He said that was what attracted them to Carl Nicks was that as a big man like that engaged, it gave 'em some more range to get push on the inside. First I'd heard that thinking...

But if you look at what they've signed, used on the inside, even Center, rarely did they deploy guys 6' 3" at C or even below 6' 5" with Jahri Evans being the exception...

I can sort of understand the thinking, long arms, bigger frame, of course it will give mor reach and range. Just that it usually comes at the expense of push and drive.

Jahri was the best of the bunch... IMHO he is the second best lineman we've had after Roaf.
