Richie Incognito is also a question mark. He can play either center or guard and Sparano said he is not 100 percent certain which one he'll play yet.
John Jerry? He was a right guard last year. The Dolphins want him to win a guard job this year and pay dividends on his draft stock and potential. But to do that he has to strengthen his core, according to the coach."He plays too bent," Sparano said. "I want him to play more erect."
OooooooK. :no:

I'm confused. Soooooo "bent" is the catcher and "erect" is the pitcher in this scenario?
-
Makes perfect sense really.
-
Jake Long is very erect.

Okay..... I just go to say it....

Seriously though, using sexual innuendo isn't how you gain respect amongst the NFL community... come on Tony, stop loafing around. -

I also noticed Jerry curved somewhat to the right on his blocks.

Okay, to salvage this topic's original purpose....
Most likely, he's talking about Jerry's stance, which he believes need to be changed. -
I think he's talking about the difference between a blocker being a waist bender or a knee bender. You want a linemen to bend at the knees when he's blocking. It's considered a bad habit to bend at the waist.
I don't really agree with the flexibility thing. There are some players better than some positions than others, but there are going to be guys who would excel wherever you put them who don't get moved around because they are A). At the highest value position already, or B). Teams don't wanna play with success.
Look at Damien Woody. The guy has played at least a season at LG, C, RG, and RT and done well at all of them. I don't think anyone in the world thought he was going to be anything but an emergency stopgap at RT for the Jets, but he's been very good.ToddsPhins likes this. -

At least he's not coming (sp) out of his stance early.

At least he doesn't prefer a "wide" stance.

Sanchez might only need 8 inches to score, but Ryan'll take a foot.MikeHoncho likes this. -
