Huard: "How much of today's college football, with all the spread and everyone throwing it all over the place (and not necessarily moving people at the point of attack) makes this somewhat of a necessity? That you have got to find physical difference makers whether they're playing D Line all throughout college or not?"
Cable: "Well, I think you nailed it Brock. I think that's exactly what is going on -- and I'm not offending or wanting to offend anybody, but college football offensively has gotten to be really, really bad fundamentally. And so you see these big bodies and you think, 'Well, he's 6'5" this, and he's 300-this, and his arms are this and that -- and then you watch him and he's not a finisher, he doesn't strain, and he can't pass set, and he can't stay on balance, and he can't play with leverage -- and you start finding all of these negatives. And you look at it and say, 'Well, I can go get a guy who runs a little faster, maybe jumps a little higher, that's got an aggressive streak in him (at least I can see that on defense) and just start with him. I'm going to have to re-train an offensive lineman that's coming out of college right now anyway. So, you nailed it. Unfortunately, I think we're doing a huge disservice to offensive football players other than a receiver that comes out of these spread systems because the runners aren't as good -- they're not taught how to run. The blockers aren't as good. The quarterbacks aren't as good. They don't know how to read coverage and how to throw progressions and they have no idea."
