There are a few fat linemen, but most of them are in better shape than anyone you know. I was mostly commenting about the stupidity of the BMI Charts, which don't even take sex into consideration when telling the world what they should weigh.
I didn't mean linebackers though, the linebackers on the graphs are all falling under 300. I meant O-line, DT's and some ends, though as mentioned there are DE's who are essentially interchangable with OLB's.
Seriously, combined with RG3 being a whole lot more underwhelming so far and potentially still injury risksy (he looked like he was back to head first running plays from what I saw Sunday night) the Rams might end up laughing all the way to the bank on this. Assuming they don't bumblefuck their way into a whole bunch of busts.
I'm echoing this. Thursday games just always seem to be sloppy and a poor on field product compared to Sunday games. I think it is a combination of player fatigue and coaches not having time to prepare. I have a hard time getting into any Thursday games because they're always either incredibly boring a clusterfuck.
Couldn't you could just skip the extra bye week, keep the rule of no TNF game unless it's after a bye by adding double header TNF (they actually discussed this part) games and the schedule wouldn't be negatively effected?
If TNF was the only oddity, probably, but you also have the London games to worry about (up to three next season!). Historically, they've tended to tie those to bye weeks.
