Surry County and Mount Airy City schools staff as well as local law enforcement officials remain vigilant in an effort to soothe tensions following the Dec. 15 slaying of 26 students and adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Ct.
Surry County Sheriff Graham Atkinson is having patrolmen check on schools more frequently for the near future. He said manpower and the number of schools served dampens a larger presence. He said the high level of cooperation between county and city schools with law enforcement has allowed for lockdown scenarios to be practiced.
"I believe cooperation has served us very, very, very well. We actually do live unannounced lockdown drills," explained Atkinson. "We did some at the first of this year. Nobody knows when we will walk in and say lock down this school. Then we go and check to see if procedures were followed. I think this has given us an advantage. We do these drills in schools all the way from elementary to high school."
"We have safe campuses," said Mount Airy School Superintendent Dr. Gregory Little. "We continually review our procedures, policies and plans in regards to this and we will continue to do this in the days and weeks ahead. We'll do what we have to do to be sure they are as safe as they can possibly be. We'd do this even without a tragedy in Connecticut."
Atkinson pointed out drills like this make sense. Procedures for tornadoes and weather-related disasters have been practiced for years.
"People react the way they are trained," said Atkinson. "While we cannot guarantee anything like this will never happen, having this training gives us a good chance to save as many as possible."
Surry County Schools Superintendent Dr. Ashley Hinson told parents in a message communicated via telephone that he realized the anxiety the shooting had caused on the part of students, school staff, parents, law enforcement, government officials and the community.
"All of us put the safety and well-being of our children first and all of us do everything possible to assure their safety and we work together to do all we can to prevent such an event," said Hinson. "I have spoken with Sheriff Atkinson and he and I want to assure you that we have a plan for every school and we practice the plan regularly just like we do fire drills. We do all we can and we pray that nothing like what happened in Newtown will ever happen here, but we know it can happen everywhere."
Hinson said school staff is prepared to help with the psychological and emotional issues of students and parents, and if parents need to speak with someone at school about this, they were not to hesitate to contact them.
Mount Airy Police Department Information Officer Lt. Kelly Hiatt reported the moment the department heard about the slayings patrols at city schools were beefed up using any sworn officer in addition to the regular patrol officers on the beat. Hiatt said this department plans on continuing this for the near future.
Surry County Emergency Services Director John Shelton said local schools had done an excellent job in controlling points of entry to schools and mounting appropriate surveillance and detection cameras. He said county and school staffs do an excellent job of identifying anyone who comes on their campuses. All the schools have systems in place where visitors have to check in, be photographed and wear identification badges.
"They are excellent all across our schools at quickly identifying persons who are on their campus," said Shelton. "You couldn't ask for better cooperation with public safety agencies than we have with county and city schools. What scares me is it (the Sandy Hook shootings) happened in a small community like our own. At best, what we can do is to have security issues announced and make sure we address what is happening."
Shelton agreed with sociologists who have likened the effects of such traumatic acts to throwing a rock in a pond. The waves continue out from the event and affect a much wider area. He said the nation is at the beginning of a long process where not only victims' parents and first responders and law enforcement in the Newtown area will be affected, but the country at large.
"We can try to help children cope with this by explaining bad things do occur, but they are safe and we'll do our best to remain safe," said Shelton. He said long-term effects will be experienced by first responders, fire, rescue and police on the scene at Sandy Hook Elementary.
"Anybody who has any heart when you see this," continued Shelton. "It touches everybody not only those directly affected by the tragedy."
Surry County Schools psychologist Randy Mays stressed the need for parents to really make a point of being there to spot and answer any anxiety their children may have.
"The main thing is to be honest with them when they ask you about this," said Mays. "Stick to the facts. Don't embellish or speculate. This tragedy is big, but don't start by emphasizing this. I would also suggest limiting the amount of time they are watching television in the short term so they do not become overwhelmed with the news coverage."
Mays pointed out studies indicating young children who had watched continuous coverage of the 911 attack came to believe the attack was happening every day not just once.
"Just try to reassure them about the safety of our schools. Point out that schools have lockdown drills so people know what to do. I think it's important parents make sure they are calm and focused not upset, because children will take a cue from you."
He said parents could further help children who wanted to talk about this by telling them people react in many different ways to things like this and it's OK to be upset, for instance.
"The biggest thing is spending time with them. Keep a normal routine but give them a little more reassurance with an extra hug or leaving that light on at night if they feel they need it," said Mays. "Another big thing right now is to monitor your child … if they have had a loss or if this event seems to trigger something like they aren't eating or sleeping."
Mays said professional counselors and resource persons are available in all schools and can help parents who feel overwhelmed as well as students. He encouraged parents to contact schools to find out about resources for them.
"It's the holidays and that alone serves as a great time to turn the TV off and spend some time together listening," said Mays. "A lot will depend on how much children were exposed to this."
Mays said that holidays in general can be a time of great stress for parents and families who have experienced loss.
"If parents are overwhelmed, we're always there. We can talk with them and get them resources to help," said Mays.

