Kyle Williams 6-1, 303
Kawann Short 6-3, 315
Gerald McCoy 6-4, 300

What is that comparison supposed to prove? Some of those guys are pass rushers, some are run stuffers, and some are both. Being selected to the pro bowl means very little anymore.

You are still hung up on height, which was never part of anything I had to say.

It wasn't directed at you specifically BM. Several here have said he's undersized and thats just not true at all. He's the same size as the elite DT's in the league.

I wasn't ripping on you.
