Not to attempt to make an azz out of anyone else or umption. But there may be a bit of sarcasm in that post ? Perhaps in an attempt to "spoof" my particular brand of disdain for some Tomlin Regime personnel decisions and or it's players ?

Nothing personal dude,..but i honestly do not comprehend this line of thinking.

If Hood already has questionable lower body strength for his size, problems with leverage and pad level, AND is 6 ft 3 and often struggles with single blockers as a 3-4 End,......how does that make him qualified in any way to play at the 'spearhead' position of NT ?

But, Hood doesn't have questionable lower body strength...the only time I ever read that was in this post...

Now, pad level was a problem coming out of college, but that is something that coaching should solve...

During his successful college career at Mizzou, he played inside at DT...he was good there and I have seen no reason to believe that he has somehow been a failure at 5 Tech nor that he could not be a successful NT in the same mold as a Chris Hoke or a Jason Ferguson...

In fact, I think he would be better if he were closer to the QB...

Yup...found this quote from the Big Snack:

“Ziggy’s a big, strong guy. He’s a different type animal,” Hampton said. “He might be the strongest player on the team. Ziggy can pretty much play on the line where he wants to. I’ve got that old-man strength. He’s got that still-in-the-weight room strength.”
