It's about flexibility, range of motion, absorbing, reaching

and then maintaining leverage.
If you're stiff[just got bob's attention] you're slowed and have difficulty managing superior athletes that you'll face on the outside as an offensive tackle. Long arms are nice as well, as you get them on your defender, before he can get his on you.
The Oak and the Reeds - Aesop
A Giant Oak stood near a brook in which grew some slender Reeds. When the wind blew, the great Oak stood proudly upright with its hundred arms uplifted to the sky. But the Reeds bowed low in the wind and sang a sad and mournful song.
"You have reason to complain," said the Oak. "The slightest breeze that ruffles the surface of the water makes you bow your heads, while I, the mighty Oak, stand upright and firm before the howling tempest."
"Do not worry about us," replied the Reeds. "The winds do not harm us. We bow before them and so we do not break. You, in all your pride and strength, have so far resisted their blows. But the end is coming."
As the Reeds spoke a great hurricane rushed out of the north. The Oak stood proudly and fought against the storm, while the yielding Reeds bowed low. The wind redoubled in fury, and all at once the great tree fell, torn up by the roots, and lay among the pitying Reeds.
Better to yield when it is folly to resist, than to resist stubbornly and be destroyed.

We all know the weatherman can track these nowadays. No way a hurricane surprised somebody. And reeds talking?

Thanks - dsp!! Guess The Oak doesn't bend too well !! That was proven during Hurricane Hugo - as the oaks were largely uprooted. The pines bent pretty well ... but many were still broken off about 15-20 ft above ground .... lol
