By the way, Pugh played at over 300 and I think one year he may have actually played (guard) at 310 or 311, so 280 is a very large difference (even percentage-wise). Bob

I think Schwartz explained that most guys have a maxed-out weight in terms of muscle.  After that, it's just adding body fat.  The extra body weight gives them mass, but it comes at the cost of speed.

football is a team game

when one group like the D does well, others on offense pick up their game

if a QB is constantly creating 3 and outs it kills the whole mood of the team

the Giants towed the line in SFO and though they lost..... the season and team effort turned around

is 10-6 still possible?

Right. That's the dilemma if asking a G to play T or vice versa.

At tackle you need quickness/athleticism, while at guard you need power.

The vast majority of players having one, which almost always cancels out the other.

OL's like Eagles' Kelce are rare. He can survive the Dexters AND block straight ahead AND pull (all three).

IMO there's a slight chance John Michael Schmitz might be that type of player, although IMO they'll let him deal with one or two things at a time (the Dexters and a few trap blocks, maybe) and not ask him to pull or do anything requiring athleticism until next spring, when they'll start poking around that attic, talking to our DL guys about his strengths/weaknesses, etc., and see what they learn.
