Very true but also if they got going,

BC who was big and slow could mash smaller, quick or not. Quickness does not matter as much if the other bigger slower team is having success going straight ahead running right to smaller and quicker players. Just like a team with an overload of 3pt shooters. On the occasions the 3pt guys get going, especially 2 or more, that can beat a lot of much quicker/athletic/bigger teams. Thing is with teams like BC was in football, they couldn't get going all that easily.

I would prefer 6-8 at 220 lbs with a 4.15 40yard dash time.

Rather be a couple inches undersized at every spot than be less athletic **
