Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

haha thats interesting...i wonder if they can be groomed for NT
i dont know if you are joking or not but those guys would prob be pretty good linemen. they need very good body control to do what they do so i wouldnt be surprised to see someone try it someday

K. Do you know what he's best at? The run the pass. And why has he slipped so much?
i watch usc play alot and what i notice is he tries to go around the block too much. for example, if the play is going to the left and a lineman blocks him right, he will allow himself to be pushed to the right a bit while getting into the backfield, then he has a longer distance to run to make a tackle. he almost washes himself out of the play. at this point he is almost nothing but upside

im talking about them acquiring the mental skills for the position, they have to understand the concept pretty well to play well since they cannot always succeed due to their physical skills.
Physically, they're pretty ready

Shorter guys who are squatty have an easier time getting lower on OLinemen, being able to stand them up and get them off balance.
Ok, but would you rather have a small NT who can get really low on O-linemen or a massive NT who can simply overpower O-linemen? In the NFL size a great attribute to have.

well here in the nfl, we expect the best of the best. therefore, small NT that can also overpower the oline is the way to go. of course, some of those 350 pounders cant help being 6-4, but seeing as moal weighs in at 300, hes still got 50 pounds to go till he reaches "overpowering" status, at least as far as weight is concerned.

yeah, what denverelentless said, lower center of gravity, can push up on taller olinemen for more leverage.
if you look at some of the best NTs in the league, vince wilfork (6-2, 325) and casey hampton (6-1, 325) then they are obviously one the shorter side as far as linemen go. yes, kris jenkins and jamal williams are slightly taller at 6-3 and 6-4, but they make up for it by weighing like 350 pounds or something.
Marcus Stroud (6'6") and John Henderson (6'7")
Weight:height doesn't mean a whole lot...good is good.

Let's not forget that shorter, squatter nose tackles also have issues with stamina.
im not a big fan of his size. 6-4, 303.... i know size isn't everything, but i would preferr him to be a tad bit shorter and about 30 pounds heavier.
no way is he a 3-4 nose tackle. if you grab him you play him at DE in the 3-4 His game translates to being able to get to the QB and occassionally take on blocks.
The fool who fancies he is full of wisdom
While he sits by his hearth at home.
Quickly finds when questioned by others .
That he knows nothing at all.
