i dunno adjusting if the height/weight elements of Archetypes is NGTH or not, but I'd really like there to be at least one archetype where the DB can be a bit taller.

there's teams out there where every WR and TE is 6'6'' and the QB just has to loft it up to them.... the tallest any DB can be is 6'3'' particularly a problem in younger teams (and the passing buff at that level doesn't help).

I know its not "real life"--but neither is having so many tall WRs. the average NFL WR is 6'2" and I can't think of too many 6'6" guys.

Not to mention that there are DB's taller than 6'3" out there. I suspect GLB doesn't wanna muck up the WR vs CB system any... but I agree with ya fogie. +1

If only the height advantage actually worked like that. QBs shouldn't have any problems passing to 6 foot 8 TEs being covered by 5 foot 10 CBs, but for some reason the CBs break the passes up anyway.

DBs are typically short, suffer from NC (Napoleon complex) ---- Other DBs of mentioning

Yep, those are DBs for you

I want to make a DE that is 4 feet tall and 150 lbs of muscle. Then laugh as he crawls under and around the 6'6" OTs legs and lays a thunderous hit on the QB.

When we were creating the archetypes I compiled a list of heights/weights by position. Catch ended up making the call on actual height/weight ranges, but we used actual NFL data to determine them.

Here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0At0rZZCgfGmqdGpWX3c4eGRGOGxjWkVBSlRJQS1Cc1E&output=html

Tallest CB at the time was 6'3




Thread falls under NGTH (changes to archetypes).
