TALKING 4.0 OR MORE WEIGHT ONLY?

[Terry Popham]

I personally like 4.0 plus, actually with 4.5 as the top weight allowed. I only allow 9 figures, the five OL & four DL to use that weight. Linebackers (3 or four, but if you use four you surrender one of your 4.5's for that play and each successive play in which you use 4), Tight Ends (1), Fullbacks (1) are at 3.5. All others are at 3.2. Offense is allowed five 4.5's and two 3.5's at any one time, defense is allowed four 4.5's and three 3.5's OR three 4.5's and four 3.5's at any time. Either can use any number of 3.2's at their own discretion, of course as long as there are only eleven total on the field.

While many figures will weigh less than 3.2 without added weight, the added weight greatly improves performance IMHO. As a general rule a fast base will be even faster and a strong base will be even stronger. A crappy base may still be crappy, but it will be stronger and perform at a higher level than it would unweighted.

I've been playing for over 45 years and weight-added always adds strength, with the exception of a base which has been boiled, which actually is a weight added base anyway. Some boiled bases won't take added weight and improve. The prongs have become too flexible and will fail under the load.

In my limited time with them, the figures just look better. Linemen are supposed to be bigger and stronger, so the bigger figures give a more realistic appearance.

Coaches,


When building a team 4.0 or larger, what is your first approach. What figures do you like to start the process.

1) offensive line or defensive line.

***What defensive player in your opinion is best at getting to te qb as far as strength and speed It is said if you do not get to the qb within 3 seconds, your dead. So what are some of the heavier figures in your estimation that can get there.


Also, are your linebackers more faster than strong, or are they stronger than fast. Defense will win the games. How would you direct l a coach in begining his teams creation. My favorite figures are the FF.net squatters. I love those figures because they are low to the ground and durable like dump trucks

WHAT FIG'S DO YOU FAVOR


THANX
