Small Julius blurb... - Dallas Cowboys Forum

Nav22 · 06-03-2005

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports Julius Jones has added muscle mass in the offseason. "Last year I was kind of shriveled up after I broke my shoulder. I got back in the weight room and put on some bulk. I guess it's showing, huh?"

"Shriveled up"? I thought he looked pretty ripped last year. He must be a monster now...wish I had a pic.

That is somewhat old- came out last week. Would be interesting to compare a picture of him this year with last year's training camp photos. More upper body strength will help him take hits and deal them out- also help him in trying for that extra yard, and in blocking.

It seems like I've been reading about a lot of players either bulking up, (JJ, Quincy Morgan, Lousaka Polite, Stephen Peterman, etc.), or trimming down, (Larry Allen, Marcus Spears, etc.). I think we got a real winner in Joe Juraszek, the strength & conditioning coach. I don't know much about him, but I have rarely seen as many players come back one year later with so much added bulk & strength.

Not only will this help us in the obvious area of one-on-one competition in games, but I think we will see a diminishing IR list, which is just as critical. The last couple of years, especially last year, we have been inundated with injuries to key players. I am really stoked that we have a guy who has sold the players on continuing to get bigger, stronger, and quicker. It will really begin to show up in the last few minutes of games, and as the season wears on.

Maybe but Ive always been kind of leery of the guy. Im sure some of it has to do with astroturf but every single year that hes been here multiple receivers have gone down with season ending injuries.

EVERY FRIGGIN YEAR.

Personally, I can't really tell any difference by these pics. However, when I was watching him and Witten in the Battle of the Gridiron thing on ESPN. He looked swollen in that b-ball jersey he was wearing.

Its parcells leaning on these guys and telling Juraszek what he wants and expects.

I really hope that after Peterman went down last season that he went to Juraszek and Al Johnson and asked "What did Al do last year? Let me do the same thing"

Actually last year,looking at some other pics, his arms did look kinda of small,and these pics from Mini camp, wow he did bulk up, hopfully that means he wont be fumbling, or tapping his helmet any time soon,

Hollywood Henderson · 06-03-2005

Great, as long as he doesn't lose any quickness...
Fella's, this team has a couple weapoms now!

StonetheCrow77 · 06-03-2005

Who went down in 2003?

heavyg · 06-03-2005

Don't kill me for this. I commented on the bulk of his arms when those pics were posted last week. However, looking at them today. It looks like he needs to work on his legs as well. He looks to be all upper body and no legs (chicken legs). Am I wrong?

**MichaelWinicki** · 06-03-2005

And remember even last year Julius made Tatum Bell look like a stick man.

Exactly, as Juraszek's been around in Dallas for some time without these results.

JrGaf · 06-03-2005

Parcells said he was going to be different. He has his foot down.
