I'm of the opinion that the bigger the Olineman, the better the results. I envy the Dallas O Line of last year and the Pitt OLine... the guys are huge.

There was a while a few years back when teams were really focused on athletic OTs. However, I feel that many of the 'Athletic' OTs have busted... OgB being our attempt at an 'Athletic' OT.

What do you guys think?



I wonder if Big Whit was considered 'Athletic' when he came out, or just a big OT.

I didn't get to see last weekends game but watched the Gio highlights, it looks like Westerman and the new guy are a bit bigger.. is this true?

I feel our line is generally smaller than others in the league... is this true?


I want Big and Nasty, but feel our oline is 'athletic' and 'swift' which isn't equating to success.

You want Nasty Nate Livings?  Is that you Piano Man?

Seriously though, if I was building a line, I would want big with an attitude of a grizzly bear if I'm stocking an oline.  You do need some athleticism to be able to handle the speed edge rushers in today's game, but give me a Butterbean with the footwork of Sugar Ray Leonard at OT....and a buncha bar room brawlers in the middle.
