True, but that has little to do with the team itself, which was the premises of the post. Bears' linebackers all around 230 lbs, can you imagine them trying to get past Newton, Williams, even Gesek at 282 lbs? Heck even "skinny" Novacek outweighed their linebackers.

Problem is, it involves different eras, in 1985 most teams didn't have all or nearly all 300 lb'ers on the o-line, e.g. But again the premises of the article was the 1985 Bears vs. the 1992 Cowboys, so my post stands...
230 is still a common weight for LB's. Darius Leonard, Fred Warner, Eric Kendricks, Corey Littleton, Lavonte David, Roquan Smith, Devin White, all around 230. At the MLB position, short area quickness is at a premium, so the guys who are around 6/230 are generally your best bet there.

Cowboys' best success lately came with LVE, McClain, etc. at mlb, both guys over 250 lbs. Yes most are around the 230 weight but a bigger linebacker would be more successful against the 1985 Bears offense, I'm comparing those two teams, not linebackers or other players in general....
