254lbs - 305lbs - 340lbs - 295lbs

 

Mario is much bigger than most DE's so really our Dl is pretty big for a 4 man front.

That's it - Mario and Clowney were #1 overall picks because of their unique combination of size/speed. We are lucky to have Mario, but most pass rushers aren't huge because they sacrifice speed. That's where Branch comes in, when we need size over speed. Matchups. Edited by YoloinOhio

Keep in mind that Aaron Schobel played at around 245 and Dwight Freeney is 6'1" / 261 lbs... We will probably be making Hughes' side of the field an area of run stopping weakness, but as long as he can get around the corner to the QB, that's a risk they take...

I wonder if Jim and Pepper will move Mario around. And Hughes too.

 

Did not do it too much last year , but with the LBs Bills have in postions i would think Bills can line up that front seven alot of different ways. And get mismatches all over the place. as compared to mutiples and disguise Pettines forte.

Just a simple audible could do wonders against the run
