The handicap of being a short-armed center would show up most egregiously at the Thursday night O-line dinners at The Precinct. Linderbaum's puny appendages would have trouble reaching for the seafood tower, with long-armed tackles out-grabbing him. In fact there's a rumor that the reason poor stubby-armed Billy Price busted was because he just wasted away from lack of nourishment while watching Fred and Isaiah snag all the crab legs.
Now where short arms come in handy is when it's time to pick up the bill.
That's the same thing I was thinking.
Having an inch shorter arms than most centers isn't going to hurt too much when he's blocking d-linemen almost instantly and they won't have room to speed rush around him.
