Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 1097854, member: 289"] Regarding the size of linemen, I think there's a law of diminishing returns. I think the difference between a 275 pound lineman, (which used to be thought of as big), and a 250 pounder is less than the difference between a 250 pounder and a 225 pounder. I think the difference between 300 and 275 is less than that and that a 325 pounder is probably just an out of shape 300 pounder. There's also the issue of height and body type. A 6-0, 275 guy isn't necessarily going to be better at 300 and a 6-5 guy can probably carry 300 easily. The important thing is to be at the weight YOU need to be at so you can do what you need to do.
