For the foreseeable future and beyond, Bama still going to be stacked. SEC will still be fricked.

He was like 240 at that game.
6'3 255 at the Army game according to Rivals: LINK
He was 260-263 by the time he finished high school.

Besides a lot of players get big/fat on their own. That's why the health coordinator and strength and condition coach are there.
He wasn't too fat or out of shape. He was just bigger. He added a ton of muscle his senior year. If he had been out of shape, he wouldn't have gotten playing time as a true freshman.
4 years ago we might've at least started him out at OLB. But we appear to be moving away from jumbo OLBs and toward smaller, quicker OLBs (Evans, Miller, Brown) and at least a some smaller more explosive DEs (Allen, Hand) to combat HUNH.
My basic point is that we didn't add a ton of weight to Allen and turn him into a DE, he was a DE from the first day of practice.

He played inside a bunch on Saturday too. He couldn't hold the point of attack at all. I hope that experiment is over.

Yeah, keep guys like Allen/Hand/Pettway on the edge. Play guys like A'Shawn, Reed, and Tomlinson inside.

My point is that it doesn't matter what he eats himself into, we have the determining factor of what he would be. So if he is a certain size it isn't because he wants to be it, it's because our staff has chosen that.

I'll wait to see what they do with Evans and Miller.

He's not fat, nor was he ever. Just feel like that needs to be made clear.

Evans is a solid 220, MAYBE 225 right now. Miller is 210-215 at best. Doubt they get too big.

Not necessarily. Physiology is a factor. Why aren't Ryan Kelly and OJ 15 pounds heavier if the staff has total control of players' weight/size? Because their physiology is resistant to that change.
His junior year, Allen looked like Jason Taylor. By the Army game he looked like a completely different type of player/build. I suspect it would be very difficult if not impossible to undo an 18 year old's recent physical development so we get that Jason Taylor type player back.

Not a big game , but any recruits expected this weekend?And yes every game is big.

Speaking of OJ and weight. I wouldn't mind him staying at 250 or less. If he loses his ability to outrun DBs, he's gained too much.
