The strong-side is less specific, but seems to be reserved for athletic players over pounds. I want to focus on the inside and middle positions. This is an area where pounds is considered the minimum and pounds or more is what is considered ideal.

This year, Rey Maualuga is highly regarded not just because of his ability, but because he has prototypical size and could even bulk up more. James Laurinaitis has seen his stock drop, and I have read on multiple occasions, that he needs to bulk up. Last I saw, Laurinaitis was pounds. He can then play off the block and make the tackle.
