Eh. I could come back with "Steve Smith!" or something but we'd be doing this all day.
I don't think being short is a detriment for a WR if he's playing the slot. I also think Tulsa got the better of the two Destrahan wideouts.
Posted on 8/4/09 at 3:53 pm to Lester Earl
I've never seen him in person but he sounds bigger than Darren Sproles.
Posted on 8/4/09 at 3:54 pm to Books
michael ford isnt a speed/finesse RB.
and he is strong as an ox.
im not just talking about his body, like I said, Lache's game would be better suited as a Percy Harvin type player.

5'8" or 5'10" is not a WR. Especially in the SEC when with each year, DB's are 6'1" , 6'2" etc. Regardless of his ups, he would have a disadvantage against many of the Safety and Cornerbacks.
Also, his video that was posted in a diff thread all point to him having great cutback ability. And most importantly, he seems to stay low when he ran which is a major plus. He seems to have great RB ability and I would love for him to be a RB in tandem with Ford etc.
Also, we have Hunter, Davis, Potentially Reid, and Wright and some ATH like Gibson etc , i think WR is pretty set. The RB position is where we need his help.

Lache is stacked right now, he'll be more than a finesse back. this thread is stupid

By comparison:
While at LSU Kevin Faulk was listed at 5'10' 195 lbs.
Deuce McAllister was listed as 6'1" 222 at the draft.
AP was listed as 6'2" 210 lbs out of high school.
Jamaal Charles was listed as 6'1" 185 out of high school.
Selvin Young was listed at 6'1" 195 out of high school.
Steve Slaton was listed at 5'10" 184 lbs out of high school.
Darren McFadden was listed at 6'0" 198 lbs out of high school.
Felix Jones was listed at 5'11" 197 lbs out of high school.
Knowshon Moreno was listed at 5'11" 205 lbs in high school.

he runs away from people, not through people.
and his body looks nothing like Ford's. I just watched the Amp video when he does a back flip with his shirt off. He's not "stacked".

I think they got a good one, regardless of conference, but the jury is still out on Molton because of the injury. Johnson definitely went to a place that played to his strengths and allowed him to get on the field early, so right now it looks like Tulsa did better. But Molton got some high praise from the people who had to cover him every day before he got hurt. I just hope he can rebound from the injury and get back to where he was, like Amp Hill couldn't.

I get why you ask, but as a RB that gets split in the slot from the backfield on occassion, he serves as a bigger threat and helps stretch the field as well as get more touches. He'll be our Reggie Bush type player and thus must stay at RB to get more touches and help the overall offense out by creating more mismatches. ( if this is stated somewhere in this thread, sorry, I'm in a rush and simply replying to you)

I agree that there arnt that many CBs that height but with each passing year i feel that there is more of an importance towards taller CB's to cover the taller WR's.
Ex:
Florida Gators:
36 Moses Jenkins CB 6'2" 184 Jr Coral Springs, FL
4 Wondy Pierre-Louis CB 6'1" 185 Sr
Alabama:
Chris Rogers CB 6-0 195 Jr. LAKELAND, FL
Justin Woodall CB 6-2 220 Jr. OXFORD, MS
Hampton Gray CB 6-1 194 So. NORTHPORT, AL
LSU:
Phelon Jones CB 6-0 190 Fr. MOBILE, AL
Chris Hawkins CB 6-1 184 Jr. WALKER, LA
Tyson Andrus CB 6-0 170 Jr. LAFAYETTE, LA
Georgia:
Commings, Sanders CB 6-2 210 Fr
These are just examples. I do agree with you tho that currently most of the backs are sub 6feet. But the reason I said that is because i read it somewhere how people were favoring taller CB's and safety's to cover the increasingly taller WR's.
