Screw Fua but I agree with McClain. I still can't understand how we get the smallest Samoan playing football.

It's not just Fua. Our starting D-line is undersized in my opinion. Not to say people that size can't get it done, but it is tougher given the size of O-linemen today.

Fua looks way too small to play over the center. CJ is really good, but on the small side. I think Fua is like 6' even, CJ and McClain are 6'2", and Hardy is a bit better at 6'4". With the exception of Fua, all are under 300 lbs.

I think that is one reason why we saw some improvement when Kearse and Shirley played.

I know, but taken to the extreme, if you put midgets on the field they aren't going to win anything.

There is nothing scientific about my observation. Just watching all of our games, our D-line looks significantly smaller than the opposing O-lines on a consistent basis. It is more of a general impression.

It may just be that the lack of technique/experience/skill at DT is getting them overwhelmed more than their size.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!

      Inappropriate relationship with a team staffer, followed up with some stalking behavior, and ultimately a felony home invasion charge from a visit at her apartment that culminated in him threatening her life and his as well.
