We need this dude to coach our defensive line. Spread offenses are here to stay, and we can't have 330 pound nose tackles running around trying to keep up with these uptempo offenses.
It seemed like golden's philosophy put more emphasis on plugging gaps than getting off blocks. We need guys getting off blocks, disrupting option reads, and penetrating these zone blocking schemes. You can't do that with these fat defensive lineman.

There has to be a balance. Alabama has some big *** agile bodies up front...and they seem to be able to handle spread and traditional power running offenses rather well.
While they don't make too many like Wilfork anymore...we have suffered more from pathetic recruiting at that position than anything else, not to mention weak scheme and development.
Bringing in a guy like Rocker with Richt should automatically have us in the discussion with some of these beasts. There is a reason why the $EC prizes these guys so much and does whatever it take$ to get their signatures.
UM
Been saying this a while, and I said it last week when Richt was hired - the first thing we need to do in the new S & C program is have the players drop weight. We are far too slow for a Canes team, because we are too big on the defensive side of the ball, in particular
Our guys on defense have been waaaaay to big under golden, and we are slow as ****. Chad Thomas is about 280lbs right now, but I think he'd be a force at 260lbs
Norton, Moten, Jenkins, etc are all around 330, but need to be playing at 305lbs
I'd like t see Owens and Young trim down to 225 to 230
All this sounds like one thing: Old school Miami Hurricane defense. Aggressive speedy disruptive DTs in your backfield was bad news for offenses those days and still in today. If Mark gets a DC who plays our old defense and finds the DTs we need, it is a new ball game.

No doubt. We used to have DT's and DE's who could run backs down from behind. We gotta go find those guys and turn em loose.
[MENTION=2611]TheU[/MENTION]gadawg: According to some media outlets in Miami, UGA DL Coach Tracy Rocker could be headed to Coral Gables to join Mark Richt.

That's what I remember. Linemen running like 4.7s, OLBs 4.4 with slow ones at 4.5. And only FSU ever catching a WR or RB from behind even with an angle. Might just be bloated memories. Seemed like only our QBs were slow.
