But they're not all that small - are they? They seem more soft than small. :-) [Reply]

No they're small, if you see them without pads on they're all tall and thin. I'm pretty sure they're all listed as way heavier than they really are. For example I'd be stunned if Eric Fisher weighs more than 280 and Mitch Morse is probably 265lbs. Most of their lineman are like that, they're a tall line but thin and athletic. [Reply]

Nagy running more spread concepts helps a lot. [Reply]
Players lack discipline and motivation, Sutton seems to lack the ability to create and teach any system other than his main one. He has run several defenders into the ground because we didn't rotate. Sutton is JAG, time to move on. [Reply]

They should try big and athletic, circa 2004. Small, gay, and weak, even if fast, isn't working. [Reply]

I think you've lost your fucking mind if you believe Morse is at 265. [Reply]
As of 2014 there were only 29 nfl linemen that weighed less than 300lbs. That post is stupid. I weigh a very healthy 200 lbs and have met Eric Fisher in person. He is a monster of a human being. [Reply]

We still need a change in OL coaching and philosophy. We need some big boys with some power, not these weak ass white boys. [Reply]
