[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 818017, member: 198"] I'm not sure I agree with what you're actually saying. I think I agree with the premise of what you're saying, but that doesn't seem to be the same thing. I don't think it was "talent" holding CPJ linemen from the NFL. I think those guys were plenty talented and plenty smart. I think what held them back was size. While lighter, faster linemen worked well in CPJ's offense, those guys didn't have the heft to transition to the more traditional offense ran in the NFL. At that level, height and weight (i.e. leverage), as well as quickness, rules. CPJ always said he wanted to 6'6" 330# lineman that could move like shifting sand, and he recruited them. Unfortunately, so did everyone else and he wasn't really able to get those guys here. I think that's probably what you were meaning to say when you said "talent," but I don't want to put words in your mouth. Regardless, I have several friends who were linemen on Bobby Ross's championship team and I've spoken to the sons of a couple of friends/co-workers who played under Gailey and Johnson about Tech. I'm not really sure what the point was. [/QUOTE]
