BIG Uglies on the O' line/ D line
So here we go.. I think Cristoballin era is transitioning to dare I say Alabamaesque or stanfordesque road grade O'line. It will take some time, but with these 330 pound O'line recruits coming in to protect the QB and opening holes for our runningbacks. I`m ok with a change if indeed this is Cristobal & staffs changing offensive system. What teams O-lines always gave our defenses trouble in the CK, Helf era... the Stanfords, Auburn in the natty. Maybe we going that direction and with our Defense getting bigger upfront and 230 plus linebackers. QB's Herbert & Tyler Shough will bee perfect in this kinda new offense if thats our future. Recruiting the best Athletes recievers and runningbacks & O'line and on the D- side, big lineman, strong fast bigger LB's. I guess time will tell, but i am fine if we do change it up.

Former skill players from Alabama include, Heisman winning RB's, Ingram and Henry, NFL, All Pro WR, Julio Jones, currently, Calvin Ridley, and of course the OL, and the defense. If this is where Cristobal wants to take his team, I'm fine with it.

The thing about Alabamaesque is Bama gets huge players, and they are also faster and more explosive than most other teams' small line-ups. We'll have to hope we can get big dudes who can move. There aren't many of those out there.

I'm sure Cristobal would enjoy loading up with a bunch of 5* skill playersMerganzer wrote:Former skill players from Alabama include, Heisman winning RB's, Ingram and Henry, NFL, All Pro WR, Julio Jones, currently, Calvin Ridley, and of course the OL, and the defense.

Re: BIG Uglies on the O' line/ D line
Recruiting huge dudes for the sake of being huge dudes doesn't work out well. Athleticism and a good frame (even if they need to grow into it a bit) are what matter most for OL.
