I wouldnt stick to that whole "Force=Mass*Acceleration" arguement you got there. In 2002, a youngster by the name of Lydell Ross was playing for the Buckeyes and was highly reguarded for his speed. Later on, Ross decides he needs to put on more weight to become more like Eddie George. So that means he has the acceleration already (speed), and is now combining it with mass (more weight), but the end result was anything but "force". His career took a turn for the worst with nagging injuries and bad play when he had his chances.
{Off topic going forward but deserves a response}
Apples to oranges says me.
Bulking up and maintaining speed is not an easy task. Lydell Ross wasn't successful in that task. Chris Wells is already there so he gets to bypass that task.
Lydell Ross. There's a real good barometer for comparison. Not.
First of all, Ross was and is a Buckeye and I'm sure he did the best that he could with his college career but come on now. Undoubtedly, Ross has to be considered the most lackluster of all RB's to ever hold the starting position for our Buckeyes. I'm mean let's be honest (a stretch for some I know). Blame it all on injuries if you want but Lydell Ross just wasn't that good.
He wanted to be good.
I wanted him to be good. But what happened? How'd it all turn out? It turned out the opposite of what
we all wanted.
Lydell Ross wasn't very successful as a RB
before he bulked up. That is the reason he decided to try to bulk up.
After he put on the weight, I'm not so sure his speed and acceleration stayed the same as it was before as your above argument would suggest. Here's a desription of a typical run by Ross
before and after he put on weight: Ross takes the handoff and runs directly into the pile going down on first contact for a 1 or 2 yrd gain. I'm sure everyone remembers those glory years.
Ross put on some weight. Still he wasn't as big as Chris Wells is right now. Chris Wells already has the speed/size combo. Lydell Ross never possessed a legitimate speed/size combination. First he had the speed. Then, he gave up some speed for more size. Chris Wells right now is bigger and faster than Lydell Ross was after Ross bulked up. Sorry AirforceBuck but I don't buy your argument. Don't take it personally my fellow Buckeye.
{Now in an effort to stay on target for the thread we are actually in right now, the following.}
NIU this. NIU that. Garrett Wolfe yak yak. G-force this. Blah blah blah. MAC vs. Big Ten yakity yak. September 2nd hoo haa! The Buckeyes yakity will yakity win yakity easily yak yak.
