Mostly from the notion that to be a college olineman, you have to be heavy. Not necessarily (See Matt Haas) Post #12774 DUPops Posted 9/20/2007 2:33:21 PM Forum Member Group: Forum Members Last Login: 2 days ago @ 6:34:58 PM Posts: 113, Visits: 1,438 Hey DUOline... quit paying attention to our dribble and concentrate on preparing for UNI..

"We want leaner guys because the flexibility allows them to play with leverage," McLaughlin said. "Being physical is not just a by-product of strength, aggression and effort but leverage, as well. We want our players to be able to bend, and flexibility affords that." http://media.www.dailypennsylvanian.com/media/storage/paper882/news/2007/11/01/Sports/This-OLine.Isnt.Weighed.Down-3071014.shtml Post #13318 Herdman Posted 11/2/2007 9:50:50 PM Forum Member Group: Forum Members Last Login: 11/1/2008 7:18:36 AM Posts: 66, Visits: 590 Agreed, did you see UDS's O-line last night? they were big, but not as moble as their UNO counterparts. UNO's linemen where leaner and meaner and it showed.

However he didn't dress for the opener. Don't see the other two listed this year.[/size] Post #27515 « Prev Topic | Next Topic » Reading This Topic Active Users: 0 (0 guests, 0 members, 0 anonymous members) No members currently viewing this topic.
