just keep your mike lb draftees inside the u and you'll be ok.

kirkland wasn't great, he was ok being big and slow in that 3-4 but generally i'd want my mike to be sub-six foot, come out of college with pro squat numbers and an injury history that's got an announcer talking about how he was a game-time decision and the shoulder that's seperated has some suspension harness under those little foam under-shoulderpad set of pads they give you if you need them.

short guys are a pain to cut low enough to just end their careers with ease. a guy in the low-230's can clean up amazingly well as a mlb BUT guys like that have EITHER a defense set up with mammoth inside down guys in front of them just holding linemen up and waiting for the velociraptors to come clean the back up OR they need to be freakishly pain-tolerant AND somehow have an ability to never REALLY take a hit a-la sanders in his prime. spinning, staying absurdly low, strong hands and leverage with the ability to squat and deadlift with some centers but being 5'11" is going to keep you on the field for a few years.

giants guy pierce and urlacher were too tall and they somehow thought it macho to let a larry brown or hutchinson chop their first steps out then take them on like some idiot coach told you to. guards are too big and strong for anyone but overweight dt's right now to want to honor their wish to put on a drive-blocking clinic starring you. dude, larry brown even ancient larry brown's numbers would have made him an olympian for OUR FUCKING POWERLIFTING TEAM. you don't train anywhere close to those dudes and they can't have eight knee surgeries in a decade or lift and play in pain with a good first five-seven steps like a grizzly bear.

avoid anyone but jeff saturday, even if you just have to submarine him and hope the pile's makes that lane a total mess if you have to. hutchinson's too fast, smart and just good to think you're going to shed him after a real collision. nope-good interior lineman ALL HOLD and now steve's got little bits of your jersey that look like he's just into your pads and now he's taking you for a ride while the ref c
willies and sams can be taller, faster, but sometimes at lower levels you can be servicable at six three and barely over 205 by midseason. but if you've played somewhere numbered anywhere but 50's-70's on your jersey you should know what the fuck routes look like and the nfl's just freaky but even outside the top 20 ncaa teams, maybe top 5 you don't have the same number of practice hours to make things complex through your playbook. sometime in the first quarter it's obvious what they're running and who's doing it route-wise and even dumb shit like glancing at the middle of the line before releasing.

recievers and backs can be just blithering idiots if they've got the tools like being black, from the state of florida and just being 220 and six-oh that shouldn't need to lift to have huge shoulders and quads then somehow the u admits edge, gore, willis, etc. and they're all sub-4.5, some moves and just naturally strong. the amount of effort i'd have had to spend not getting nailed by taking obscene levels of every potent oral and supporting mexico grabbing deca and sustanon then having dianbol make my liver shut down to be half of frank gore or edgerrin is hilarious.

like, edgerrin's offseason workout consisted of moving a bench into the street at night and having guys from his high school spot him every now and then. zero strength coach needed.

whites don't exist in that exact form, i really couldn't tell you why.
