Cajun OL

[ComebackShack]

We had one dude who was a recruit a few years back, Alex Taylor. Pretty sure he was 6'9 or something and could have been 350 pounds easily once he went through an off season of S&C or two + loading up on Comeback Shack and Peddler. Not sure what happened to him, but he is not longer on the team.

edit- actually, it looks like he is at South Carolina State now.

Man, that elite OLine looked like a bunch of ugly 12 year olds vs the D Taylor

I think you have a typo. I think you mean THE D Taylor with capital letters.

And unlike Ohio State Univ, I think THE DT has a great case to trademark this.

Where does DT stack up against Ronald Blair and Tee Sims?

He has the desire, the ability and the work ethic to be just as good or better as Blair and Sims. JMHO

How about a comparison to the D line with Hunter and Murrell? They spent real time in the pros.

He can be just as good

If we had Chris Willis, at the opposite DE position, just imagine the pressure we would be putting on opposing QBs. I am pleased with 'Suba's and Spurlins play though. Each have made some BIG plays almost every game. Willis & THE DT may be our next Hunter & Murrell.

Earle got some snaps and made a big play on the goal line stand. His size and strength made a difference. Plus he was relatively fresh. Depth is critical going forward.

Also Blackstock continues to make key plays. Just about every game there is a play were he just destroys the Oline and wrecks the play in the backfield. I really am enjoying the rotation we have have up front, I know it's not as deep as it could be but those dudes up front are eating!

Blair is spending real time in the pros and will get a few mil a year next spring in free agency

He definitely had a big impact on the rotation. The better out DL plays, the better Roof's system can work.

Yeah. Blair has really taken his technique up a notch and should lead to him having sustainable success in the NFL. Hunter was a freak athlete and leaned on that a little too much. Injuries and off the field personal issues kind of washed him out, but he had all of the potential in the world with his physical gifts. I was friends with him back in school and he was always a fun loving guy. Murrell was kind of the opposite, had a lot of the technique and discipline, but wasn't blessed with the frame and freakish athletic ability of Hunter.

2005, good times.
