Jon Vilma vs Jerod Mayo

You are aware 10lbs is a good bit bigger? He plays a lot bigger than Vilma too IMO.

10 lbs is a big difference for a LB. Plus, Mayo could still put on another 5 to 10 lbs by maturation and still have his ability.

That said, lets be honest here. The reason why Mayo is running around like a madman making plays is because the Pats other LBs are slower than ****.

Plus, Mayo's body frame can add more pounds versus Vilma's smaller frame.

Too late.

Vilma doesn't hit anywhere near that hard. He kind of wraps guys up & they go at least an extra 2 yards. They're just different.

Like all the short passes last night. Pennington is more than capable of throwing those right on the money, but his windup is slower & they have a lot less velocity. That 3rd & 15 to Keller doesn't happen as a result; it barely happened as it did with Favre. Just saying they're both accurate doesn't mean their passes are the same or the result would be identical.

Same thing with Mayo/Vilma. They're just different types of hitters, each doing what is best-suited to their physical skills. Frankly, Vilma got pushed out of the way quite a bit by the lead blocker, "only" 10 lbs different or not.

Not everyone who runs the 40 in the same time plays at the same speed either.

The game isn't played at the scouting combine in shorts.
