With his short arms, he's expected to struggled against long arm OTs (like Zach Strief)...
I'll just leave it here ...

Trey Hendrickson arm length: 32"

Derek Barnett arm length: 32 1/8"

If Trey develops proper technique, he will create space and openings to beat his man on a consistent basis.

Coach em up (see new D line coach Ryan Nielsen).

Expecting a lot from our new D line coach Ryan Nielsen and New LB coach Mike Nolan.

Some things just don't make sense huh K? Now that I think about it, the tyrannosaurus had short arms too.

Re: 2017 Draft Day 2 - Rounds 2 and 3

Hendrickson is an inch taller, ran .2 secs quicker in the 40, verticled him by 2 inches, and broad jumped him by 5 inches, .22 secs quicker in the 20 yard shuffle, .1 sec slower in the three cone drill,

Lack of technique and playing at a C-USA school seems to be his downfall...

I guarantee next year the Saints will be drafting a DE/PR in the first 2 rounds, because they seal leaks with ducktape

Hey, I love the pick, have been talking about this kid for months, and you can go back to the posts...

I was just asked what was the knock and why he fell to the third I'm just telling you what the scouts were seeing...

In fact, I wanted two (2) DEs in this draft, and Trey was one of the two I wanted...

I ended up buying a round last night instead of going home and drawing a hot Roman bath (I kid, I kid)...

Actually love our front four now only I'd like to have grabbed another Cam Jordan to play behind, and opposite, Cam Jordan...

And then you'd had Okafor and Hendrickson on Ready-5; maybe Zimmer can step up and allow Ony to kick outside?

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Bunch of new folks on the coaching staff whose resumes look a lot stouter than duct tape. That's where our hemorrhages have really been happening. We could very well be at the point of having the luxury of shopping for an as yet unneeded successor to Drew in a very good draft class of QBs next year.

I'm just turning a negative into a positive. Trey will benefit by having a good D line coach to help him with his craft. I've already read posters compare Trey to Tull (which is unfair). Tull didn't even have a pass rushing technique. If he had no speed, he wouldn't have won any one on one battles.

I think Mitch or Hagan uploaded a tape on new D line hire Nielsen where he was coaching "one arm is longer than two", which means to engage in with a single arm and body and not allow offensive lineman to get both hands inside the shoulder pad/chest area. Basic technique and a huge part of becoming an effective pass rusher.

Coach em up to their potential & turn a weakness into strength .

I didn't really compare him to Tull, just said that Tull had a high number of sacks just like Hendrickson so I hope he turns out better.

I'm warming up to the picks the more I look into it, just wish we had solidifed the pass rush earlier.

Lol, naw I wasn't referring to you Diz. This knuckle head on Nola.com was making a weak argument last night after the pick.

We're family here bro .