New Year's Resolutions: Staying Motivated
Whether you're trying to quit smoking, lose weight or start exercising, lifestyle changes are hard work. In fact, 3 out of 4 Americans find they face major hurdles when they are trying to alter a habit.
Once you get started, staying motivated can be its own hurdle. Having a game plan at the outset is important to staying the course, but you should also have a plan to address your obstacles.
Whatever your goal is, here are a few pointers for keeping on track and staying motivated this year:
- When starting out, create a road map for change. Whether you write it down or create a document on your smartphone, make it specific and realistic.
- Plan ahead. Consider what time and resources you need and then plan accordingly. For example, if you're trying to eat better, make sure to have healthy snacks on hand, wherever you go. If you want to be more active, set aside time during your lunch or a coffee break to take a walk.
- Don't go it alone. Having a friend, family member or coworker at your side who is working on a similar goal can make it easier to stick with your plan. Talk to your friends and family members about your interest in leading a healthier life and invite them to join you in your efforts if they have a similar goal.
- Set realistic expectations by breaking your overall goal into small, doable parts. For instance, if you want to lose weight, write down how much you want to lose altogether and how much you plan to lose each week. You'll be more likely to stick with a plan in which you see yourself regularly meeting your goals.
- Keep track of your other health improvements. It's easy to stay motivated when you see what other benefits you get from your new lifestyle choice. If your goal was to stop smoking, notice that your blood pressure has decreased. If your goal was to get more exercise, pay attention to your increased level of energy. Noting these additional perks will help you stay on track.
- Ask for help if you need it. If you're finding it difficult to make changes on your own or you're starting to lose focus, ask your doctor or a therapist for assistance. They can help you take the right steps towards meeting your goal.
Above all, don't get discouraged if you get off track. Change is a process that takes time. Renew your focus and resolve, then start again.

I'd like to nominate the following members:
Sugar - she owes me a song.. might as well read about her intimate personality
0-0-0 - who wouldn't want a free interview with one who likes to deal under the table!!!
Essie, you forgot to mention ghostdarTeal'c, one of the people that I'd voted, on the first page.
In addition, just to clarify, I noticed that the names of the people who have already been interviewed are highlighted, thus, are we excluding them for this interview?
I'd personally think that everyone (in the top 10) should be interviewed, regardless whether or not they have been interviewed before. If they capture the popular votes, then obviously, there is more to this person that people are interested in information that perhaps we didnt capture in the Mod or Translator interview.
Yah I forgot dear Sugar

