IT STARTS IN THE MIDDLE OF EVERY DEFENSE...............All Shapes and Sizes.... THE BIG BOYZ HAVE ARRIVED.

Every GM, Personnel Director , Head Coach , Scouting Department starts off with the philosophy of we have to build from the inside out. Which to the the average football fan means u need the big boys up front to start to dominate at all the other positions. There is a reason so many LINEBACKERS look like they drink from the fountain of youth. This is a direct correlation to the big bodies that play in front of them. If the guy is doing his job in front of you, then you are free to move around the cabin right (well the field sorry SOUTHWEST AIRLINES YOUR THE BEST THOUGH) to make play after play. Though always seen but never heard defenses prepare to block them first to have any shot in moving the ball successfully. So let's take a look at the BLUEDUDE's 2010 TOP 10 LARGE ONES upfront:

1. HALOTI NGATA BMORE: A massive human being from the city of Eugene by way of the "QUACK ATTACK". A one man run stopper, a powerful " i am coming straight up the middle" pass rusher, and makes a number of plays down field for a man of his size. Fans wonder how the great Ray Lewis is still very effective on the field and in the middle for the Ravens well it's simple. About 700 lbs or so of ASS starting with Ngata that's how you stay playing middle linebacker forever. Built for either 4-3 or 3-4 defense

2. KEVIN WILLIAMS TWIN CITIES: 1/2 of the William's Buffet and neither part is really better than the other except KEV has more range as a pass rusher and BOTH ARE excellent run stoppers. He is the main reason why the VIKES get so many sacks on the outside because you can't run in the middle on the William's boys. Maybe starting to lose a half a step or so but very effective still in all aspects of an NFL Defensive Lineman. Versatile enough to go 3-4 or 4-3

3. JAY RATLIFF DOLLAS,TEXAS: The man from THE PLAINS is a non-stop motor and teamed up with fellow tackle spears and DE Ware, an unstoppable force in the run and and in the passing game.Very strong at the point of attack and a student of the game. The COWBOYS defense wouldn't be where it is without RATLIFF. A definite 4-3 guy.

4. DARNELL DOCKETT CACTUS LEAGUE: Just awarded nice size and deserving contract from cardinals. But the let LB Dansby go and Safety Rolle Hmmmmmmmmmmm Well ok can't pay them all but can't lose them all neither. Almost unblockable at times. Singlehandeky kept the Cards in the hunt in the SUPERBOWL vs STEELERS with his dominant defensive line play. More comfortable in 4-3 than a 3-4. Very Good Pass rusher as well.

5. CASEY "HUMPTY DUMPTY HEAD" HAMPTON IRON CITY: Could you imagine it was Casey and Shaun Rogers playing side by side at UT Austin for HOOKE' HORNS NATION. A perfect fit for what the steelers do with their linebackers and secondary in Coach LeBeau Zone blitz scheme. A definite 3-4 who can still dominate at the point of attack .

6. KRIS JENKINS JET JETS: Very violent -type DT with a lot of strength at the point of attack.A typical 3-4 guy who demands double teams routinely and if you leave him singled out KJ will be a disruption throughout. LB's David Harris and Bart Scoot are able to make plays because of KJ. Jets "D" still a factor with Jenks out last year because of teammate DE Shaun Ellis.

7. ALBERT HAYNESWORTH HAIL TO THE REDSKINS: Man #1 DT Near OPRYLAND and away from it has struggled a lot. The man is so strong an powerful but has a little bit of a problem with taking instructions. He is a prime example of taking a lot of money and deservedly so , but like the always say ," SOMETIMES THE GRASS IS GREEN ON THE OTHER SIDE" . A VERY Dominant 4-3 and if you put him a 3-4 defense he will not PRACTICE OR PASS CONDITIONING TESTS.

A list of very strong and powerful football players. These guys make it easy for linebackers, defensive ends, and box safeties to being open to make the play instead of shedding a would-be blocker. In my late 30's, I, the BLUEDUDE, COULD PLAY AT A HIGH LEVEL LINEBACKER behind most of these BOYZ. SO THERE IS A FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH and it is behind their behinds.
