Pat Dye on Bryant practices:
“We had full speed contact. Best against the best. To develop talent, you got to do it at the speed the game’s played at.”

The players have changed since then.. bigger, faster, stronger.. that hard nose approach only gets guys hurt now days. It’s a different game at a different speed now. I agree going 100% at times let’s you know who’s the best.. but all the time gets you hurt. Every hit is like a car wreck now.. enough of those and your hurt. Bodies can’t take that kind of stress and damage. These guys aren’t 175lbs anymore

Today's players are much bigger, faster, and stronger.
In 1971, Tom Surlas started at MLB for Alabama. 5'11, 198. Moses is 6'3, 235.
John Hannah was 6'3, 274. That's hard to fathom today. The guys on our OL are as much as 50 pounds heavier or more and maybe 3 inches taller. Moses is getting hit with a lot more force, moving at a greater speed, than the LBs when Dye coached for Bryant.