In 1967, Pope Paul VI, who charted the Catholic Church through the difficult shoals of the cultural upheavals of the 1960s, published an encyclical, or open letter to the church, entitled Sacerdotalis Caelibatus (Latin for "Of the celibate priesthood").
In it, he outlined the reasons for keeping the tradition of celibacy a part of church teaching: it was a superior way of achieving grace, it freed priests from familial obligations in order to devote themselves to God, it mirrored heaven as a place without marriage.
"In any case, the church of the West cannot weaken her faithful observance of her own tradition," Pope Paul VI wrote at the time.
Britain's most senior Roman Catholic, Cardinal Keith O'Brien, told the BBC in February that many priests struggle to cope with celibacy and should be able to marry and have a family. Just three days later he was forced to resign over allegations of a 30-year-old sex scandal with seminarians in his charge. O'Brien later admitted his conduct had "fallen below the standards" expected of a priest.
"I'd be very happy if others had the opportunity of considering whether or not they could or should be married. It's a free world and I realize many priests have found it very difficult to cope with celibacy as they lived out their priesthood, and felt the need of a companion, of a woman, to whom they could get married and raise a family," he told the British news agency.
O'Brien is not the first or the highest ranked Catholic to question the tradition of priestly celibacy. In 1993, at a weekly audience, even Pope John Paul II said celibacy did "not belong to the essence of the priesthood." Even so, he qualified this, saying there was "no doubt about its suitability and indeed its appropriateness to the demands of sacred orders."
Celibacy in the Catholic Church is a law, not a doctrine, and can be changed by the pope at any time. Despite this, Pope Benedict XVI made it clear during his tenure that the traditional practice was unlikely to change.
The Rev. Joseph Fessio, founder and editor of the U.S.-based conservative Catholic publishing house Ignatius Press, told Boston's The Good Catholic Life radio in February that while celibacy is a discipline and not a dogma, it made it no less an important part of the Catholic Church.
"People say celibacy is only a discipline, but it's not only a discipline," he told the radio program. "It's something the church in its wisdom for 2000 years has recognized as a closer, more exact, more profound following of the example Jesus set us."
In the meantime, the arguments against celibacy have been mounting.

"We hope all Virginians have taken note of these storms and will now take steps to be ready for the storms that winter could bring." What should Virginians do to prepare for winter weather? Here are several safety tips from the governor's office:

One student at West Point High School, Oak Hill Academy and Hebron Christian School is going to get a little help with college next fall, providing they are planning to attend Mississippi State University. The MSU Alumni Chapter in West Point will be hosting its fourth-annual golf tournament to raise money for scholarships that will go to one Bulldog-bound student from each area high school. The golf tournament, which will be played on May 6, 2013 is the primary way the chapter raises money for these scholarships.
The Oak Hill Academy Lady Raiders will kick off State Tournament play at Canton against Columbia at 4 p.m. The OHA boys will follow directly at 5:15 p.m. against Central Private (Louisiana). Photo Courtesy of Kristen Stevens
Recently, I ran across a quote from the current Biggersville basketball coach Cliff Little in a tweet from Southern Sentinel's Kedrick Storey. Coach Little in reference to his upcoming opponent, Blue Mountain, said that they were "hungry…They're like a man by a dumpster looking for a crumb." Though some may see that as a slight at Blue Mountain or maybe even a negative remark about homelessness, Coach Little's remark about Blue Mountain was the biggest compliment. Never would I want to be in an all-out brawl with someone who was that hungry.
The Lady Raiders had won three straight games in the MAIS AA North Tournament taking Oak Hill all the way to the championship game Saturday afternoon. Under the direction of head coach Stan Hughey, Oak Hill vanquished the Riverdale Academy Lady Rebels to open the tournament and gutted out two wins over Marshall Academy and Prairie View Academy in route to the championship.
It's time for West Point High School softball again. The 2013 campaign saw its first pitch this past weekend at Caledonia. The WPHS girls will take the field at home again on February 26. The 2013 Lady Green Wave softball roster is Tytianna Anderson, Qiayon Bailey, Breanna Bigham, Tori Boatner, Chamiya Brownlee, Anissa Burnett, Ashli Coggins, Mahailya Dearing, Elizabeth Dexter, Alexis Gates, Savannah Hodnett, Jequailia Huggins, Shamiya Lyles, Tempestt Mill, Shaerica Moore, Audrianna Randle, Kaylee Rhea, Shala Robertson and Abby Scott.
Following a 57-48 loss at the hands of Leake Academy, the Oak Hill Academy Raiders found themselves in the consolation game of the AA North State Tournament. The loss to Leake on Friday did not eliminate the Raiders from postseason contention but placed them with a lower possible seed heading into this week's state tournament. Standing in the way of Oak Hill for the third seed was district 2-AA mate Canton Academy.
The Lady Raiders continued their postseason run in the MAIS AA North State Tournament on the campus of Leake Academy. In the quarterfinal round, Oak Hill met up with division 1-AA opponent Marshall Academy. The Lady Raiders and Lady Patriots had played twice during the regular season, splitting the series.
Oak Hill has enjoyed the postseason this week with wins over North Delta School and Central Hinds Academy, the number one seed from district 3-AA. These two wins during the week placed the Raiders into the MAIS AA North State semi-finals and punched their ticket into the AA State Tournament. Friday night the Raiders returned to the hardwood to take on the Leake Academy Rebels in their third match-up of the season. In the previous two meetings, the Rebels had gotten the better of Oak Hill defeating the Raiders both times.
David Henley has one rebound come right into his hands during Saturday's game.
In a time where remakes of movies are coming out constantly and every thing is starting to look the same, it is always refreshing to see something that stands alone.

