That was a silly worry. Thankfully I wasn't thinking of it at all. No, not one bit. LOL.

I'll probably be labelled a debbie downer but I am not surprised by this at all. When you got a smaller C who is in the bottom 5 and 6 percent in height/weight respectfully it is going to be tough to keep him healthy from a physical standpoint because he is just going to be overmatched most games.

It's literally nothing to do with his size... And time and time again posters have pointed out how he's the same size of centers like Jeff Saturday who did not have many injuries in his career.

He's getting the welcomed to the NFL right now. Those D linemen he is facing are some big boys. He may want to gain some weight within next couple of years.

I strongly doubt this has anything to do with his size

I wouldn't trade Mekari. He's so versatile and too valuable to our team. Hard to find guys that can play every single position on the line and play them well.

I hope Linderbaum's size isn't going to be an injury problem but I do think he looks noticeably small beside the other O & D Linemen.

Jeff Saturday was in the 98 draft. People in general and NFL players in particular have got bigger since then, so I'm not sure that necessarily quiets all concerns.

Jason Kelce has also been very consistent. Hasn't missed a game since 2014.

Damn I didn't realize he's a 4x All Pro, that's HOF Territory

I'm not saying I'm concerned but when your best comparison is a HoF-er from a family of HoF-ers (probably) that's a little worrying in itself. How high is the bar Linderbaum needs to clear to succeed?
