Joseph Newman. OL Coach at Post University. #hogfbchat

jasongrhmtx Apr 3 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A1. Technique can beat size most of the time. Give me a kid who is in the right place with the right technique. #hogfbchat

A1) Technique first. Love size and strength but someone who does the little things right wins! #hogfbchat

coachfraz1120 Apr 3 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A1: Size, strength and speed. Technique can be taught. You can't teach how to be big. #hogfbchat

SOC53 Apr 3 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A1 size only goes so far. I want guys who work hard to perfect and improve their craft every week. Can work w/size limitations #hogfbchat

fritts57 Apr 3 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A1: technique... but I love size & strength. Rare you find both. Had guys w/ great technique who would hold own with big boys. #hogfbchat

RogerBurtonwphs Apr 3 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A1: OL play is all about Heart ! They don't want there name in the paper , just want to get Nasty!! #hogfbchat

CoachEdwardsGV Apr 3 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Best offensive lineman we have ever had were not biggest fastest or strongest. Just smart, good technique and a little dirty. #hogfbchat

CoachStone_ Apr 3 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A1: nothing like having a huge athletic kid, but if a kid is slightly smaller,but has better technique he's the guy.Solid tech. 👍🏻#hogfbchat

canfbchat Apr 3 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A1) size/speed/strength because I think I can coach technique into them #hogfbchat

A1: Technique. The little things help win the trenches. #hogfbchat

atley_matthew Apr 3 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Most of our OL is under 250, but we averaged around 7 yards a carry. Technique can move a big lazy nose. #hogfbchat

CoachDingus - Moderator Apr 3 @ 9:17 PM EDT

Q1: would you rather have an OL with size/strength/speed or with great technique? #hogfbchat

CoachTuell Apr 3 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A1: all the above but I will take tech as priority. Can overcome a lot of other deficiencies. Scheme around them easier #hogfbchat

CoachPettinato Apr 3 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A1: You can't teach size and speed. I can turn a kid into a technician, I can't turn a kid into 6'4" 280 lb manchild. #hogfbchat

thereal_BVH_08 Apr 3 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A1: with what we do on Offense, I will take technique every day of the week. #DesireOverDesign #hogfbchat

coachrugs Apr 3 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A1: Technique all the way for my preference. I've seen a lot of technically sound OL beat up on bigger/stronger lineman. #hogfbchat

SOC53 Apr 3 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A1 cont. that being said I'll gladly take a big/strong kid who we can teach technique to. But it isn't the end all be all. #hogfbchat

Coach_AllenOh Apr 3 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A1: size strength and speed. Technique can be taught. It only takes you so far if there's nothing behind it #hogfbchat

CoachDingus - Moderator Apr 3 @ 9:17 PM EDT

Q1: would you rather have an OL with size/strength/speed or with great technique? #hogfbchat

CoachSmithKHS Apr 3 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A1: think at HS level, size/strength are big advantage vs most teams; tech doesn't have to be perfect if you can out-muscle #hogfbchat

CoachColeJr Apr 3 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A1 Can't teach size, speed, strength. I'd take 5 dudes like that, keep things simple and just roll people. #hogfbchat

PLesu07 Apr 3 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A1: contd. Teaching technique is our job, if everyone was born with it, what would we do? 😂 #hogfbchat

Coach_Marrs Apr 3 @ 9:20 PM EDT

ChadEllwood Apr 3 @ 9:21 PM EDT

All of the above would be nice, but technique shows that at one point in their past or right now, they have been coachable! #hogfbchat

Coach_MarkBrown Apr 3 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A1: An OL with great technique. Reason being if you have worked to get great technique you are going to have toughness and grit #hogfbchat

CoachDingus - Moderator Apr 3 @ 9:17 PM EDT

Q1: would you rather have an OL with size/strength/speed or with great technique? #hogfbchat

FISTFootball Apr 3 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Disagree. Intricacies of OL play take a while to learn. Teach basics easily, but punch timing, hand placement and steps are tough #hogfbchat

In reply to @CoachShiffman

Martidou14092 Apr 3 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Q1:this could go a lot of different ways. Will the big fast guys hit? Can u coach em up? How good is RB? Gimme the technicians #hogfbchat

CoachDingus - Moderator Apr 3 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A1: Guys with Guts and Technique! Makes life easier! #hogfbchat

Drillstack Apr 3 @ 9:21 PM EDT

lrscruggs Apr 3 @ 9:21 PM EDT

CoachBrassard Apr 3 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A1: size/strength/speed. 5 foot 2 115 pound tackles with great technique aren't winning many battles #hogfbchat

SOC53 Apr 3 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A1 at the HS level, so important to coach up the big/strong guys we get. Can't let a kid rely on strength and get in bad habits #hogfbchat

11across Apr 3 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A1: I had size (was 6'6" in HS), but was skinny & weak when I played, so I had to really lean on the tech my OL coach taught #hogfbchat

Q1: would you rather have an OL with size/strength/speed or with great technique? #hogfbchat

A4: I plucked a big kid out of the hallways. I challenged him in an xbox game and won. Turned him into an all state OL de year #hogfbchat

Coach_Perkins Apr 3 @ 10:01 PM EDT

FISTFootball Apr 3 @ 10:12 PM EDT

I don't want it to be over......... #hogfbchat

CoachMBounds Apr 3 @ 10:13 PM EDT

I am confident that I can teach anyone the techniques but a lineman with great technique is tough to beat. #hogfbchat

CoachDingus - Moderator Apr 3 @ 9:17 PM EDT

Q1: would you rather have an OL with size/strength/speed or with great technique? #hogfbchat

CoachShanley Apr 3 @ 10:18 PM EDT

Had a 190 lb. SR guard lead our team in OB's. Was a JV kid as a JR. Playing D3 ball next year. All heart and a whole lot of nasty #hogfbchat

CoachShiffman - Moderator Apr 3 @ 9:46 PM EDT

Q4: what is your best "OL convert" success story. #hogfbchat

CoachMBounds Apr 3 @ 10:18 PM EDT

I tell them OL is a position of pride. Only position where an 80% (4 out of 5 guys do their job) success rate is fallilure. #hogfbchat

CoachShiffman - Moderator Apr 3 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Q2: how do you motivate the "castoff" players who end up in your group after bouncing around? #hogfbchat

CoachMBounds Apr 3 @ 10:21 PM EDT

Took a 6'7 Senior Lax player. Started last 3 games. Had a lot of Juco looks. Would have been D1 if he played 2 seasons. #hogfbchat
