Does height and weight matter when building a OT? I have two ROTs. Both with different height, but similar lower weight. Does OTs with weight over 300lbs do better in the running game or looks slower in pass blocking?

I could be wrong but when I roll players I always assume that more weight gives a block / break block bonus and less weight gives a speed bonus. I am unsure about height for the O line. I hate to admit it but I have a feeling shorter players do better on the line. This contradicts real life as most prototypical OTs are a minimum of 6'5'"

That's because they want an OT with long arms... once a defender gets inside the OT's arms, he is done... a lower center of gravity from being short is a good thing, but for OTs, arm length is king (thus in real life they put those 6'5" guys at OT). The perfect OT would be a short guy with exceptionally long arms

I don't know if this is that case or not, but if I'd programmed the game, I would give taller players a slightly larger radius within which they can engage a block, to simulate them probably having longer arms.
