Aaron Sears is a fat slob. Someone needs to tell CPF that fat offensive lineman doesn't equal good offensive lineman.

i think UT sports lists Sears currently as 320 lb.

Toenia had the same problem last year. Too much weight to be effective against a 260 lb DE. They are slow and dont use good leverage with their pads, getting lower then the DE.

I would rather have a smaller O-Lineman with a "nasty streak" as opposed to a lazy O-Lineman that is bigger and more talented.

I'm 5'9'', 180. However, I guarantee if I said it with Patrick Willis or Ray Lewis standing behind me, he'd slink off after apologizing for annoying me. Also, I'd have no problem saying it to him. I've never said anything on this board I wouldn't say directly to the individual I'm opining about.

I guess that depends on if Ray had a knife or not.

Just so you know. I will stand on my own and say to someone what I say on here as well. But I am quite a bit bigger than 5'9" 180. I can't even remember sub 2's and under 6. Maybe 7th or 8th grade.

Aaron Sears has played like an All-American this year, and he'll be a very high draft pick in the 2007 draft. If the guy keeps playing well, I don't care if he's 400 pounds.

I can't imagine Sears playing like an All-American and UT having -11 yds rushing against Florida. What UT never tried to run behind Sears that game?

1 out of 5 offensive linemen playing well doesn't cut it. Coach Fulmer pointed out after the game that Sears was the only guy who put forth a winning effort in the Florida game.

What about running off-tackle? That play is designed for the tackle sealing off the DE and is the running play UT runs most.

If the tackle is modestly effective the RB should be able to get a couple yards before the LB can make a tackle. So why didn't that play work against Florida if Sears as you described is playing like an All-American?

Are you saying you want to put a whoopin on Sears? :)

In the spirit of diplomacy I will go out on a limb and say that at the very least I have expected more out of Sears. This offensive line is just not that athletic.

Not at all. I like the guy. I was just responding to hate. I didn't mean anything by my post other than I will say in person what I say on this site or on a phone or any other form of comunication.
I happen to think Sears is a pretty good O lineman.

We got a couple of yards sometimes, but it wasn't good enough. Your disputing that we didn't run the ball well against Florida because Sears didn't play well enough. That's ONE offensive lineman. Are you kidding me? Why don't you take this one up with Fulmer. I didn't watch game tape like CPF did, so I don't know exactly how well Sears played. However, according to CPF, Sears was the only one who put forth a winning effort.

If you're right... well, then I hope Sears plays well against Memphis so we can run the ball. It doesn't matter how well everyone else plays... as long as Sears does his job... we'll run the ball effectively.

Ha... give me a break.:good!:

OKIE, not being a smart____ but have you ever played on the D line? If an oline only has one good and 4 not so good it makes for a fun day for the D linemen. Shooting the gap or blowing through and angle block is easy when you can go either side of just one O linemen. If an O line has 2 good and 3 not so good it makes a huge difference in what you have to do in order to get penetration.

It makes more sense then what your telling me, that we have an all-american at offensive tackle and cant rush for positive yards against Florida. Even when the majority of the running plays are off-tackle to his side?

For the last few years, UT has been able to run the ball even when they only had success running to one side behind 1 or 2 lineman.

Alabama ran Shaun Alexander almost exclusively behind Chris Samuals and led the SEC in rushing. While UT can't even rush for positive yards in some games?

I'll put it like this. If I know that a team only has one good O lineman that they will most likely run behind him. That means that I will focus my attention on him and be prepared to hit the gaps to stop the run. One O lineman can only handle one D lineman and if there is a really good D lineman you have to double him. That is why it is so hard to run when you only have one good o lineman.

Well let me put it like this, at the end of the season, I don't think Sears is named an All-American or 1st team All-SEC. He will probably be mentioned on the second team SEC team, if he plays well the rest of the year.

Name me one AA lineman that didn't have a good corp around him. Ever. I can't think of one. The fact is the O line is more than one person big time.

I'll ask again. Have you ever played D line?

I'm not making excuses for the O line play because they have not been nearly as good as they need to be. But that does not mean that Sears has not played well or is not a very good O lineman.

This is pretty funny. So.....if we run behind the one great offensive lineman we have we should be able to get good yardage....right? I mean as long as he is actually really good. Nevermind that he can only block one person and the defense has a DL in the gap on one side of him, a DE on the gap on the other side of him, and a LB lined up right in between them??? So, if Sears was actually good (which of course he is not, he only got SEC OL of the week last week, must be horrible) we could run right behind him and despite the fact that there are 3 accountable defenders in his area we should get good yardage? Good suggestion Vince Lombardi.

Micahel Munoz made All American teams. Both he and his teammates were average at best.
