How is there weight limits in the military yet they have football teams with 300 lb+ linemen?

How is there weight limits in the military yet they have football teams with 300 lb+ linemen? Tell me that? They get a free pass from weight resrictions or what?How is there weight limits in the military yet they have football teams with 300 lb+ linemen?you must be speaking of the service academies the AF Falcons, Army Black Knights and Navy Midshipmen. well truth is these schools don't have 300 lb linemen most of their linemen are around 250-260 they still have to make weight for their military needs this is one of the reasons why these schools don't really have very competitive football programs (as compared to the other NCAA powerhouses) any longer. Navy won the NC in 1929 Army won back to back in '44 and '45 I think, but with the weight limit the schools just can't compete on a national title level any longer, not to mention that in today's world of football most of the top players want a chance at an NFL career. Since graduates of these schools must serve 5 years of active military service most guys with NFL potential skip over these schools. However that is not to say they don't have a chance as Roger Staubach won the Heisman at Navy and went on to a hall of fame career with the Cowboys. More recently another former Cowboy Chad Hennings was a graduate of Air Force. But these are pretty rare circumstances.How is there weight limits in the military yet they have football teams with 300 lb+ linemen?
I think you are refering to the Military Academies and their football programs. Although it is true that the Military has weight limits, there are exceptions regarding the Academies especially where football is concerned. The primary focus of the Academies is to prepare our young men and women for a future in the military; however, football has become a very important part of the Academies in regard to recruitment and enjoyment for the students. This being said, exceptions are made. The football programs need the larger players in order to compete.How is there weight limits in the military yet they have football teams with 300 lb+ linemen?First of all the military and football are not related but when you're talking football linemen you want "unstoppable forces" (defensive linemen) and "immovable objects" (offensive linemen). If are and "immovable object" in the military you will soon be a dead immovable object. 'nuff said



Richard! you were kind enough to send me an email and tell me I'm a dumb@ss!!



Maybe you should learn how to word a question! Now who's the dumb@ss? Good luck with that education I hope you're working on!!
The people who have answered you obviously don't get you question .

I do .

You are talking about the military football teams ( Army , Navy , etc. ) .

Unfortunately I don't know the answer and I don't want to just take a guess but it's better than ripping on you for your question .How is there weight limits in the military yet they have football teams with 300 lb+ linemen?OK wow...



Thier "teams" are college teams. They are in the acadamy, on their way to becoming military officers, they are not current active duty military, they could leave school at any time and be a civilian. Its a whole different ball game.How is there weight limits in the military yet they have football teams with 300 lb+ linemen?
Most NFL linemen couldn't get into the military vehicles.

Not to mention overloading transport aircraft like helicopters.

Try shoving a 300lb man through a tank turret.

Just watch Tony Saragusa on Man caves. He couldn't get into a Humvee.
Because shocking as this might be to some people, the military and football are unrelated.



EDIT: Ok, you're talking about service academies. Because those academies want to compete and will relax certain restrictions for athletes.

football has nuthin to do with how big the men are....

military... maybe they have 300 lb ppl who can carry the weight...

like football they can carry the weight and run pretty fast sometimes

????? i dont know...
Well that is easy mainly because O-fensive lineman cant be thrown down. U wouldnt want to be a quarterback with 100 lb lineman you wont have enough time to get rid of the ball.

In the NFL the bigger the better in the

military the bigger the more easier it is to get shot.
You're trying to compare apples to oranges.



NFL lineman aren't training to defend our country.
i am probably the only person who got this question..your talkin about the college teams but i still have no idea how they get away with it
The NFL is not a branch of the military. I really don't understand this question.
basically its becau-ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD
