anyways, i flipped the 2 years he mentioned...he started 242 one year, finshed at 230 (his real weight)...started at 252 last year (the number i was looking at)


the point stands....his listed weight everywhere is around 230...he's admitted finishing seasons at 230....bulking up to come into camp at 240-250 doesn't mean anything...you're losing it immediately and playing the season closer to your ACTUAL weight...230...

jesus, i like the kid...but he isn't playing at 250...by his own damn admission...

I went back and found what you were referring too.

I think he is alright too not bashing him.

Guardian says he lost 12lbs his first year, not unheard of. Went in heavier this year so his point is he should have been around 240 end of the season.

You can't lose 30lbs during the season unless you were roiding or something in the off season or caught a disease.

Regardless I think going into year 3 he looks ok. We seem to give up on players too soon. Especially LB's.

He doesn't have to be a star just a good player.
