Could be thinking of McCray. He came in at 200 as a LB and ended up around 250#. Interesting part about him is he was ask to play with his hand in the dirt at times in 2010-2011 but again we had a plug in Omar Hunter and studs like Floyd, Howard and Easley backed up with a couple of guys named Jenkins and Bostic.....Boy do a miss Durkin as a recruiter/LBer coach

Don't want to drag this too far off topic but whatever happened to the days(1990-2012) when at least half of our players seemed to show up, develop, and add 20-50# in a couple of years?
I know there have been a few like Bullard, Brantley and J. Davis but it's not entirely coincidental that recruiting has gone down over the last 8-10 years. And for the love of god somebody have Stricklin/Mullen put the directional signs to the cafeteria back up....

we have had several people show up and stay fat.
the cafeteria isn't the problem. it's the weight room they can't find.

I would trade Dwag choker and little Dwag GA "linebacker coach" for Durkin in a fraction of a microsecond.

The big difference is Durkin could recruit around any short comings he may have had as a DC....Toad simply lives for the exotic look.
Brings to mind the question, Are some guys, Saban, Meyer, Dabo and the like just that much better at reading a prospects mental make up and genetic capabilities? Guys like SOS, Booby and Osborne used to always do their final in home visit on a lot of recruits back in the day and many thought it was to gauge the family genetics....

The play of Lawrence Marsh was the difference between getting pushed around in 2007 and winning the National Championship in 2008. I thought he played great and let spikes run free on D.

This may be true, but there were a ton of Freshmen and Sophomores on D who learned from '07 to take huge leap forward in '08.

The questions about dillman centered around the number of injuries. It was more than just “unusually high.” It was at a “uga sent chump to destroy UF football” conspiracy theory level. The non-contact ACL injuries created a lot of questions regarding training philosophy and technique. Right or wrong, there was plenty of evidence to be concerned about dillman’s program.
While I agree Savage hasn’t lived up to the hype yet, he certainly seems to have beaten the “quit” out of the team that was around during the mac error. That’s still a positive.

So it was Mickey that took down the cafeteria signs on his way out.....
Guys like Bullard and Davis were ballers who probably would have been successful under any crappy coach....
Didn't McCray end up playing on the line because RoPo wasn't developing as fast as we wanted?

Olympic style lifting and cross fit was all the rage a few years ago and maybe still is. The problem I see with it for footballers is the competitive nature to want to lift more weight than the other guy. This often results in bad technique, which results in injuries, etc.
When you look at basic lifts like bench and leg press, not a lot of risk of injury. Add dead lift, risk goes up. Squats it goes up even more. Hang cleans not as bad, but power cleans and snatches are higher risk.
I never let my kids do squats or power cleans. Hang cleans, leg press, bench, military press, pull downs, rows, and dumbell supplementals. But I am not getting paid big bucks to train a whole team. I will say I never had a kid blow a knee on a non contact injury. Risk versus reward.
