Genuinely curious, what’s the lure to A&M for elite defensive lineman?

Not meant as a flame and don’t bring up money, cheating, etc…

Aggie fans, y’all have produced some really good lineman/edge guys recently dating back to Von Miller.

Do y’all just have some good staff in that area that has stayed around or what?

Does it really matter they still can’t win? Lol

I guess you could say it doesn’t matter, but I do appreciate things like that. It’s kind of cool to see.

Similar to LSU with DBs. Can’t argue that LSU puts really good DBs in the pros.

Miller and Garrett are both from the Dallas area. Huge alumni base for aggies unfortunately for me.

They come for Terry Price's cooking, dude knows his way around the grill and bbq pit and his pre camp cookouts are LEGENDARY.

That dude just screams “best BBQ you ever ate”.

I mean literally he could be the face of rat poison and I’d be like, “bet that dude can cook BBQ”

Not really sure why we seem to get some of the best. I guess some schools are known for certain things and can help them get into the NFL.

Two most important position groups in football are the OL and DL. If you can take away the run, it really limits what the other teams offense can do. A lot of teams still have not figured that out yet.

Seriously, the key to beating Bama is running the ball (99% of the time). Obviously that’s harder said than done, but If you can control some clock, Saban gets taken away from his plan.

A lot of teams get away from the run and it kills them.

A&M just had our number through the air and it didn’t matter what we did this season.

You have to think that moving to the SEC will only help sustain trend. The Big 12 became a hurdle for defenders to overcome. There’s a label on that conference, which it MIGHT be starting to shed.

Over here, there’s an element of pride in defense.

Attempt at serious response - there is history. Coaches like RC Slocum and Bob Davie were good coaches who turned out NFL quality DLs and LBs. It became a tradition of the “Wrecking Crew” defense and a vocal fan base that got loud for their defense in one of the highest capacity stadiums in a football crazy state.

Just as easy to ask what the lure would be for elite DLs to go anywhere else.

It was a ton of misdirection we had not shown on film in previous games. We took Bama by complete surprise, and once adjustments were made, it was too late.

Hot women that have all their teeth.

Word on the street though is Price and Robinson are our top two recruiters and great at relating with the kids and building relationships. But that’s crazy talk. NIL fund, we are the only ones that have it figured out. (Rolling eyes)

That must be what stops LSU from doing it.

It's always nice to see an original take. I'm up for giving a&m all the shite they deserve but this is just some low effort copy/paste shite.
