Pic Of Jesse Williams and Quinton Dial Standing Beside Each Other

[rolltide2213]

Perspective is a little off in that pic, plus Dial is wearing shoes and Williams isn't. That being said, Dial is billed as 6'6" 320 and a report recently said that Williams is down to 319 and I think he was listed at 6'4".

i think so.

Jesse's down to 319? I'd rather him be closer to 330-340 as earlier reported. I feel a true, massive NG is necessary.

 

[gtowntide]

I would not want to be the guy lined up across from either of them.

319lbs in shape is better than 340 out of shape any day.

It looks like they are laughing at the diminutive stature of the picture taker.

I think it was Nick Saban......:eek2:

I think they would look a little something like this.

I would be more like..

All of the big guys have lost weight with the 4th quarter program and will add it back prior to the 2011 season. I met Jesse on one of his visits last year. Barrett was his host and he was a full inch shorter than Barrett, so I would put him at 6'3". Jesse is broad and solidly built. I think he will make a good one.

Nice try, sport. :biggrin2:

Size 6/8, depending on the style of clothing. That is all.

Some people just have no couth. Gives the rest of us a bad rap. :biggrin2:

I don't care how big they are as long as their Nicknames are Cujo & Mad Dog.
(I want em mean, with a really nasty disposition toward strangers.)

6'3'' is a good height for DT. From a leverage standpoint being shorter than your competition gives you an advantage in being able to get under opponents pads and shed blocks. IMO

I love an intriguing, enigmatic beauty

Don't forget NFL Rookie of the Year Ndamukong Suh is only 307 pounds, and he's a big factor in every play. Some say he's the most dominant defensive lineman in the last twenty years. Fairley I believe was under 300 pounds and he shut entire offenses down (see BCSNCG). Williams will be fine, especially if he does add ten pounds back. It's all about strength, and Jesse has it. If he can handle the speed of the SEC, he has the physical tools to demand double teams.

Don't let her fool you. I've never heard of size 6/8...

Chapman has strength. What I hope Williams has in addition to strength is agility, the ability to use his strength, and quickness.
He needs to hurry up and play. I'm as guilty as anyone of expecting too much too quickly from him, but he's quickly becoming a legendary figure without even attending an official practice.

 

[bamaman07]

I think Quinton Dial and Brandon Moore could be equally as dominant on the LOS as Williams. Both of them are very disruptive and talented players.

"6/8" as in "6 or 8." GD, cut me some slack.

 

[CrimsonDynasT]

Jesse is so tough that he doesn't even need cleats!!!

Exactly. Chapman was never aggressive enough to make a huge impact, or else he just couldn't handle the speed of the game. I'm not expecting that from Jesse. But you are right about expectations for him getting out of hand. We're already billing this years defense as the "greatest ever" at Bama, in large part because of Jesse.

I get the "6/8" now, but I'm trying to figure out what GD stands for... GreatDanish, after all is one word... Oh, I got it.

So you'd rather have him carrying around an extra 21lbs of fat for the sole purpose of weighing a lot on a scale?

All I know about J. Williams is that the staff thinks he was the best recruit in the country last year.
