I agree that it comes into play, but that's what I'm trying to say - is it is just one thing among others that affects the way a lineman plays or how they should play. But when it's all said and done - it's about how they play not how big they are.
You can't make a broad generalization that the bigger man will do better than a smaller man at the same position. This is most effective when you are playing the game on paper. On paper, the bigger you are the better you are.
