About This Quote

The phrase 'sizing up' means a person is making a decision about a possible enemy. There are a variety of situations where you might be faced with a situation where you have to make a decision about the enemy. While the process of sizing up is often instinctive, it is not always accurate. In this context, the phrase is used to indicate that the enemy is choosing something they may do, rather than acting at random.
