Default What?

Hoop27,

What is the weight on your TTCs that you are using?

I ask this quesh., because I am not sure how successful one would be using TTCs on offensive lineman (or linebackers for that matter) in the weighted game. Whether multi-stop or one stop, in the weighted game, a premium is placed on the weight of your linemen. Forget anything you have heard about weight does not matter. In the weighted game as a whole, it's probably best not to focus on weight in every position, but for line play, it is extremely imperative. The heavier the weight underneath the base does not always translate into a better athlete, but most od the strongest players on the filed in the weighted game are offensive and defensive lineman. As with most positions, you want that right mix of weight, strength and speed.

Hopefully, you will get a chance to play againts one of the weight teams from our area of the states. Our rookie base lineman will destroy just about any weighted ttc base with a dial. However, I recently have been experimenting with creating weighted ttc bases without a dial. These have been a bit more challenging, but to my surprise, they have shown quite a bit of promise.

In the weighted game, weight matters --- just not in every position.
