You guys can laugh all you want, but in five years you'll see New England, KC and other elite teams with tackles and guards somewhere in the 5'8" to 5'10" range with 44"-46" arms. As the "heads up" tackling method becomes more popular, shorter and heavier players pack more punch than tall, muscular players. We can re-visit this thread in a few years and you can all laugh then....or apologize to those of us who at least have a rudimentary understanding of physics.

Pretty sure this guy eats crayonz...

Indulging you, rudimentary understanding of physics and complete lack of understanding of anatomy. Draw for me a 68-70 inch person with 46 inch arms. Unless you have his shoulders emanating from the top of his head he'll be stepping on his fingers.

Physics: Low man wins.

Anatomy: Endomorph

Heads up tackling and blocking: Our new o line helmets will fit squarely into the chest/core of defensive lineman.

Pros: Increased passing lanes for Taylor, firing off the line into the core of the d lineman's body, better run game

Cons: Don't see any but I'm sure you comedians will find something to B word about.
