DarthICE Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Why can't Stroud play NT for us? Why do we need to get a NT? Too small
markghbelobils Posted March 5, 2010 Author Posted March 5, 2010 TOO SMALL! lol he is 6'6 like 320 pounds
billsfan89 Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Why can't Stroud play NT for us? Why do we need to get a NT? He had a very bad year last year. I think that he can rotate in as a NT but he can't be the primary option. I think if you draft Mt.Cody you can have Stroud be the 3rd down NT. I like Stroud to be a DE and a part time NT in the 3-4.
markghbelobils Posted March 5, 2010 Author Posted March 5, 2010 Yeah i think if we could land someone like jamal williams then he would fit nicely at the DE spot . That would be a mean defensive line if that happened....
Mike in Syracuse Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 All he needs to do is eat like a madman for three months, gain 40 pounds and he's basically a proven version of Terrance Cody. He's just as athletic, he's just no where near as fat. Apparently all you need to move from DT to NT is about 45 pounds of pure whale blubber on your mid-section and breasts like mudflaps.
iinii Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 TOO SMALL! lol he is 6'6 like 320 pounds That is actually the wrong size for NT. He is too tall, putting his center of gravity too high. NT should be somewhat low to the ground so they are hard to push off the point of attack.
seadog Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 TOO SMALL! lol he is 6'6 like 320 pounds Too small and too tall. You ideally want 350+ lbs and between 6' and 6'4". Stroud does'nt seem to play with a low enough center of gravity. Would be better suited for the 4-3 or maybe DE. All this talk of moving DT to DE and DE to LB is rubish. If a player is not natural at that given postion, you have potential disaster on your hands, which is what the Bills are headed for this year.
coldstorage5 Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 He is a 1 or 3 technique T, not a 0 technique T. With the 3-4 you need 0 Tech guy. He even said ne has never played the 0 tech. These play certain techniques all of there career. Not every one is Fred Smerles ( sorry about spelling)
San Jose Bills Fan Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 That is actually the wrong size for NT. He is too tall, putting his center of gravity too high. NT should be somewhat low to the ground so they are hard to push off the point of attack. Correctemundo. I thought even Nix and/or Gailey commented that Stroud was more suited to DE in a 3-4 than nose tackle. But I think he'd make a very nice 3-4 end. Hold the point of attack, get his arms up in the passing lanes, etc. Stroud is still pretty athletic too, IMO.
bills1960 Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Its just that hes hasn't played there before. Theres a huge difference between a 3-4 NT and 4-3 DT.
