Ive said that for a while about Malone...id like him and Clapp at C, Maea and Campbell Weathersby at G, Deculus and ??? at Tackle...think that line up COULD give us the mass needed on the line to compete with bama up front

Have you seen the weights on our line? Mass isn't the issue. It was the system we ran plus how they are conditioned.

If anything, we need these guys to trim up a bit and get lighter on their feet, especially at tackle, for better pass protection and movement. We aren't going to have just a straight ahead mauler running offense anymore. Canada's scheme spreads the defense out and attacks sidleline to sideline. However, that means that the line has to be versatile and athletic enough to cover that ground, too. This also goes for our TEs and FBs. I wouldn't be shoucked if we see small weight drops across the board as their S&C programs change with this new offense.
