Can't speak for Tiki and LJ, but LT is actually great at minimizing how much contact he takes, because he gets so low.

There was actually a lot of coverage of this recently with him breaking the record, LT himself admitted that he used to seek out defenders and try to bowl them over to get his team pumped and prove to the defense how tough he was, but he quickly realized the toll that was taking on him, and started thinking about how to get low and avoid the brunt of the hit, or get out of bounds.

When you think about it, it's true -- when was the last time you saw a LB really lay the lumber on LT?