I just moved to Florida a few months ago, and since I was born and raised a New Englander (or a Yankee as they so lovingly refer to us down here hah), I have made a point to enjoy the beach as much as possible while I'm here. Especially during the winter season when I would normally be shoveling snow. I love to hunt for sea shells (don't we all) and I live here on the Treasure Coast where there are gold coins that wash up from time to time. I haven't yet been so lucky….but I hold out hope! I have amassed a giant collection of shells, and not much to do with them, so I have started to try and find unique ways to use them in art or for functionality.
I found this shell still and I noticed it was still in tact, it was like a little trinket box because it had such a deep basin. After I had brought it home and it dried, the muscles that was holding it together came apart, so I decided to put it back together and give it a clasp so I could use it as a little stash box for secrets.
I used a few things I had laying around, it couldn't have been easier.
- Glue Gun
- Small piece of felt (Mine was about 1×2 inches)
- Heavier weight embroidery thread or yarn
- Vintage Button
1. I arranged the shell with a small space where they will be joined because I wanted it to open easily, and also because I wanted to do a line of embroidery down the center.
2. I measured the string that I would be using as the clasp around the outside of the shell, including the small gap, and added an inch for the button loop. Then I doubled that length. I buttonhole stitched the entire length so that it was a bit sturdier. Here is a great tutorial for the buttonhole stitch and loop.
Now you should have a sturdy string with a button on one end and a loop on the other that fits snugly around your shell.
3. Close the clasp around your shell and glue gun the felt piece on the bottom to secure it in place. Let it cool and harden.
4. I decided to make mine into a necklace so I measured out a loop that would go over my head and enough extra to stitch down the center of the box, in between the shells, so that the necklace would be secure and none of the glue I used would show.
and that's all! It was easy and fun. I love the way it came out. My next project is making these certain seashells I find (long skinny ones) and creating some terrarium seashell amanita mushrooms

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana teens are drinking less alcohol than in the past, but are more likely than their U.S. counterparts to commit suicide, according to a new study of young people's health risks.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2011 survey, released Friday, found that the number of Indiana high school students who admitted to binge drinking within the previous 30 days had declined by 9 percent compared with 2003. The number who had drank at all within the previous 30 days also declined.
Students in Indiana were less likely than others across the U.S. to have driven a car when drinking alcohol, declining from 12 percent in 2003 to 5 percent in 2011.
They also were less likely than teens in other states to have had their first drink of alcohol before they were 13 years old, the study found.
But the study also found that Indiana teens were more likely to attempt suicide, with that number rising from 7 percent in 2003 to 11 percent in 2011.
Allen County Health Commissioner Deborah McMahan told The Journal Gazette of Fort Wayne that prescription drug abuse was rapidly increasing in popularity among teens.
"I'm wondering if we are seeing a decrease in alcohol consumption simply because the teens have switched to something else," she said.
Many teenagers are stressed and depressed, she said, and tend, like adults, to self-medicate.
State Health Commissioner Gregory Larkin saw other unhealthy behaviors among Indiana's youth.
"It's encouraging to see the improvement Indiana high school students have made in reducing alcohol-related health risk behaviors," Larkin said in a news release. "However, childhood obesity remains a serious health risk for our young people. The survey demonstrates that we still need to make improvements in the areas of nutrition and physical activity."
According to the CDC study, 85 percent of Indiana high school students didn't eat as much fruit and vegetables as the government recommends, and were less likely than others to get enough exercise.
The survey focuses on students' health risks and behaviors in six categories: alcohol and other drug use, injury and violence, nutrition, physical activity, sexual behavior and tobacco use. It is conducted every two years among a representative group of students in grades 9-12.
The report can be viewed at: http://www.cdc.gov/HealthyYouth/yrbs/index.htm

