Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 1902473, member: 289"] Our 10 O-linemen on the two deep average 313 pounds per man, which is amazing to this old fan but is about average these days. the eight guys in the four D-line spots average 266 which was pretty big back in the day but that's a 47 pound per man difference. Defensive players have to be quicker because they have to react to the play and cover more territory but that is a big gap. the linebackers average 217 with Zaire at 230 the only one even at 220. That's small. And yet we don't seem to be all that fast, either. It recalls Duffy Daugherty's description on his scouting report as a player: "He may be small but he sure is slow." [/QUOTE]
