Orlando Brown passed away today at the age of 40. This has happened SO many times in the last few years. Is this something that we are going to continue to see over the next few years, since linemen have gotten to be superhuman in size? 25 years ago, a 300 pound lineman was huge. He was exceptionally large. Now, there are colleges with entire starting offensive lines that are over 300 pounds. Maybe we have finally reached the point where players need to actually be smaller. What do you think?

I wonder what is going through Jeff Triplette's head right now.
