Agree 100%, I believe they just weren't motivated by the previous staff. Quote Link to comment

Maybe it has something to do with the actual lack of physical strength exhibited through the season...?? PS... not seeing anyone really "complaining" about or asking for "toned" abs... but hey... this is just my opinion and is in no way a personal attack... Quote Link to comment

You're trying to correlate the look of one player to another and then draw shaky conclusions between the two. People are built differently even when they're the exact same height. If you want to criticize a linemen's strength and fitness, find his measurable stats and have it. This thread is full of some pretty asinine hot takes right now. 5 Quote Link to comment

Well considering that Alabama's line pushed defenders around and Nebraska's line got pushed around by defenders, it stands to reason that they are a stronger group. The picture is just further evidence of that. Conjecture would be saying that not a single one of our linemen would have started at Alabama this year, although it's probably an opinion that most people would agree with. Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Alabama's offensive line is not better simply because they're stronger. Getting pushed around has to do with leverage, technique, fundamentals, attitude and strength, and that's my point. If I took photos of a few dozen offensive lines around the country and photoshopped an Alabama uniform onto each of them, most of this board would have no clue who the real Alabama line is. 3 Quote Link to comment

And of course you posting a single pic of two guy standing around with guts was actually supposed to convey that your main complaint was their physical strength while playing during the season. Can't believe I missed that. 1 Quote Link to comment
