That's not small for a three-man line.

They don't have the ideal huge NT, but plenty of NFL teams roll out three-man fronts no smaller than what West Virginia uses (49ers went to the Super Bowl playing Smith around 270, McDonald around 275 and a starting NT at 320, but he split time pretty evenly with a guy who weighed 295).

They don't have a lot of size at linebacker, but I don't think that's essential for that system. They're going to have 8-9 in the box a lot of the time and rely on speed/confusion more than size.

          I am not always right - Butcher of Bakersfield STL - 9/2 18:41:36
     Don't forget our return game and punter - Diamond Dave MU - 9/2 17:00:35
          I assume McCann wins the job. - zodiac6 JC - 9/2 17:32:20
               Agree. He's definitely kicking off. Don't expect returns - Diamond Dave MU - 9/2 17:33:52
     I will be amazed if we do pound them into submission - tigersailor MU - 9/2 16:58:05
          I have no idea what to expect from our O. - zodiac6 JC - 9/2 17:28:10
          Early season like this - cooter KC - 9/2 17:01:27
          My understanding is their D line is undersized - Butcher of Bakersfield STL - 9/2 17:01:08
               Their starting DL averages about 295 - zodiac6 JC - 9/2 17:07:23
                    I've heard size is a major problem - Mizzou Guru SEMO - 9/2 18:38:09
                    Yeah but that's only a three man front - JimD MU - 9/2 17:37:34
                         That's not small for a three-man line. - zodiac6 JC - 9/2 17:43:22
                              I thank you may be missing my point - JimD MU - 9/2 18:22:50
                                   Size still doesn't seem like an issue. - zodiac6 JC - 9/2 19:18:19
                                        Let's just say I like the matchup of our 300#+ o-line - JimD MU - 9/2 20:16:38
                                             We would've had the same size advantage had we played them - zodiac6 JC - 9/2 21:05:53
                              Yeah that 3-3-5 is only run by one other team in the FBS - Diamond Dave MU - 9/2 17:53:42
               Yeah we could grind them down with Joe John's guys too(nm) - tigersailor MU - 9/2 17:02:54
                    Yes, I do believe the TEs will be a definite position - Diamond Dave MU - 9/2 17:04:21
