back on topic...Baltimore is in trouble with Flacco as well. A PFT article explains it well, they chose not to negotiate with him last year and now he's won an SB MVP and is a UFA. $20million/year, baby!

Ravens average team weight = 249.8
49ers average team weight = 244.6

There you go with facts when someone knows something to be true when they see it.

My point was that team weight doesn't mean that much wrt "physical" vs "finesse".

You are wrong, if they re-signed Gilbert Brown and Grady Jackson to replace Wilson and Neal, and Jeremiah Trotter and Levon Kirkland to replace Hawk and Jones/Bishop, they would then be positioned to compete with the BIG BOYS. Replace Matthews with Sean Merriman and you have the number 1 defense in the NFL.

Did you misunderstand him or are you employing that sarcasm stuff?

I wonder if Jamarcus Russell can play D? He been talking of making a comeback, and he's over 300lbs!

This is a funny article. So it is talking about prototypical players and how the Packers are undersized.

Here is the list of my cuts for non-prototypical bodies:
Drew Brees, Russell Wilson, Wes Welker, Ray Rice, DeSean Jackson, Antoine Winfield (Grabby Smurfs twin borther), Steve Smith, Maurice Jones-Drew, Darren Sproles

There are exceptions.

The apologist/denial for the Packers by this board is laughable.

Mcginn has access to more stuff than any rat that pretends to know football.

Imbiciles breeding Imbiciles.

The Packers lack of size and physicality only allows winning the north which appears to be the rat consensus.

Sorry I go with Mcginn over a novice.

Keep wiping each other's butts.

Do you think he still has his 4.8 speed? If so, he's a STRONG safety!

Yeah, I kind of got carried away with the new discovery that bigger is better. Sam Adams, anyone?

Don't mind if I do!

So, you bow in adoration to a writer who basically ignores that the guys TT drafted in the first rounds of successive drafts to be the starting OT's are 6'6" and 6'5" because they don't fit neatly into his "the Packers don't get it" storyline? The fact that smaller players were playing because the intended starters were on IR just doesn't matter, huh?

Oh, BTW, the tackle drafted last year, Andrew Datko, is also 6'6". I guess that was irrelevant to his story, too?

Yup, those silly Packers just don't understand that it is good for O-linemen to be big.

Yup, trust a writer with a plethora of resources than snarky twitty wannabe comedian rats.

BTW did you actually measure Datko?

[mmmdk]

That is a hoot. My mom who only watches the Super Bowl kept commenting on how skinny the Ravens were.

No, I didn't measure Datko. Did McGinn actually measure Newhouse? Did he actually measure all of the other left tackles in the league so he could proclaim Newhouse to be one of the shortest left tackles in the league? Did he actually measure Barclay and all the other players for whom he gave height measurements? Did he actually weigh all those for whom he gave weights?

I find it less than straight forward of him to mention only recent draft picks who are short and/or light, while completely ignoring those like Bulaga, Sherrod, Datko, etc. who don't support his storyline. The article would have much more value if it were an objective analysis of all the recent acquisitions. Instead, his analysis is junk because it ignores too many facts, and cherry picks facts to support an hypothesis.

In short, this article is not his best work. It is mostly junk.
