LGT FINAL G1: Louisiana 40, Grambling 10

[Jacob81]

We will be 60lbs lighter on the OL this week.

Good OL play is about leverage, footwork, line coordination, strength, speed, steps, and doing your job.weight is way down the list....being over 300 lbs by itself, is not a requirement if you can't or don't have the ability, weight doesn't matter

Bill Davis - 5'9" 235lbs

So, if Davis put on 10 lbs this past offseason, did it make him more effective at "wearing down" a defense versus when he was 225?

If you’re a 230lb linebacker would you rather tackle a 235lb rb in the 4th quarter or a 225lb rb?


Then when that defense is gassed from tackling Davis and Washington and you see those hands on their hips. You bring in Perry and he breaks one with speed.


Watch Davis run the ball. He falls forward 2-3-4 yards after contact. Nobody wants to tackle that dude.

If he put on 10lbs of muscle, then yes it will. But he needs to be given a volume of carries to "wear down" those folks tackling him.

Agreed. He needs more than 5 carries to be really effective. For his own carries and the other backs carries.

He does that whether he's 225 or 235

I'm just saying that going by weight is fruitless. Are you saying that had Trey Ragas put on 10 pounds and was 240 pounds he would have been more effective as a runner? Even if it was muscle? At what point do you lose shiftiness and speed. Come on. That can't be a blanket statement
