Burger, "Weeeeee, I am flying...hi ground, why are you here? Mean ground, bad ground. Owweee!"

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Great post! I won't lie, during Dooley's first presser I bought into what he was selling and saying and thought he would do atleast decent here but he had me fooled. Especially after hesring all the recruiting bridges he burned that Butch is still trying to mend.

Me too

Oh crude, where is BaldBiker?

I just derailed another thread

 

[Burger]

Good Lord.. Just stop. U obviously have no clue what you're talking about.. No reason at all he should be that light.

No way he's pure muscle. He'd be on the world's strongest man if he was pure muscle. We don't need big cloggers in a 4-3. We need guys who can penetrate and be quicker. I'd like to use Ed O as an example. His dream DTs are 6'2" and 285.

Gotta disagree with you on this one...we finally have a 300 plus dynamo on our side... Tired of 265 -285 pounders plugging away...KM doesn't have to be pure muscle... HE 'S MOSTLY MUSCLE...and he brings it! :aggressive:

He isn't a "clogger". He was quicker than almost all of the other lighter DL at the Opening. He posted a 101 sparq score (for reference, Preston Williams posted a 108). That's why evaluators were calling him a "freak" and "monster". He bigger, stronger, faster than the rest. There's no reason he needs to lose 30 lbs.

Imagine him being quicker. That would scare the hell out of opponents. There's no reason he should weigh 340.

You don't think they're SCARED of him?

 

[Burger]

You don't think they're SCARED of him?

They'll be even more scared.

 

[LotteryPick]

The lowest he should go down to is 325.

 

[BonesVol]

They'll be even more scared.

They scared enough. Seriously, heavenly seen him in action? Picking up 290 lb linemen and tossing them out of his way. Beast!

 

[LebanonVolunteer]

I think 325 would be about right. He's not carrying much bad weight at all. Trimming about 15lbs would just make him quicker. He's not 6'7-6'8 so 340-350 or so IMO is too high.

 

[triad280]

I think after getting in the S&C program for a yr or 2,he will get down to 320 but by year 3 he will be 335,but stronger and quicker than he is now...He will redistribute some of his weight to the top half of his body... but just because you are 340 doesnt make you a clogger...he looks like he weighs 290,not 340...

and please dont get that stupid caliper thread going again

Here is the video where he is talking about losing some weight. If anyone thinks he's fat their crazy.

 

[Serenadium51]

We don't run the 3-4 anymore. We'll have two close to 300 pound guys in the middle instead of one huge fatty.

Wow

Just.....





Wow

 

[JacketVol]

He is just hugh. He won't gain weight and will not lose much. Strength will increase which is hard to imagine. He will get to the point he will be throwing around upper classmen OL like he does top OL seniors in HS guys now.

He is a beast who looks way slimmer than most players who do weigh 340. Guy is going to get stronger and quicker and as one of the guys wrote ( don't remember who) his body is college/SEC ready now. GBO

 

[illumiVOLi]

I love threads loaded with grown men talking about the figures of high school boys. Sooo sweet. Bod pod anyone?

I remember Munoz body slamming a D-liner. Took a flag. Reggie White body slammed Boomer Esiason and got away with it. Of course that would not happen these days.

DT – Kahlil McKenzie – If you were tallying, ‘wow’ plays, McKenzie would probably have a huge lead. His punch is so jolting and powerful and he knows who he is. You’re not going to see an array of swim moves out of the new Tennessee commit, just overwhelming strength that he used to put linemen on their back or take them on a walk back to the quarterback.

I hated the hire. Honestly though, I was so pissed off about Lane Kiffin I don't think the hiring of any coach outside of Saban or Meyer would have satisfied me at that time. Like all Vol fans, I was hopeful that Dooley would be the right guy. He certainly was entertaining in press conferences. However the warning signs were there pretty early. The LSU debacle. The complete (mis)handling of DaRick Rogers. His constant habit of throwing players under the bus rather than taking responsibility as head coach. The loss to Kentucky. Plus recruiting classes got worse and worse as each year progressed.

I love how he is all over twitter doing solid work for us. Even when he tweeted a congrats to the Bama QB commit he was telling him to get ready to be sacked, love that attitude.

And for what its worth I think he loses about 10lbs maybe 15 no need to lose more.

 

[chavisut]

Imagine him being quicker. That would scare the hell out of opponents. There's no reason he should weigh 340.

Part of what makes him elite is his athletic ability for his size. No need to play below 325.

A wise man once said arguing with idiots will never change the idiots mind. However, it might bring you to their level. Anyone that uses Ed Ogeron as their source qualifies.

Butchna, be careful my friend.
