I think that you left out a word or two...


"stay at" ...home?

"hit a " home " run?

"admit they are " home "-ersexual"?

just because your team and school swing that way, don't try to drag us into your world.

You want to talk football then talk, if you want to sling B.S. then get lost.

Size is not always an "advantage".
General Neyland would tell you that "in the trenches" it's better to be quick than large.
Speed Kills!

UT will have their hands full. Both their lines will have to step it up to hold off the tide. We have to establish the run so we need to O line to be big in this one. The D line and LBs will have their hands full with Ingram too so its gonna be a battle

It's just an article about the obvious size advantage Bama has on the defensive line. I don't know why some of the posters here treat every article as if it's a slight against UT. Who here can't see that Bama's D-line is bigger than UT's O-line?

Those boys got bigger moobs than Andrea whatever his name was, you know the one they kept showing running the 40! :run:

They need to keep those fat boys outta Dreamland! Better have the defrib paddles ready if CLK decides to run the hurry up! I would get that bunch in on a run down and never huddle the rest of the game!!! 8th game in a row for those porkers by the second half won't be able to walk!!!

Couple of years ago we had one of the biggest lard arse o-lines in the NCAA and they couldn't get out of their own way.

That sounds nice, but are you sure you really want to rush Crompton against Bama's D?

Crompton actually plays best when he's more reactive than planned, i.e. 2 minute drill situations, roll-outs (where he's not sitting in the pocket having to make reads).

Do you think that may be because most defenses play a little soft during the two minute drill so that they won't give up a big play?

Could be, but that doesn't the other point. He doesn't seem to do well with multiple progressions and changing plays at the line... which is what I'm sure Saban is going to try and force. Basically, if Crompton can get his #1 option, he does well, but after that it becomes dicey. Kiffin will have to call a very good game... but unlike our previous coaching staff, this is a distinct possibility. Our play calling v florida and georgia was very good.

There is some truth to that, but no FBS team is ever going to field an O-line consisting of 6' 200 lb cornerbacks, even though they are the quickest athletes on the field. Size does matter. Bear Bryant loved speed too, but he also said a big fast man will whip a smaller fast man every time, and our D-line is very athletic.

I wouldn't call that fat Cody kid athletic. He is just big and slow.and clogs up the middle. We will just run away from him, and keep him on the field with hurry -up offense until he is puking his guts out.

Find me another 350 pounder who can dunk a basketball, much less do a 360 while they do it. Plus he has like a 24 inch vertical or something.

Cody's athleticism is so underrated. Otherwise teams would just go find the biggest fatasses they can get like James Carmon.

I think the 360 dunk rumors are probably BS, but you can't say the guy isn't athletic. He's not a fast runner, but he's "quick" inside and is a lot more athletic than some people think.

those pics don't really prove that he's uber-athletic. He's tall and can get off the ground. Whoopee