Chemical operators in demand locallyFebruary 4, 2013The Washington County Career Center continues to train chemical operators, but demand in the Valley and beyond is showing no signs of slowing down.... BeRightI agree that DuPont may want to shed some of their businesses, but the Washington Works makes products which are in demand, is welll managed and has a good workforce. That plant will be there for some time, but maybe it will be under new management. It was unforunate for the GE workers next door to have fallen under the leadership of Jack Welch. They were forced to step up and perform or lose their jobs. Drive past the old GE plant and see how that worked out. 1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » funfunThe trouble with DuPont as a prospective employer is the reality the Company has been and is shrinking big-time. Ellen Kullman, DuPont Chieftess, wants to concentrate on the kitchen, corn, beans, and food additives. She is determined to ditch chemicals and materials.

Zach Braff pantomime villain update.
It may be the exact same set-up as the last Anchorman 2 teaser but it doesn't matter, the entire thing is still hilarious.
The Wolfpack is returning for their swan song soon and Warners Bros have released a red band trailer in anticipation of this.
It's a recap of the first two films before showing us the new stuff, and if you ask me I think it looks pretty goddamn funny.
Chris Pine, fresh from helming the Enterprise, has reportedly signed on for a cameo role in Stretch, reuniting him with director Joe Carnahan.
It looks like Ewan McGregor is finally willing to forgive and forget! In March we heard that Danny Boyle was planning on making a long-awaited sequel to Trainspotting in 2015. However, McGregor's involvement has always been doubted. He had always said how he would rather be known for a critically acclaimed original than for its inferior sequel. It's also well known that McGregor hasn't spoken to Boyle since a feud they had over Boyle's decision to cast Leonardo DiCaprio in The Beach rather than McGregor (it was really a studio call).
However now McGregor has come out and said to Time Out website that he is ready to leave the old grudge behind and move on.
Seth MacFarlane is wasting no time assembling a stellar cast for his 2nd live action outing. He adds Neil Patrick Harris to the western A Million Ways to Die in the West, MacFarlane's follow-up to last year's mega hit Ted, which took nearly $550m worldwide. With MacFarlane himself taking the lead, he's joined by Liam Neeson, Charlize Theron, Amanda Seyfried, Giovanni Ribisi and Sarah Silverman.
One of the most pleasing and reassuring pieces of recent film news has been Warner Brothers' commitment to financing and distributing Paul Thomas Anderson's next project. The multiple Oscar nominee struggled for some time to gain backing for his enigmatic 2012 drama The Master, finally receiving funds from Californian heiress Megan Ellison's Annapurna Pictures. Now that one of the best contemporary US directors is seemingly back in the good books of the money men, however, focus has shifted to the what, the when and the whom.
Gremlins is one of my favourite movies. If me and my lady had to pick a movie to be "our movie", it would be Gremlins. So, you can probably appreciate how precious I am about this series, and how annoyed I am by the inevitable remake/reboot news that has crapped all over my doorstep.
Alexander Payne is back in familiar territory with his latest film, Nebraska. Not only is Payne a Nebraska native but this is the third film in an unofficial road trip trilogy, following About Schmidt (2002) and Sideways (2004).
Good news, Cornetto lovers The World's End launched its first trailer today.

