The average D-1 offensive lineman (298 pounds) outweighs the average defensive tackle by six pounds and the average defensive end by 45 pounds. And on a given play, the offensive linemen outnumber the defensive linemen 5-4 or 5-3. You'd think coaches would catch on these numbers by bulking up their defensive linemen and going back to the 5-2 or 5-3 defense, but there's much more to line play than heft versus heft.Â
Speaking of heft, Harrison is now at 293. The other players post their new numbers next week, i think.
