How much difference does the weight room make?

Just look at the current Belfry line and how good they are. Only Ryan Blackburn (6'3 300) would be considered your prototypical linemen. Chancey Cisco and Randy Webb are both undersized, Casey Whetstone has the height but only goes about 220 or 230. These guys dominate with their footwork, agility, and ability to understand exactly which hole needs to be open and what position they have to be in to open it.

Very well said. Coach Haywood is a great coach and fun to compete against. He is a class act and he is OLD SCHOOL. I guarantee he drills and drills and drills to get the kids to that discipline, they tackle and block also. You don't have to be strong to do the fundamentals, you have to practice. The new wave coaching is the bunch that is caught up in lifting weights.
