[coy935]

[LunaXAssassin]

and oh yeah.............its all about the d line!go saints

[LunaXAssassin]

i am 220 pounds 5'8 and i all i do to get at the quaterback is stay low and keep driving my feet and i never use the rip spin or any of that stuff all i do is bull rush.and 7 out 10 times i get the sac.

[313yomama1]

Im a defensive tackle 126 pounds 5'8 nd i get pass the O line like nothing its all bout ur foot position u always have to be lower than the O line give him one or two hard pushes nd sack the QB or tackle the RB. never show that ur weak be cuz they use that against u nd alway play ur hardest.

[Hunterhxc]

who gives a shit about your stats in the comments? let's see you put up some game play

[Mazz1420]

D Line doesn't always go through the line, thats asking for the RB to run past them. We usually, get a yard or 2, and take em at the line, leave that fancy shit for the LB's.

[Mr5um41]

@jjpierren To bad it's sort of impossible to play all of those possitions at the same time, fucking idiot. I don't care how many positions you can play well, unless you can play one great shut the fuck up and stop trying to brag

[dontuenvyme]

@jjpierren wow if you are a saftey, CB, and DE you must be one terrible ass defensive lineman

[chucknpuff]

[Kalzort]

we have small tomedium sized guys on our team. they stay low eneough to make a pile out of the offensive line to stop runs, and our pass rush is great because the o-line doesnt anticipate how fast they are.

[CommunistPanda75]

I'm in 8th

Im 5'10, 155 lbs.

i played DE

it is truely an awesome position to play.

[TacticalShepherd]

I'm going into 9th I am 6'1, 250 lbs. I play d-tackle as a freshman.

[whdunkley]

6'3" 290 pounds and im a freshman i stay sacking the quarter back

[jtbrister]

how old are u

[NavxEagles67DTackle]

well im in the 7th grade 5'5" 170 lbs and i play rep for my city burlington and i play DT lol i weigh more than two of the eight graders but then again im playing defensive tackle not defensive end =P

[pyroscoutguy42]

haha i'm in the eighth grade... i'm 6'3'' and 220lbs, and I play DT AND D-end. I'm bigger than anyone on my team. I'm bigger than anyone in my school.

[Y2Jjesse1229]

well no offense but your school must have tiny people, at my school im one of the biggest, while im only 5'10" im about 300lbs. but i play football and wrestle so im pretty athletic

[pyroscoutguy42]

lol ur not offending me, and there is one kid who is heavier, and i have no idea how much he weighs... I am gaining weight though, and im just going into high school, we didn't have a weight room at our middle school so i do all of my lifting at home

[MLBAllStar518]

i play d tackle and i suck at my position i just started this year and im a big guy like 220 so whats the best stance for me so i can shoot off quickly

[jrtec13]

I hate to say this, but 220 isn't big for a d tackle. I play D tackle and im 6'4 335.

[Ivann730]

Depends where he plays... if it's junior high or outside the USA on a junior team, 220 is fine, all our DT's on my team (I'm on a danish u19 team) are around 200-230.

But I'd say that a 4 point stance is quicker but a 3 point hits harder - at least that's my experience

[jtbrister]

i like 4-point stance cause when im comfortable with they guy(s) blocking me, usually i can do what i want

[youarealooser]

yea and 4-points generally help you stay low, but i use a 3-point cuz i play o-line too and that way i can get really good at a 3 instead of being average at both

[Bestich219]

true 220 is tiny im 6'2 280 and still going

oh and DT is the best position you can play.

every play there contact and you get to lay people out.

Love it

[jrtec13]

Yea, I cannot wait for this year to get started, im graduating form high school this year and going to play football at the local junior college, hopefuly I can transfer to a 4 year.

[Bestich219]

Same here I have one more season. And hopefully I get picked up by a few good D1 or D2 colleges. I don't care where I go i just want to play football.
