You got something against short people*

hey, I'm only 73.5 inches

 

[BertleTheTurtle]

I would imagine the weight difference would be pretty significant as well. We are all around bigger on the DL.

 

[coach66]

In the spirit of fairness I think they have a pretty quick DL and that has

been key to their success. Gross amazes me.

Mullen recruits by the numbers. That's how he finds the "diamonds in the rough".

They are. Just interesting to see the two different schools of thought with regards to DL. We want big guys with long arms to get off blocks, they look for smaller, quicker guys that can get vertical and penetrate. Be interesting to see which plays out better at the end of the year.

So its size vs ability to penetrate effectively? Ahh, the age old debate.

Size matters*

When OM wants to go big, they will put Brown 280 and Nkemdiche 290 at DE, and Hamilton 315 and Hooks 318 ( Bennett 293 or Moore 325 ) at DT . They definitely emphasize quickness over pure size on their DL but can get big if needed.

It's the difference between BCS and FBS teams.
