Why do fat men make good back-players?

[QuikSilver]

I knew a "big" player that played front. After I tagged him, and he walked off, I used him as a shield to get to a bunker I've been wanting to the whole game.

But just because you're fat doesn't mean you are in anyway less of a player, obviously. Look at Gary Noblett, on AfterShock for years...

And not to mention all those great bounces you may get!

Awwwww bless........ Rock bands have drummers, Paintball teams have back players......

fat men dont make better back players . they simply in general make crappy front players so they are put on the back .

Imagine that hitting a tea-bag!

Did it on a rainy day, and ended up on the other side. True story.

Well i can think of two things happening :

1. The tea-bag is nailed/glued/cemeted into the ground, and you fly backwards halfway down the field.

2. The tea-bag moves down the field somehow eliminating every player on the opposition as it does so.

Both very funny

I suppose that in the aspect of not running fast therein lies the key. I'm a slim guy, but because of the fact that I was using a Shocker on a 114 on gun with an 8 pack, I wasn't all that geared up to run myself. The abscence of speed to rely on makes you focus on the other aspects of the game much more, and that's what makes a back become a good back. When I picked up a Shocker for the first time, it was indeed heavy, but I learned to do other things with it that I wasn't doing as well when I had a Mag. I learned to listen and watch where everyone on the field was and I could switch from shooting at one to shooting at any other one at an instant without even hesitating. I spent a lot of time yelling out where they were and who could be moved on. In just a couple of days of borrowing that gun from a friend of mine, I decided that was what I wanted to do. I chose it. Being fat just chooses it for other backs.

Buddah : Ankle is better. I'm out of the boot, finally, and it's healing up. I'm hoping to go play soon.

And, killing bunkers... I think that the big guys don't play front bunkers becasue they hit it, and the bunker moves. See? This is why I like TREES! No matter HOW big you are, TREES DON'T MOVE!

Thats it! Us fat men would be humiliated if we played front with the exception of MarkehB.

Hey what's wrong with being 30 something? I can run with the best of them! Well when the weather is right and the wind is behind my back! Not fat but working on that!
