Where would these all time Bama greats fit into a Nick Saban defense?  Do you think they would be able to play linebacker or would they be used somewhere else?

I pray that MFBATR gets to square up on the Honey T-Bagger in the open field like that

Good question.  My guess would be that he would use them a lot like Courtney Upshaw.

They would make All-American and go to the NFL after their junior year.

In no way am I saying they were not good enough to play with this defense, I just am not sure they were the size to play linebacker

I just looked their size and weight when they played in the NFL. I'm sure they were a little smaller in college.

Thomas 6'-3" 255 lbs

Bennett  6'-2 237 lbs

Pretty good size and excellant speed.

At the time they played they were "big" for their size.  Also, since then weight training has improved drastically.  I am sure they would meet the standards today if they were playing in this era.  What is JH size?

I think by the end of his career, "Biscuit" was several biscuits over 237.

Their sizes are surprising. For some reason, I always thought Biscuit was bigger than 237.

I looked the information on Bennett up at the link below.

That is why I posed the question, they both looked quite small compared to Dont'a and Rolondo.  They had awesome speed but I just thought it would be interesting to get peoples thoughts.

Thanks, I missed using it but I had a mission.  It won't change again, I have used that avatar since 2006.  With regard to size, I doubt the sizes listed for both DT and Biscuit were correct because they tended to over inflate player size then.
