You can't handle real debate. You think that posting pictures of fat guys with no teeth is real debate. Every sane posting that contradicts you is like a cross to a Vampire.
You can't handle flaming either.
You're pretty much f**ked here then.
And you can't handle the concept of a man that can chase down the likes of a Bott from behind, can you?
One more time, just for your ENLIGHTENMENT. Idiot.
Comprehension of reality, that is your prob.......
Maybe the blood scares you...............
Imagine a 6-6, 290 lb man who is used to chasing smaller players, for the soul purpose of the kill. Smaller players the size of wingers. And too do so, he has to run through 1-2 giants, bigger than himself. On every play.
What ignats like "EA" can't understand, is the speed and violence of the game. He is
used too seeing 17/18 year old kids playing with men. And doing well. Kids and so called men like a Webke or Mason would get hurt; quickly and in a bad way against these freaks.
Kids? Try this one for size. These are the sort of young men trying too make it in the NFL.......and by the way, he ain't fat.
Remember, these are "kids' trying to get into the NFL......
Alex Barron was a two-time All-American at Florida State.
OT Alex Barron (Florida State)
Vital statistics: 6 foot 7½, 318 pounds, 4.86 in the 40, 19 bench press reps.
Numbers game: Two-year regular at split-side tackle slot, mostly on the left side, and started in 24 of 25 games in his final two seasons. Began career with medical redshirt after tearing his right anterior cruciate ligament after the first four games in 2000. In 2002, was the backup to Todd Williams. Over final two seasons, he averaged eight knockdown blocks per game. In that period, never graded lower than 87 percent in blocking assignment efficiency. An Outland Trophy finalist.
Upside: Terrific athlete who has all the physical qualities you want in a left tackle. Freaky-type workout numbers in all the key drills. A guy this big isn't supposed to be this flexible, but his vertical jump and change-of-direction skills verify he can be special. Long arms and a 90-inch wingspan. When he gets his hands on a pass rusher and locks out, and keeps the kind of natural separation all great pass protectors have, the deal is sealed. Very agile, moves well laterally, can mirror pass rushers. Quick enough to get out and block at the second level.
Downside: Watch him on tape and there seems to be something, maybe a natural passion for the game, missing from his makeup. Not as tough as you want in the running game. Will struggle at times against smaller, quicker ends, and will get back on his heels and lose balance. Relies too much on natural ability, will get lazy and slide off blocks. Just doesn't dominate as consistently as he should.
OT Khalif Barnes (Washington)
Vital statistics: 6 foot 5¾, 305 pounds, 4.92 in the 40, 26 bench press reps.
Numbers game: Despite missing most of his senior season in 2004 after breaking his right wrist in the fifth game, logged 42 career starts. Unofficially, recorded 128 knockdown blocks in final two seasons. Began college career as a defensive lineman before moving to left offensive tackle late in his 2000 redshirt year.
Upside: Exceptionally quick feet. Moves nicely laterally, can shuffle and stay in front of a defender. Big, long frame, and can probably handle another 10-20 pounds pretty easily. Takes good angles, stays balanced and will cut off the perimeter. Plenty quick enough to recover. Has flashed some nastiness in the past.
Downside: Tends to just ride pass rushers upfield rather than redirect their charge and gets beat a little too often to the inside. A tad mechanical at times. Initial punch-out doesn't have the kind of pop he will need at the next level. Comes off the ball hard enough in the running game, but tends to lean into defenders rather than driving through them. Could use a little more strength, particularly in the lower body.
The dish: There are actually a few scouts who feel his inconsistency makes him a second-rounder, but there is no way he is going to slide that far. How come? Because there are teams that feel he is an even better prospect than Barron on the weak side.
And these kids are basic. No kidding. Maybe the likes of 'EA' will get it, some day. But I doubt it.
