Rocket Sanders

[Sleepyhead]

I find it hard to believe he’s 6’ 230lbs. He looks big. Either he’s 5’11” 235 or playing at 240 or something. Are there ever updates on player height and weight?

What ever size he is; we have to figure out a way to replace him next year. He is a major reason we are 9 and 3. Although he only played one season for us, I put him right up there with Lattimore.

Lattimore? Not even close!

You’re probably right. Lattimore was a stud. I over reacted on that comment.

I think Sanders has physical talent on the same order as Lattimore. Obviously Lattimore played parts of 3 seasons for us, was a folk hero in more than 1 game, and was a more featured part of the offense.

But I see where @Hoganman1 was going there.

Different types, I believe, but both able to impact games.

I think Lattimore had better OL play. But Sanders’ contribution to this offense this season has been close to Lattimore-like.

We. Are. Going. To. Miss. Him next season!! I don’t think we have another back in the RB room to come close.

I couldn't agree more about Lattimore having better offensive line play. Both of Spurrier's first line coaches, offense and defense, were duds, and he had to fix those. The Lattimore & Clowney teams benefited from those upgrades. We all did.

I will forever remember Sanders for his not-to-be-denied catch and run that scored the game winner against Missouri. He's a great back and exactly what we needed this year.

But it's a disservice to him to compare him to Lattimore.

Yes, they update it from time to time but you must not be familiar with why those stats are made that way......

The point is for opposing teams to look at it and go "Oh my God, he's 8 feet tall and shoots flaming rockets out his butt."

It's all BS for the most part. Vaguely accurate at best. Same with Basketball height / weight.

I get they may get an inch and five pounds or something but I would say they are fairly accurate for the most part. It’s not gonna be a 3 inch thirty pound difference.

I would say if anything they do these for a small wide receiver that they don’t want to list at 155. Everyone on the defense is every bit of what they are listed at.
