Nothing but linebacker talk!

Why would you think the physical game is harder to play than the finesse game (to use your distinctions)?

Let me remind you of an earlier part of our discussion:

2. The MLB has to take on \"more\" and \"bigger\" blockers and it makes his job harder than the WLB.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No. That is just one dimension of his job. So, while it may be harder on the MLB in terms of dealing with blockers, it doesn\'t make his job harder than the WLB\'s simplicter.

Didn\'t you just say this?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I\'m suggesting one position is more demanding in terms of strength and being physical.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In general, we agree on that, but that has nothing to do with one job being harder. Consider your top corner\'s job versus your wide-body DT? Who\'s job is harder?
