It wont matter at all... just a number.. in my experience they play the same.. on defense dudes play better oop sometimes.. hicks is a great example.. hes an 85 ovl, give em DT chem and hes an 81 300+ lb animal (on theme) .. i have seymour and goose.. hicks gets home just as much... hes now the RE in 4 man fronts (rateing back to 86) .. its a big ol' defensive line lol
