Our lineman (O-line mainly) in recent history have often looked like just big fat guys. Barely any muscle tone, big belly hanging over their belt, etc.
I know weight is generally a good thing for an O-lineman, but I have a hard time believing a player would be more effective at 340 pounds than at 310 pounds. Maybe in certain cases I guess, but not often.
If I ask my 3 year old to move some dumbbells in my make-shift carpeted gym, the effort and form to move the 40lbs vs the 10lbs in readily apparent.
Pass blocking guards sometimes just need to not be moved.
