Deadlift
Hall of Famer
Over the years, "size" has been emphasized for OT and "speed" has been emphasized for DE -- so what is the end result? Ponder that...
So, OT's have gotten bigger and a good portion of new DE's are on the smaller-framed and lighter side. Who benefits? Is it the bigger OT who has to move his higher body-weight laterally? NO!
Could the result of this be more sacks? Could the result of this be the media-crowning of more black (because of the Caste System) "sack gods?" Because this experiment didn't just start, I wonder if there has been more sacks? Personally, I suspect so but the "experts" will most likely attribute it to advanced, pressure defense packages. That claim would be irrelevant, though, because more agility, intelligence, fighter-pilot precision and athleticism couldn't hurt an O-Line. Every moment counts when trying to protect the QB.
Just think -- if it wasn't for White men like Trace Armstrong, Jared Allen, Patrick Kerney, Kyle Vanden Bosch and so on -- EVERYBODY would think that ONLY "black DE speed and strength" can get around and abuse sumo OT's.
Now, I do realize that many black DE's are busts and that some of the smaller one's lack prototypical strength for the position, but we all know that it isn't that difficult for the Caste media to turn many black DE's into STARS.
White DE's are often times used a lot against the run and rack up a bunch of tackles plus some sacks. Yet, when a White DE racks up 70 tackles and 8 sacks and a black DE gets 25 tackles and 10 sacks -- who gets more press? The black is a "sackmaster" for hitting double-digits in a 16 game season. Give me a break...
There's a lot more Whites that could dominate these sumos if given the opportunity, first and foremost, in the College game.
