No...being naturally gifted with size and ability and taking advantage of it...that grind. And having guys like you watching them and cheering for them....that grind.

That's the type of response I figured I get.

Having abdominal surgery and realizing that my legs are everything, if I want to move right now...

My hips are grinding, yo!

Lol.

Smart man, I guess....your response was pretty typical too.....

I have no cartilage in my knees or right ankle from my grind.....

May Big Boy bring you Big Blessings.

I'm still good.


For the most part.

You were out over your skis a bit. Probably should bother to ask what people's life experiences are before attributing characteristics and motivations to strangers... and before you consider turning that statement back on me, you should read it carefully. I made no mention of anything about Collin's character or actions. I simply said that words mean very little compared to performance.

You said that was the response you figured to get and now your cry about it? If you figured that was the response you would get and not like it, why post your comment? Lol!! Some of you guys are just too funny!

Say like taking 15 credit hours a semester in Finance/Accounting, doing homework, working a work study job and two part time jobs and spending 30+ hours (probably more like 40 due to the games and travel) a week playing D1 baseball? That kind of grind?

BTW I took 19 hours and 22 hours my senior year in college and worked 48 hours a week in a factory....graduated at 21 and retired at 50...worked close to 90 hours a week in the fall and about 65 the rest of the year as an AD....I know a bit about grinding.....so spare me your sob story

Not crying, its called pushing back against the BS spewn by people who make generalizations about people they know nothing about and when presented with facts, either won't admit they were out of line or continue to demean them. Nice job.

I forgive you for being out of line and not having a clue as to my character or knowledge....

Good for you. And rather than insult you like you did me, I applaud your efforts.

Didn't realize I insulted you, not my intention...just standing up for my self. My apologies and Salud.

probably not, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him take first team reps at LG on Tuesday or Wednesday

 

[blueblood70]

Bro, you have to understand where my mind was at when I made that comment.. I followed Collins journey of fitness all through the off-season and was surprised he worked so hard to get lean, in fact he was proud of losing weight but trying to keep his speed and strength... When I saw the current photo and knowing all he has been through I really wasn't surprised, but if I'm being honest, there is a part of me that wonders if he got lazy during his time off? I mean, he's got to know that what happened with missing drug test gave him a horrible reputation with the fans and team right? Most likely the guy is suffering from a bit of denial right now, and since he has proven nothing since the Big Mike era, his stock is down and weight is up.. Just facts..

 

[johneric8]

Good! He's an OL player not a RB!

Look, the guy has put on 50 pounds in 5 weeks, I know that was not his intention.. He was proud of his weight loss journey at the start of training camp.. Color me surprised that is all.. Sure he may be a better player now that he is fat, but it doesn't diminish the fact that he was proud of his leaner physique a mere few weeks ago!

 

[charron]

He might be now but he sure as heck made a stink about not playing guard in the past. He is too good to cut him, but I hope hiss issues are behind him so he can ball out wherever they put him.
