What is the Avg size of a linemen (18 yrs - 21 yrs old) Just how physical do the linemen get in the game, do they just go for tackling the ballcarrier, or do they fall on each other alot?? do they intenionally fall on down players(when not tackling the ball carrier or is it just accidental most of the time)...how does a pile develop if there is no fumble? also does it hurt when linemen fall on each other, lets say a 250 pounder falls on a another 250 pounder, would it hurt as much as a 250lb player falling on a 180lb player or would it be just the same? also when a linemen collapses does it start a chain reaction of other players falling or are most non-fumble pileups a form of unnecessary roughness?
18-21 is college level and the high end college lineman are going to range from 280lbs - 350lbs....Lineman basically smash each other to bits on every play....the only way I could describe it to you(and keep in mind that I never played in a college game), is to say its like being in a car wreck 40 times in one day....as the season goes on, it gets worse as the collisions wear on you....fall on each other hurts, but not as bad as other contact....the worst thing in my opinion is getting your fingers caught between plastic pads and metal facemasks which happens over and over again and is like slamming your hand in a car door....if an offensive lineman drives a defensive lineman off his feet, he will fall on to him to keep him nuetralized....this is called a Pancake Block....football is rough, but rewarding....you condition yourself to ignore pain and you get through it....every is working togoether to cross the line and theres very few feelings better than the gust of wind you feel as a lineman when you move your man to the side and the RB goes flying past you.....
They pile up when there is no fumble because 99% of linemen are homosexuals and they want to rub on each other. It's very homo-erotic.

And wtf is with the thread starters obsession with "pileups". This is the 3rd thread he's started specifically about pileups. It's kinda creepy.
