Right on OL sizes that we will face but your conclusion is incorrect.
Size has been an issue. We had a roster full of 6’4 250 DEs.Not a recipe for a solid 3 man DL. Size is not the issue this year. We need to find the proper mux of speed and size on DL. And for the whole D communication and execution.
I suggest you scan the rosters for PL teams. You will find the sizes are comparable. DL needs to be fast and athletic as well as have adequate size.