As part of a "rebalancing" with Asia, the United States will enhance military-to-military cooperation with China while also boosting the capabilities of its allies in the region, U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Saturday.
Panetta detailed the new defense strategy to a gathering of Asia's military leaders, saying the majority of U.S. warships would move to Asia.
"By 2020 the Navy will reposture its forces from today's roughly 50-50 split from the Pacific and Atlantic to a 60-40 split in those oceans," Panetta said.
"We will also invest -- invest in cyber, invest in space, invest in unmanned systems, invest in special forces operations," he said. "We will invest in the newest technologies. And we will invest in new technology to mobilize quickly, if necessary," Panetta said.
Along with enhanced military cooperation, Panetta emphasized diplomacy and a "rules-based order" that includes "open and free commerce, and open access by all to their shared domains of sea and air" -- a current point of friction in the South China Sea between China and regional nations. Panetta called for disputes to be resolved without coercion or the use of force.
The defense secretary was kicking off his eight-day trip to Asia, geared toward explaining the U.S. strategy.
The so-called U.S. 'tilt' to Asia includes beefing up the strength of its regional allies such as the Philippines and Vietnam.
"We will play an essential role in promoting strong partnerships that strengthen the capabilities of the Pacific nations to defend and secure themselves," Panetta said.
Asked if helping the militaries of regional allies would raise the potential for conflict, Panetta said, "I don't think we should take the attitude that just because we improve their capabilities that we are asking for more trouble."
Panetta said the United States should "do everything we can" to help those countries defend themselves, but at the same time, the U.S. would "encourage them ... to abide by an international set of rules and standards and order."

3. | 96 | ||
69 for the sexually dyslexic. Jane and Jack are dyslexic, so they have 96 instead of 69.
1. | 96 | ||
69 but backwards instead of giving each other oral pleasure u fart on each others heads. Yo man that bitch 96'ed me so hard she left skid marks.
2. | 96 | ||
Variation of 69;
Lay back-to-back with your heads at opposite ends of the bed and masturbate. "Doing a 96 i have more control than doing 69 :D"
4. | 96 | ||
(n) a position where two people lie alongside each other facing opposite directions with their heads resting comfortably between their partner's butt cheeks After performing 69, many sexual partners like to turn their backs and relax in a comfy 96, but this is ill-advised after eating Mexican food. The results may be grimm.
5. | 96 | ||
when you sleep over a friend's house, and there is only one bed and you don't feel like sleeping on the floor. So you lay facing one direction, next to each other and your friend faces the opposite back to back, your feet next to your friends face, representing the number 96. It is very awkward. Guy 1: So how was your sleepover at Derrick's house last night?
Guy 2: Horrible, he has a wood floor that I couldn't sleep on, so i had to sleep on his bed, with him in the 96 position. Guy 1: damn... |
6. | 96 | ||
The exact opposite of 69 usually takes place after a failed 69 in which the couple turn and face opposite of each thus 96 Guy 1:Damn
Guy 2:Whats wrong? Guy 1:My wife and I did 96 last night Guy 2:Oh that sucks |
7. | 96 | ||
Also known as "The Moroz" It is a sexual act in which the 69 position is reversed. So that the male is on top of the female. This allows deeper insertion of the penis into the oral cavity. Developed by someone known only as bossman. "Dude I totally 96ed that slut last night!!"
"The day you 96 is the day you become a man." |

Saw the guy was listed as tearing things up at a CA HS all-star game.
Only a 2 star 6'5, 295 DT from Pinole Valley, CA.
Any NOCAL posters heard anything about this kid?
Saw the guy was listed as tearing things up at a CA HS all-star game.
Only a 2 star 6'5, 295 DT from Pinole Valley, CA.
Any NOCAL posters heard anything about this kid?
Nope. Probably wont be good enough.
6'5 is almost to big for DT. (My main concern with Jordan Phillips is leverage) Sounds like the kind of kid who needs to move to OT in Juco and come out again in two years. I like these kinds of posts though
6'5" is teetering on the edge of losing leverage. USAO is spot on. However, quickness & first step suddenness might can keep him there, if he is good enough.
Never realized height was detriment at DT. Is it because the OL can get underneath you and makes you easier to block regardless of the speed and strength you possess? Asking in all seriousness to get an idea of the concept involved.
John Henderson (6'7") and Albert Haynesworth (6'6") were a force at Tennessee and have had pretty good careers...
Michael Brockers not too tall. He play ball.
Hopefully Jordan Phillips can figure it out. Otherwise they may want him to move over to the O-line...We had a few other guys a in 2003-2004 that made the switch didn't we?
Taller DT's (6'4" and up) have to be either extraordinarily sound technically (think Jackson Jeffcoat when he was at Plano), or physically dominant. In Jordan Phillips case, it's the latter. His athletic ability and speed shouldn't be possible at his size. Jordan Wade is borderline as far as size goes, but he seems to be balancing technique and ability nicely in bowl practices.
Unless Deonte Reynolds is either elite in technique or raw athletic ability, his size will become a liability against decent interior OL.
Friend of mine is 6'5" and played on Sundays at DT--he even started a Super Bowl. It's not common though.

