OK, everyone has had it out on the topic of the OL's weight, and tangentially, McCaffrey's size.Â
What about the DL having nobody north of 280 likely to play much? I still remain skeptical that a defense can effectively stop the run in a 3-4 scheme, without a 300+ pound "fire hydrant" in the middle. Phillips has that wrestling background which will certainly make up for some lack of ballast, but it still has to be a concern, doesn't it? I guess most people feel this way, hence the Fanaika as possible NT speculation.
