How the offensive and defensive line would look like for the Detroit Tigers

Offensive Lineman – Joe Jimenez

Only one real option on the team, the Tigers aren’t the burliest group. Yes, they’ve got some guys in the low to mid 200’s when it comes to the “lbs”, but Jimenez is the player on the roster who checks in over the 270 mark. At 6’3″, Jimenez stands at the same height as quarterback Mize, so there shouldn’t be too many vision obstructions to worry about.

Interior Defensive Line – Miguel Cabrera

The future Hall of Famer and current member of the 500 home run club, Miggy can plug the middle of the line and stuff the run with his 6’4″, 240 lb frame. I didn’t put Cabrera as the offensive lineman because of injury history, and lack of explosive speed. Edge rushers would have a field day getting around number 24. Here he can succeed a bit more in my opinion. I could be completely wrong. I should just leave true football analysis to our site mates.

Edge Rusher – Jonathan Schoop

Admittedly there is no clear edge rusher on the Tigers roster. C’mon Al Avila, get it together! That said, Schoop has enough size to at least attempt to get by an offensive tackle. One thing we know for sure about Schoop is his versatility. If we asked him to get on the defensive end, I have no doubts he’d give it a shot.
