I dont want 320 pound tackles, I'd rather a guy who can move and pass block. Plenty of very good college OTs out there in the 290-300 pound range.


The key is them keeping their quick feet with the increased weight. We need them to be as heavy as they can be without losing their speed, as we need them to be stout in run blocking, too.

Wire is actually a perfect OT specimen...the issue will be getting him developed in time to hit his peak while he's still in college. If he's 285 right now, I'd say he's right on track. If he's really 296, I'd say he's ahead of schedule.

He and Ray Parker are very similar to me.

They still need to try to go the juco route if that's an option this offseason. About one more offseason and they ought be deep enough to be in good shape.

No, BEN!

You have been called a player basher most of this season bc you post that "NONE OF THE PLAYERS ON THE OL HAVE TALENT...NO TALENT AT ALL".

That is different than saying a player should be moved from tackle to guard, etc.

He spoke about changing his position and dominating. Can you really not see the difference in this and saying "NO TALENT, PLEASE NAME THE TALENT



This is a prime example of a poster cherrypicking my posts to support a personal attack and highly hypocritical post. He does this on a regular basis. He obviously has some kind of personal problem with me.
