    I have no way of knowing. I'm just going by the Browns official roster. Sometimes linemen as they get older take off weight to maintain quickness. Raji weighs less now than when the Packers drafted him.

    LT's need the anchor against the bull rush. I would doubt if there is a LT in the NFL who weighs under 320 and that would likely be a stretch. DL can get away with being a bit leaner and use more quickness. Its just really tough for a LT to be light. If you are a drive blocking guard you can weigh 295. The lateral movement and then anchor isn't necessary for guards. Tackles...especially Left tackles are best off being massive. Its the reason I wanted Sherrod to find his footwork so badly. He had the body for it. Even Bacteria is slightly undersized for the position.
    I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
