I'd honestly rather have an athletic kid that can move at tackle and might be a little light than a big kid who can't move. Burns for FSU was what, 250 dripping wet with a few cinder blocks tied to the scale. Just ran around our tackles all day.

Tyrone Smith the LT at Dallas was smaller than Zion his freshman year at USC

WTH is she even talking about in the 1st part? Oklahoma is "feisty" bc an injured player is "excitedly watching" it? Seriously, we can't get one beat reporter that isn't full blown potato/clueless? Manny needs to fix this.

I dont know about you, but I'm jonesing for an inside scoop at how vigorously the players ride the exercise bikes under the new staff. These are very important details!

Displaying concern that an undersized early enrollee is playing first team left tackle does not rise to the level of "hater" IMO. Of course the coaches are shuffling the deck in the Spring. If he's that good let him play, but if this is more about the talent level of the returning players than it is about Zion's readiness then we have a major problem.

I’m speaking more to the people who **** on us for taking Zion bc he was a App St commit and the people ****ting on Zion in general for not having better offers.

how come nobody has mentioned that having Zion Nelson with the 1's at LT, could be fuel for the others to work harder, get better, etc. he might be good enough to hang this carrot in front of the others. just a theory that seems pretty reasonable.

This is kind of my point, if the opposing team can put their best WR in the slot and that means we have a striker against him, thats an issue. When this striker idea materialized, I looked at it as a guy too athletic/lean for traditional LB but too big and stiff for a safety, which would help in covering TE, or RB on obvious passing downs... unless they are chipping the number 1 WR off the line, even in the slot or a double with underneath coverage, makes no sense for the striker to be more than 10 yards down the field with a number 1.

Ummm i see you're trying to drop some knowledge on us, we prechiate cha. However when a defense is counting the receivers they count from the outside in. So if JT was in the slot then he would be the #2 receiver, not #1. #1 would be the outside receiver. Just FYI
