[QUOTE="jchens_GT, post: 7555, member: 119"] I won't lie, this bothers me as well. I would much rather have bigger guys. It seems to be a recurring challenge for Tech to recruit the linemen who have size but are also athletic. I can remember many Tech vs. UGA games where the visible difference in size between the two teams was striking. Our guys looked like midgets out there. So which do you choose? Do you want big dudes out there who take up space but don't move well? Or would you rather have guys that are a bit lighter in weight but are athletic enough to gain an extra half step firing off the line or be able to run down skill guys in the backfield? In a perfect world, you have both of course. Given that our guys are smaller, I am at least glad that Roof and Pelton seem to be hammering on fundamentals and technique. If you have a D-line that is small and has sloppy technique, then you are really screwed. As a fan, I have to hope that Roof and Pelton are doing the best job they can with the players they have right now and are going to work toward more success recruiting those ideal defensive linemen. I suppose we'll find that out in the next two to three recruiting cycles. [/QUOTE]
