These days 6'7 could play any position (C would be pushing it on a full-time basis) depending on skills but would be small for C/PF generally and would normally be a swingman (SG/SF).

Cheers bloke. Thought you’d be our go-to guy on this stuff.

Don’t forget I still kid myself that at just under 5’7” (and just under 57yo) the Clippers *really* need to think about starting me at the 1.

Will have to catch up later but good to see this thread.

First experience of American football was Upper Heyford USAF v Mildenhall USAF at Pontypridd rugby late70s, early 80s when they were on tour!
Expected about 60 minues of play as described, did not understand the rules or length of time game would take so along with most spectators we gave up and left after about 2.5 hours with game still unfinished.
Fortunately C4 with Nicky Horne came to the rescue later in the 80s with explanations of plays and been a fan ever since.
Have still to watch the Draft programmes taped from Sky this week.

Welcome Dai. Amazing even you cite a Suffolk USAF base as your at in to the sport.

The link HF posted has my quote of the week.

Herbert has accuracy issues

Still, if it doesn’t work out at least. The Bolts have Tyrod Taylor...

Lol Grep, at 6'1 the only position I could play in the NBA is PG and would still be undersized in many matchups! Could have been a good defensive player on the perimeter and the post if I was taller, lol.

:)

Last word from me for a while on the Bolts' woes - and it's something I got from ATN a couple of months back:

There is no problem in football where the solution is Tyrod Taylor.

57.5 Degrees of Pain
Tyrod Taylor is no Derek Pringle.

I used to commute through Mildenhall and pick up USA Today for the sport. In the days when teletext was at the cutting edge of IT.
