Gorum the Old Playmaker

Hey my son is only 5'8, 155lbs and starts on both offensive and defensive lines.

Of course he plays on an 11U youth football team, so maybe you have a point.

For being 5'8" only 140 lbs is wild. Especially for a football player

But he's a flag football player. Do you even want size as a flag football player

Well, I’d love to see him defend a 6’4” we in the end zone.

As I said, length would help. But weight doesn't really, that much

Does he get to sub out?

I agree with him. Hard to pull the flags off someone 6 inches off the ground.

Height would still be an asset as long as you use the height well. Weight would

True for receivers and corners.

So we need a team of really fast tiny people?

It’s like Nintendo ice hockey. You need 4 fats and a skinny

would definitely be frustrating to think you are ont he top of your sport and

I'd put money on the best flag football team beating NFL guys at flag football.

Aug 21, 10:36am

I doubt that. NFL and college teams basically play flag football in practice

Without the flags or different set of rules.

Aug 21, 11:06am

The rules aren’t that different for the skill positions

Littlerich

Aug 21, 11:37am

I would gladly take your money

It's a different sport without the contact

The best DBs and WRs could out DB and WR any flag football receiver.

Baron

Aug 21, 11:13am

I don't think that's true. They are still abnormally large, which may not favor

Aug 21, 11:16am

Agree to disagree. I think that is a crazy take.

Baron

Aug 21, 11:18am

Many of the best WR and CBs aren’t abnormally large.

Littlerich

Aug 21, 11:36am

and I think some are better in NFL than they'd be in flag.

Belboz

Is flag football to football what 3x3 is to basketball?

Aug 21, 10:37am

I agree however that smaller, quicker, faster players would have an advantage.

Even the optimal QB would be different.

Aug 21, 11:07am

NFL players will be in training camp, so they won't be at the Olympics

Britain Covey was made for this

DiamondMo

Aug 21, 11:02am

He kind of was. I'd take him at QB.

Aug 21, 11:07am

If the QB is allowed to run, for sure
