(Edit: I realize I've kind of fallen into talking about recruiting as much as our current offensive line.)Why is the 280 pound guy now a 230 pound tight end?
Because that's what our 280 lb tackles were when we recruited them.
Then they lifted weights to become undersized tackles.
Would you rather recruit a guy who is bigger to play that position?
The huge guy who doesn't know football and the undersized guy who had played his whole life both have a lot of work to do before they can play.
But would you rather have the bigger guy or the smaller guy once they get to their third or fourth year in the program?
We just recruited 5 raw, inexperienced 6'6 320 lb guys. This is what Fran is looking to do.
Our current offensive line after one offseason of Fran Brown has mostly big guys.
I think we're going in the right direction.
