I saw Curtis Taylor next to Keaton Kristick and it seemed he was 2 inches taller then Kristick who is 6-3 supposedly. Either Kristick shrank or we have a 6-5 safety. Also it seems to me that VD and Patrick Willis weigh a lot less then their listed weights. I have seen weights of 233 to 245 for Anthony Dixon and he seems to be nearer to the 245 range. What irks me is that some who should know, infer he is near the 245 lb
area. The only guy who looks pudgy is Aubrayo or that is he did last year. He looks trimmer this year.

Taylor is a legit 6'2 or 6'3, I've seen it with my own eyes at training camp autograph session.

Seriously. I was at training camp and I couldn't believe how big Manny looked. It is no wonder that that guy can shutdown a hole side of the field.

This isn't meant to be an insult. But many African-American athletes are the result of the breeding practices of slave owners in this country's earlier history. It was normal for slave owners to "breed" the strongest of slaves with one another in order to create "super slaves". I doubt those wealthy, white racists realized they were building the foundation for a generation that would make millions of dollars annually playing professional sports... In a sense, I suppose it is natural karma or justice, at least for some.

The old rule of thumb is add 2 inches and 20 pounds to the person's actual size and put that in the program, that is what they used to do in High School and College.

I know....I was just pointing out that these two guys are even more athletic and bigger than the other already athletic football players.
as far as natural karma or anything, you forget who are the ones making the most money off these players.
anyway that is for a different thread...
back on topic.....when standing next to each other Shaun Hill looked taller than Alex...even though Shaun was listed as 6'3" while Alex is 6'4"......also I remember Jeff Garcia being listed as 6'1"...lol.
another thing, when you see Dixon out there, he does not look 6'1" but I sure it has to do with how his body is built....when you see him next to his big little brother, then you can tell.

He's merely quoting historical fact. Remember that back then, they weren't even considered 'people' (as insensitive as it may sound). Most slave owners in the 1800's preferred their slaves (workers) who were strong and good endurance to work in the fields. That's what he's referring to...
