So let me guess, height doesn't matter for OL either? You're an idiot.
Height matters a lot for OLmen (although centers can often be effective even when shorter) because they need reach for pass protection. DLmen don't pass protect.

More height = longer arms. Having length at defensive tackle makes it easier to tacklw RBs, sack QBs, and bat down passes. Don't tell me that height doesn't matter. Most of the exceptions for short DTs have been guys who excel at pass rushing and are used that way.
