Sean Jones listed at 270.  Might have been as light as 260.Santana Dotson was a svelt 289.Gilbert was a monster, but he was a terrible pass rusher.  Terrific in the run game though.Interestingly enough the current roster projects somewhat similarly, as Fritz ran a 4-3 under scheme.  Jones was the LEO rusher.  Ergo:Dotson = DanielsBrown = ClarkJones = PerryReggie....well, no one equals Reggie.  But on run downs, Lowry is approximately the same size and shape.And it can still work this way in the running game, though that's becoming more and more rare in any scheme.  It presumes a pure 2-gapping run defense where the 3 down linemen not only can eat two blockers, but are smart and skilled enough to read and react to how the linemen are trying to block them.  There's much less thinking in a 1-gapping scheme, which typically also allows for a more attacking approach.  Attack a gap rather than a player and you're setting yourself up to rush the passer.   This line of reasoning is how you end up with smaller (heh, smaller.  In the land where Daniels is considered small) quicker players--they're built to shoot gaps.EDIT: Listed Dotson twice in my equality chart.</blockquote>
