You guys are fricking idiots. The benefits of an interior DLmen having both a lot of mass and a low center of gravity has nothing to do with getting in the backfield. It has everything to do with being hard to move. Those tall OLmen can't get under them, and thus (assuming they are also big and strong, which Mack is) can't move them. Low man wins.

You obviously know nothing about football.

Being short and strong allows you to bullrush easily. The problem comes against the run when an OL just has to extend his arms and bend his knees and that short DL will not be able to hold his ground against the longer OL.

And Chavis runs a 4-3 scheme.
