[QUOTE="7979, post: 975441, member: 4877"] "......during this time that good players, who didn’t have the right measurements, were being rejected in favor of bigger guys...." And it continues to this day, perhaps accelerating. The required metrics of each position have become entrenched in player evaluations. FB coaches have herd mentality. EVERBODY wants the 4.3 40 WRs, ignoring that many of these sprinters have hands of stone (we've had a couple of those, right?). I suggest here that the 6'2-6'5 250-260 lb 17 yr old HS OLmen should be our recruiting targets. They grow to 280-290 lb Soph/JRs...and 6'3 280 athletic guys with quick feet can absolutely play in today's RPG offense. 300+lb HS OLmen rarely have to work hard to dominate their HS opponents. Why work on fundamentals when you can "lean on" the 215lb 15-16 yr old DL across from you? Nobody gets bull-rushed in CFB anymore. Pressue comes from inside stunts, and edge DE/OLBs that turn corner on 330 lb OT with leaden feet. Blocking, particularly pass blocking, is about leverage, balance and warrior mentality..... [/QUOTE]
