and Combine now await him. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/football/nfl/10/26/pauline.midseason/index.html

here is a small clip of him

this guy looks like a beast, i think that he is just what we need to shore up our o-line to help out mcgahee with the run and jp with the pass, i heard on the news the coach ferentz said that marshal should recieve 1st team honors and he is the only one he mentioned from iowa when asked who should recieve honors, iowa is known for producing good olinemen and this looks like a really good one, i say go for him, sounds like a first or second round pick and i think he is worth every bit of it. I am a hawkeye fan and i have been watching him all year, i think the only word for him is solid, he has a good motor and never gives up, rarely gets beat, and normally pancakes his guys.

this site has what ferentz said about him and some of what marshal had to say

he and the rest of the hawkeyes perfected their holding techniqwue against the buckeyes otherwise drew tate woudl have been knocked out of the game before he could throw another hissy fit

I still think Ferentz would be a good NFL coach.

[McGaheeMan1208]

i think ferentz would b a good head coach too, but he isn't going anywhere untill his kids r out of school, too much money with good job security, i just hope we get our o line fixed after this year and yanda is a good way to start, then we will c the real buffalo bills, i would like to c two good linemen picked this year and i think we will not have to worry bout protection anymore, look at all the teams starting rook lineman and it has helped them tons

and I'm saying the linemen from iowa are crap

[McGaheeMan1208]

He would make a great OG, he has good speed. I know id rather have him than gandy.

by the way if u r such an expert u would know that there is holding on every play in the nfl and in college, it just matters how bad it is, and more than that if the ref even see's it, every lineman holds, u will c, yanda is good, everyone of the ohio state lineman holds, everybody does, so that is not a valid complaint, what matters is that he gets pancakes and rarely lets in a sack

I'm all about Iowa boys. They make good football players. He's a true Iowa raised farm boy, I'd take him on day 2.
