If it was a rugby player, since England don't tend to have a lot of linebackers, he'd be a lot fitter than the hard hitting line backer from the NFL.Originally Posted by Busyman
Fact.

Ehhh that depends on whether he's a fat-fuck linebacker or a super fast one like Simeon Rice from Tampa Bay.Originally Posted by manker
NFL is about speed AND size.
The Redskins happen to have a free safety named Sean Taylor (the spitter) who is 250+ lbs.
I think what you are referring to when you say fit is endurance.
In the NFL you have to basically sprint your hardest for that play.

Tho' fitness isn't necessary.Originally Posted by Busyman
You put any linebacker in a game of rugby at, say, flanker, and he would be absolutely fecked after about fifteen minutes. They're not used to constant running and simply haven't been trained to the level of fitness needed to play rugby.
Put any top level flanker as linebacker in a game of American football and he would hardly break sweat.
That is undisputable.

That top level flanker will probably get ran over though.

Oh yeah
Don't reckon the flanker would get run over - his mobility and tackling skills would pwn a fat bloke. Google a pic of Lawrence Dallaglio, he's a right big, fit horrible bar-steward of a back row forward.
He is also a git but you did ask specifically for an English linebacker. The Welsh back row would, obviously, steamroll the whole NFL - with or without English rugby players in their ranks
All our linebackers aren't fat fucks though. Some of them like the center have to be big fat fucks.Originally Posted by manker
An example would be the defensive line. They have to be mobile and fast 'cause they're going after the QB. The offensive line need not be fast at all. They don't have to run after anyone; just protect the QB.
This is partly why interception are very dangerous. Offense has to suddenly become defense and they are out of their roles, so to speak.
