so we have 1...nevis is 292. brockers is at 285 downs 275 and davenport is 323.


and you saw how are D-line got pushed around so bad this year....remember the days they were dominant....Dorsey 300lbs....look at the other dominant ones around the league, majority are around 295-300lbs...be big and quick, otherwise LB's and DB are making all the tackles...DT do two things, keep the lineman off the LB's during running plays and apply pressure on passing downs...

If you run a 3/4 which we dont, you have to have a rock in the middle to be successfull, ala Mt Cody...

4/3 isnt much different you just need two guys that dont need to get pushed around, clog the holes...

A couple things some of you may not have noticed...

1. Woods and Alexander had more snaps together last season than any other combo of tackles and we still "got pushed around". Bigger doesn't mean better. We have good enough size, it will just be difficult to put two of the smaller guys in at the same time.

2. The Roster is essentially meaningless when it comes to height, weight, and position. The weights are updated maybe twice per year and what currently shows on the roster, especially for the freshmen, is what they reported at when they arrived on campus last June.