Dear JJ,
Thanks for your letter. As I'm sure you know, you've never played a series as a true DT in your career. Being a 3-4 DE is arguably close enough, so for the sake of argument, we'll treat you like a DT. Considering that your most noted skill is your extraordinary agility for your size, you fit perfectly into my point. Guys at 6'4" and up need to have a very elite level of athleticism to play interior DL positions. Again, thanks for writing.
Nate Heupel, ESQ
Torrea Peterson still hasn't shown any evidence that he wants to be a starting DT so badly that he's willing to do whatever it takes to win the job. It's disappointing, because he's got the physical gifts to be a damned good DT. Marquis Anderson made the grades, but he also needs to show over the next 8 months that he actually wants to play badly enough that he'll do all the other stuff he has to do to earn it. (i.e., cl****, practice, workouts, film, cl****, etc.)
Phillips is a freak of nature. Put him in a 3-4 at DE, and he's an absolute terror. Wade was blowing up at bowl practices, so I think he'll start really making a push this spring/fall for significant time in the rotation.
Jordan Phillips is the absolute wild card for our defense next year. If he plays well, our D will be solid...if he doesn't, we may lose 5 games!
I hope you are right about Phillips but if he was such a budding star how come it took him a half a season to break into a lineup full of less than talented linemen who were not even at full strength due to McGee on probation.
Technique, ability, and strength also apply to smaller DTs. I get it that it's more of an issue for larger DTs, but I won't get on the "he's too big" merry-go-round. It's unlikely that a high school player will be elite in technique. You can learn that. Thus, the defining factor appears to be the physical attributes.
I'll also submit that if you're barely 6'2" (McFarland, Manning, Walker,...) then you better be 300lbs, and it would be beneficial if you're pretty damn strong. Of course, if you're McGee, Peterson, or Anderson and taller than 6'2", but barely weight 300lbs, then you might not destroy the opponent.
I would like to add Kevin Williams to the tall **** DT party.
i know it was a ways back but To Tall Jones did ok with Dallas
Big Daddy Lip****was about 6'8 or 6'9
It shouldn't matter how short or tall you are, if you can play and have the ability to catch, block, tackle or run and are really athletic then offer them. Wes Welker proved it doesn't matter how tall you are but if you can play.
You're right about Big Daddy. 6'6" 284. He looked as big as Andre the Giant back in the old days but he was a DT.
I thought he was closer to 300 pounds, but even 284 was huge back then. Ernie Ladd I thought was a legitimate 6'9" DT.

The Upper East Side is home to many of the wealthiest New Yorkers, as well as Museum Mile and world class shopping. The Upper East Side is a convenient location for Artistic minds that flock to Museum Mile and the myriad galleries, while athletes hit their stride as they jog along the East River or circle the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir. Shoppers enjoy the famous Madison Avenue which is home to many couture and designer shops, and even if you can't afford to buy anything, the window shopping is extraordinary. Park Avenue is lined with gorgeous pre-war apartment buildings and the gardening down the median make it a lovely place to stroll. The Upper East Side is also home to many of Manhattan's Luxury Hotels.
The residents are polite and cultured, but down-to-earth and welcoming, too. And though big-name businesses abound abound between 59th and 96th Streets, residents will tell you that the best neighborhood spots are still the independent nooks with genial owners, who make customers feel at home.
It feels very personal, very family-oriented. It's a bit more of classic New York. I happen to like the old historic mansions along beautiful tree lined streets, town houses, post offices and museums. You feel like you're in a mini Europe over here."
