Message: [QUOTE="SU91, post: 5152787, member: 8807"] This is true. However, haven’t several of our players bulked up significantly over the summer? I know that was an aim of the new staff. It’s was discussed a great deal by the Syracuse media, that our players had gotten a lot bigger and many had added weight. Maybe this is contributing to being a step slow too?? They try to retain quickness when they bulk up, but that isn’t always possible. Maybe guys like McDonald have decreased speed because he couldn’t run down ball carriers before they got the edge this past Saturday. You’re right, our 3-3-5 depended on lighter players who appeared to be adequately fast, but this is now a bigger, heavier group that appeared a step slow. I don’t know, I think we’ll undoubtedly see Saturday. If the same issues persist, I think we might have a physical and not a mental problem. [/QUOTE]
