Word...I mean there's been some debate whether Rabach's size is a factor in his paltry performance. I tend to think it makes a difference. He's 6-4 and under 290 making him almost "lanky" for an interior lineman. If he was 6-1 and the same weight, w/ a lower center of gravity, he'd probably get pushed around far less than he currently does. I'm on board w/ the Mack movement 53...just don't know how likely it is w/ our stupid draft situation.
