But teh thing is. you exchange strength for dexterity. If you are strong, you are slow and less agile. E.g., without any gear, the big guys can just kill off the small, agile, dexterous guys. Rugby just has different rules, I think.
There are some big guys in the nfl that can keep up with the small RB's. Julius Peppers is one of them. He weighs about 300 pounds and he can take down any running back in the back.

We get good in one area and all others fail. We just need to get it all together at the same time in the same game.

Like that will ever happen. They are just a horrible team right now. They are my second favorite team, but they are one of the worst teams in the NFL right now.

GULFPORT, Miss. (AP)—If the Green Bay Packers are ravaged by injuries this season, Brett Favre might consider returning should the team reach out to him.“It would be hard to pass up, I guess,” he told the Biloxi (Miss.) Sun Herald. “But three months from now, say that presents itself, I may say, you know what, I’m so glad I made that decision. I’m feel very comfortable in what I’m doing and my decision.“Yeah, I can probably be up there doing that and playing, but again, I don’t know. It’s only speculating. I think the world of that team. I had a lot of fun, not only this year, but over my career.”But if Aaron Rodgers went down with an injury?“Aaron has fallen into a great situation,” Favre said. “And if that opportunity presented itself and they did call, it would be tempting. And I very well could be enticed do it.”“But to think that if they called me in October and told me, ‘Hey, we need you this week.’ That would be hard,” Favre said in a story that appeared on the paper’s Web site on Tuesday. “I’m sure mentally, I would be refreshed. I’d be away from it for a long time. But mentally versus physically, the last thing I’d want to do is go up and it’s ‘Oh this is great’ and all that stuff and me be excited and then just flop.“You just can’t show up and play.”There has been a steady flow of speculation that Favre would have a change of heart in the wake of the March 4 announcement the league’s only three-time MVP was retiring.“I guess the best response would be, right now no,” he said of a possible return to the game.Favre added he would not return unless he was in shape.“It would be hard to go up there at 38. It was hard to stay in shape. I say that, I worked out and I worked out hard,” he said. “Week in and week out, I was just drained. Finally, for the first time, I felt, not that 38 is old, but I looked around at practice and these guys are bouncing around. And I practiced every day and all the time people would ask me … `How do you do it? Inside I’m saying, ‘I have no idea.’ It’s a struggle(He might return. I knew it):D

I'm getting so confused lol. So equinox, you say that NFL are strong but not fast, while NRL are fast but not as strong?
I don't know anything about the NRL. I do know that most football players are stronger but not faster because of causalities. For instance, if you are hyper fast, but skinny (which is the price of being fast and agile), sooner or later you luck runs out and some brute charges into you, breaks your arms, legs, and spine. So, fast players don't play football. Only strong players do.

Europe defeats America in all non-American sports. Soccer, basketball, hockey, Americans lose. That's all I know.
There is nothing special a person can do that I haven't seen before.
Equinox, you dont know much about football do you?
It's a huge entertainment industry that drains tons of money which could serve a better purpose... what is there to know about it? It can only be despised.
sorry to disturb and i know everyone likes there own team or dont really care. just wanted to talk about the bears. ya kick rex grossman out. he sucks he droped more snaps than he throws for touchdowns last year. i say kyle orten. he can become a fair quarterback. the bear should and will draft a offensive line. the line sucked alot last year. and maybe some younger line. the lines getting old and we need new guys there so the old ones can sorta teach them more.
Uh, Equinox, strong players can be fast and fast players can be strong. I understand you don't like football or football players or anything that relates to football in any way but don't make false assumptions about it.

Uh, Equinox, strong players can be fast and fast players can be strong.
It's mechanically impossible. If you improve one, you have less time to spend on the other. Strong players can be fast, but then they will not be as strong as if they concentrated on strength, or as fast as if they concentrated on speed. They'll just be moderate. And most football players are just that, moderate, leaning here or there depending on position. The common football player won't outrun the common XC player... and I am not interested in genetic exceptions. :rolleyes:
It looks like you do not know football Equinox. Like Explorer said. As what Whiteghost said, big players can be fast. Apparemtly you do not watch football, so you would not know. It determines the position of where you are playing. The defensive line could take the RB in the back for a loss because he has three directions to go. He can go up the middle for a few yards, or there are the sides to go to. Most of the time a big defensive lineman will take the ball carrier down, and that is why they BLITZ as well. There are many fast Linebacker as well. An example would be: AJ Hawk. He is a good cover linebacker, where he can keep up with some Widereceivers. And. All sports cost a lot of money. Not just football. @Necronergal. I agree. Eventhough I am no Bears fan. Rex should be tossed out and Orton should be put in. I think Orton would be a better overall QB for the bears, and they do not seem to realize it.

I'm hoping chad will come here to Philly for sheppard and a 2nd round pick.
Marvin has said he isn't letting Chad out of his contract early. Plus with Henry gone - we REALLY need Chad now, so he isn't going anywhere.
