I took my team to Pop Warner regional Championships (120-160lbs.), also playd Linebacker. Im a good back, but I think I'll be too small for Pro Ball When I grow up. I'm like a cross between Deangolo hall and Lendale white, hall's moves and white's power, but not very fast.\n\nmy ratings\nspeed:79\npower:92\naccelartion:80\nagility:97\nbreak tackle:90

i defiantly depends on the position.. i personally wasn't the biggest person on the field and i was a film rat. i would say watch as many films to know what your opponent is going to do before they do it. everyone has tendencies watch for motions watch peoples heads. but then again you cant coach size, speed, or a vertical.

Hello, yes!  Run to the wire.\n\nRhodes is sharing carries, so he is no better than a flex spot player at best.  Still, Samie Parker is the third or fourth option at best behind LJ, Gonzo, and somettimes Kennison.\n\nParker's never lived up to his potential.  This is why Dante Hall still gets a fair amount of time at WR.\n\nIf you don't need a WR on the bench, do this.

Lane easy.  I disagree that Wilson did better last year. \n        AB    r   2b  HR  RBI  BB  KO  SB  CS   OBP    AVG\nWilson  620  73   29  25   90  45  148  6   6  .325   .260\n\n        AB    r   2b  HR  RBI  BB  KO  SB  CS   OBP    AVG\nLane    517   65  34  26   78  26  27   6   2   .316   .267\n\nStatistically Lane and Wilson are about equal in raw production. Similer RBIs, BA and runs scored. Lane had 100 fewer ABs to generate those same stats. So Lane already had a better year than Wilson just considering that. \n\n148 KO??? Thats too many from a #4 power hitter. Anybody who bats Wilson in the 3-5 spots needs to have their head examined. Every KO is a ball not put in play. No chaance of an error. KOs are rally killers and usually the worst thing a player can do when they come up to bat. Wilson refuses to walk, doesn't hit for average. 148 KOs is actually a low total for him. This is the same Wilson who was benched one year to keep him from breaking the single season KO record. \n\nIf you look at Lane he also refuses to walk and has an abysmal OBP. Lane however struck out only 27 times over a full season. That means he's making contact. That also means that he got on base due to errors, moved runners over and at least made the fielders work to get him out. Quite likely a small adjustment by Lane and some of those balls drop in for hits. With Wilson's 148 KOs thats 148 times that all he did was strike out. No runners moved, didn't get on base. Didn't make a fielder move an inch. \n\nWilson is clearly out of his prime though I was never impressed with him in his prime. Wilson swings for the fences every at bat. This is a sure way to reduce scoring. Sure the one time in 15 he connects well with a ball it sails over the fence. Every fifth time he's up he strikes out. Lane is still reaching his prime and learning his craft. This year is a make or break kind of year for Lane. A good season and he'll likely put Wilson's best season to shame. \n\nNeither one steal bases. Lane at least only got caught twice. Defensively Wilson is nothing special. Lane I have not seen enough of to say. Can't be worse than Wilson though. \n\nSo I say no contest. Lane is by far the better player. Have no idea why the Astro's picked up Wilson when they really needed middle relief.

yes, all NFL linemen are on the hefty side.  Very strong and quick for being as stout as they are.\n\nThere aren't many famous offensive linemen, but there are a few famous defensive.  Mean Joe Greene is probably the most famous.  Deacon Jones, Randy White, Reggie White, Lawrence Taylor are the one's I can think of off the top of my head.\n\nDefensive lineman need strength and quickness, while offensive linemen need good footwork and balance to not get run over by the defenders who have momentum built up coming at them.

what do you mean by "push"? squat, leg press, or is that the weight of a weighted tackling sled? plus what is your age? not trying to offend, but you may be either a little too short or a little too heavy (the 40 time kind of shows that) to be playing linebacker. email me and give me some insight with specifics. i can answer any question you may have from weight training speed training and a great deal about football. hope to hear from you soon.

Without seeing you play, or perform even drills it is impossible for anybody on this board to tell you what position that you would be best suited to play. Alot would also depend on the type of defense your team plays. I you in an even front (4-3, 4-4, or even 6-2) or do you play an odd front (3-4, 5-2, or even 5-3). Does your team play an attacking 1 gap style or a more read and react 2 ga pstyle. \n\nWe don't know how strong or quick you are. We don't know the leve lof competion or size of the players in your league and team. On all but the biggest of HS football programs, 6 ft , 230 lbs is large enough to play Defensive line, OL or LB. \n\nBe aggressive, continue to work out, and havew faith that your coaching staff will put you in the best position to succeed and have your team succeed.

.You are kinda small for a DE. Have you (or the coaches) tried you out at another position? Maybe a RB? At your height, that would seem like the obvious position.\nThen a safety or cornerback. Remember...your still growing and continue to workout, that will always help tremendously, and the coaches (if they are any good) will find the proper fit for you.\nGood luck

Linebacker.....I'm not big enough to have played linebacker though, so I played strong safety. \nDefense is so much more fun than offense. It's better to HIT than be hit

You're solid at QB -- Bledsoe should get good numbers having TO to throw to.\nRunning back and receivers are fair, but not outstanding.\nAt tight end you have two of the best --- could possibly trade one for a RB or WR.\nElam rocks and will get you big points, especially if long-range FG's are worth more points in your league.\nDefenses are not bad --- Ravens aren't the force they once were but still are adequate. Bengals "D" will be on the rise as long as Marvin Lewis, who has a defensive background, is their Head Coach.\n\nGood luck this fall!!!! :)

He will only be as good as his O-Line.  If given a good Line then I'd say he'll rush for 800 yrds or more.  He has the speed and vision of a back but durability and strength he lacks.

I used to live in the bronx myself ur probably familiar w/ the school i used to go to too... Cardinal Spellman High School... About Ben Gordon he is a tough little man who does what he has to do... He's what a point guard in the league should be like... he's swifty and has a nice medium range and outside game which is very essential in the league because not many have these characteristics... But lets not show him any disrespect either the man can drive the lane just as hard as an AI. Don't forget he's the bulls sixth man too.

I agree with all the above stated answers to a point.  Bush, Young, and Leinart are all good players and will make an impact for their respective teams soon (hopefully).  But two names that aren't on this list that needs to be recognized are Laurence Maroney and Joseph Addai.  These two are the top rusher's for rookies (I believe) and yes they play for two very good teams and that helps, but part of that is skill.  I think ROY will go to Colston, he leads all rooks in receptions, receiving yards, and total TD's.  Not to mention he plays for a very good Saints team.

Receivers seem to think they are better than the team and they are too flashy for my liking.  Meanwhile guys like Troy Brown of the Patriots quietly breaks his team's career record for catches, and he also plays in the defensive secondary as an extra defensive back.  Now THAT is a team player!

He definitely has the credentials to go pro with all the records and stats he set in college. He should definitely check out NFL minicamps and try out for some teams. He wouldnt make the Draft because he came from a smaller school, but he definitely seems to be athletic enough to give it a shot at the camps.

The speed an strenth is great, as it is the natural requirements for the position. However one of the most important parts of being a good WR is proper route running. I would highly suggest you get with one of your coaches ASAP and have them work with you on how to run routes correctly. It sounds dumb, but there's more to it than you would think. Also, you need to learn the blocking schemes for your offense, and also proper blocking techniques, if you've never played before.
