Since DE's are not as "weighty" it might not be as important for an OT.

Yeah, we got I think 2 of the 3 smallest guys out of starters AND backups in the division. Our guys start, theirs don't.

Well Doc certainly is a big upgrade on that regard...about 35 pounds worth. Rabach and Jansen, if he starts, are the only sub300 guys left; however I don't think weight is an issue w/ Jansen, he must be very strong/tough, it's just a matter of his age/movement. We'll see...

I mostly hope that Dock can pick up where he left off here, more so than where he did in Buffalo. I've got a couple of Bills fan friends and they said he was nothing to talk about and that if they were Skins fans they'd say it would've been a "Snyder signing" (aka way overpaying).

Plus mark to him for WANTING to play for us, him and Samuels' friendship, etc.. I think that chemistry alone will help us, on top of the other things
