I almost wonder if it has nothing to do with stamina. If he ain't there now, when's he gonna get there?
Football shape is football shape and it just seems that the only way you can do it is by playing. That's not gonna happen riding a cardio bike.

It isn't about his weight but more than ACL and now the hamstring.
How the body works is that, when there's an injury or "pain", that works as afferent feedback to the sensory part of the brain. And then there's a reduction in motor unit recruitment and thus, his ability to be explosive is very diminished .
So my guess is part of why he got beat on that speed rush is that the hammy and knee still aren't quite 100%.
If he can get through these next two weeks and show progress they will slide him out there.
I do think if he's getting his ass handed to him we can slide Joe out to LT.
At least we have options.
