Update on Ryan Reynolds from soonersports.com

“I feel like I am way ahead of schedule,” he said. “The ACL recovery was a lot more difficult. This is night and day. I feel like I will be just as fast as I was before, but I’m not in shape yet. That will take about a month.”

Reynolds’ optimism about a quick return is fueled by the fact that he also watched his waist line more closely during this particular rehabilitation. Last summer, the weight on his 6-foot-2 frame ballooned to 248 pounds. Now he’s around 230 and he hopes to play at 235.

“I didn’t have to wait as long to start my rehab this time, but I also took a lot better care of myself this time,” he confessed. “I was able to do more cardio and I was doing leg curls and hip flexors with ankle weights in my first week back.”

Reynolds’ Rehab Going Well

Coach Merv “The tackle group, I think will, be as strong that it has been since we had (Tommy) Harris and (Dusty) Dvoracek both on the field at the same time.”

Third-year wide receiver Mark Bradley has also impressed coaches throughout the June organized team activities, and 5-foot-7 rookie running back Garrett Wolfe provides another option with big-play ability.

“I like what Garrett Wolfe has brought with his quickness, and Mark Bradley has really taken a step up,” Smith said.

Thanks to the ouinsider board for this post

Pretty much said that Tommie, Bradley, and him are all healthy and that the bears are really relying on him to excel this season and that they need him too. Talked alot about his relationship with tommie and that they are so excited to be the starting DTs together again. He said that Mark is catching everything thrown his way and is working with the 1s and that he still thinks he is the fastest bear and he runs toe to toe with Hester.

James Hale talks to Cale Gundy

June 22, 2007 at 2:36 pm | In Allen Patrick, Chris Brown, DeMarco Murray, Oklahoma Sooners | Leave a Comment

here’s a bit about our running backs

JH: You lost the seventh pick in the NFL draft in Adrian Peterson at your position. But while you may not have a running back as good as Adrian coming back, you have a deeper group of running backs, don’t you?

CG: “Yeah, I do. I don’t want to over do it, but I think I have a really good group. I would like to see a better running back group in the country. I am talking overall. I have five young men that are talented and they all are good in their own ways. I want to see the best three running backs at any school, and I want to match them up against my best three running backs. They are good kids who work hard, but they still have to go out and prove it in the fall when we play the games on Saturday’s. I feel comfortable with who I have.”

JH: DeMarco Murray was so good in the spring that people have forgotten how good Allen Patrick is.

CG: “That is right, because A.P. is good. DeMarco is good as well, as is Chris Brown. There are some guys who will argue on our staff that Chris Brown, throughout the course of the year day-in and day-out, is our best running back. I can’t argue with that as well. They all specialize in different areas. Chris is the most solid overall running back that we have. DeMarco Murray is a guy who can get out and play wide receiver and who can create so many plays on his own.

“Allen Patrick is a true tailback who is going to play hard and physical. Mossis Madu has a little DeMarco Murray in him, and who is electrifying. Then you have a guy like Jacob Guiterrez, who has been around here for years. He is your constant guy who you can trust day-in and day-out. Jacob can step in at any time and help you win.”

JH: Are the running backs different enough that when they are in the game they can present different problems for the defense?

CG: “That is correct. You can’t sit back there on defense and kind of suspect the same old things with our running backs. Those linebackers and safeties are running alleys to tackle people. They are running alleys and filling lanes for Chris Brown, and then next time they have to run an angle for Allen Patrick or DeMarco Murray, who are going to be much different. If you took that same angle that you took on the other one, you are not going to get to the other one. Those are little, bitty things that are important.”
