what's interesting to me is the height of interior OL!!!

June 20, 2017 06:51AM
Having OL that are VERY tall when they stand up would block a QB's sight lines...and thus be not preferable. imo
As a former QB, having a tall OGs/OC...I would think a bit blinding for the QB...I sure didn't like it when I played. imo

I would think that since low-man wins the leverage game...and a QB likes to have a clear view for passing lanes...
that the clear evolution / natural selection of the coaches choice for interior OL traits would be short, athletic and powerful.

So, I guess the only redeeming quality for tall OL is that is usually comes with LONG arms...
and therefore, arm length is more important and valued to OL coaches than I would ever have thot.
Kinda interesting...I sure would like to know the reasoning for some of the thought process and how the coaches see things.
