I guess that Steven Spielberg did do enough home work on this 'un.

So T-Rex was the Drew Bledsoe of the Jurassic world.

That's actually part of a longer ongoing debate. Some people say they could run (both feet being airborne at some point), they had large kneecaps and a large ilium which people think were to support massive leg muscles. Since nobody really knows how large the leg muscles were on a t-rex, it's not really possible to tell. Then again, when I was a kid, t-rex stood upright and dragged his tail in the dirt like on Land of the Lost and they found out that wasn't true so who knows?

They had to have slouched over, standing upright, I don't think they would have fit in the Ark.
