not if he lines up next to ellis. if he backs up ellis, then yes he will be in a bad scheme

woods is athletic enough for the DL. guys who are moved to the OL are the DL who aren't athletic enough
fwiw, if i had to decide bewteen barksdale and woods on who is most athletic, Im going with 78.
just me though.

i think barksdale is going to pull a ciron black when his physical talent is measured up next year
dude has gotten abused on the right side at times b/c he didn't have the athletic ability to properly slide out to catch the pass rusher

So, do you think Davenport isn't athletic enough since they wanted to move him to OL?

man i haven't seen chris davenport do much of anything so i cannot judge him. i'd just be guessing
Posted on 4/24/10 at 11:24 am to deuce985
i dont think our staff knows what to do with big DT's
HOWEVER, chavis has a history of making big DT's great, which is why i hold out hope for davenport

chavis did have a good run of big DTs

When's the last time we had a DT that was 6'5" 330, like haynesworth?

I would, look at the spring game. He doesn't come off the ball at all.

i wish woods had more eligibility though...woods and davenport could have been john henderson and al haynesworth

Not saying we don't have development issues, but........
Did you ever see this guy in High School?? Talk to anyone in Elton and they'll tell you he never had a chance in college. I watched him in High School, and he was a very talented, lazy, SOFT, football player. Some guys only look good off the bus, but they can't play football. He's the best example.

Mike Detellier on 870am just a little while ago said "he was very undeveloped at LSU. And it was a shame to see this guy sit around for that many years without someone pushing him."

Kiper even mentioned lack of motivation towards him and still incredibly raw, "needs coaching". I found kinda funny how he said that...like he didn't want to lead on too much...
Earl Lane dicked this kid's career with his sleep sessions.

I think you are struggling to describe the fact that Ellis is the 3-tech DT. At LSU, this was Nevis, not Woods.
To say that in LSU's DTs strictly have 1 gap responsibility is incredibly incorrect.

I didn't realize that woods was that tall.

I would say we didn't use him properly. I wouldn't say that Al Woods choice of LSU was a mistake, per se.
I think the mistake was on our coaches' end.
Where do you think Woods would have fit better? Was he even looking at other schools?
He doesn't fit at Texas or Oklahoma...they like smaller DTs like we do. He might have fit at Alabama, but Saban wasn't the coach yet.
So where?
