    You guys do realize that lineman "weights" are understated, don't you? All this "no one over 300 lbs" talk is funny. They are ALL wirgh well over 300 lbs. If they are listed at 315 you can bet they weigh significantly closer to 400 than 300. Someone listed at 300 probably is 340 minimum. I am sure that there are a number of 400 lb lineman in the NFL true weight. I went to school with a guy who played OL in the NFL. He was listed at like 302. He said his real weight was close to 370. And he was not as big as a lot of these guys. I guess if it is consistently low for the entire NFL than it does not matter, but they are all MUCH heavier than listed on their profiles. FWIW, Madden talks about this from time to time. Lineman are sensitive about their weight so they do not list what they really are, but list a "comparative" number for each player. I even bet that Jerome Bettis weighed close to 300 lbs this year as well.
