Justin Houston and Randy Gregory

[ActualCowboysFan]

Houston failed a drug test at the combine. Worked out ok.

 

[Hoofbite]

OMG! This is totally an indication that Randy will have a 20-sack season.

I like the pick a lot, but the most concerning thing to me is his weight...

Yes same here. Even if he adds some weight over the next year or so, will he still be light for DE to hold up against some of the bigger OL in the NFL.

Agreed

MIchael Irving said last night that on game changers he weighed 248 when they taped that segment.

 

[mattjames2010]

The weight thing is completely blown out of proportion. He'll be in shape in no time.

Michael who?

More than the drugs, his low weight and the resulting pounding he'll take from NFL OTs are more concerning.

He broke his leg earlier in his career and then this past year had knee, head, and ankle injuries. Those injuries kept him out of the game against Iowa where I would have been really interesting to see him go against Scherff.

325 lb OTs going against 225 LBs can have a negative effect on the human body...

He has to gain weight.

I think what he's saying is more about how Justin Houston hasn't had any drug problems since being in the NFL.

And of course he will.

Michael who?

You know, the guy they named the city after.

 

[Tobal]

He seems powerful for 230, but to be a full time player he's gonna need to be in the 240's I think

Went and looked Robert Mathis is 245lbs, who is the lightest DE you guys can think of?

Jason Taylor had a similar physique. Charles Haley was listed as 6-5 235 when he played elephant for the 49ers. Once he played DE for the Cowboys he got up to 245 and eventually 255 late in his career.

Michael Strahan played the last 4-5 years of his career listed in that 255-260 range......and, he played LDE.

260s imo.

Michael who?

He meant to say Jason Whitten

 

[joseephuss]

Friends of Jay Novachek.

Gregory could probably put on some weight if he stopped smoking out. Every pothead I ever knew were skinny little things despite the munchies.

He will feel more powerful with the added weight. After his getting his feet wet, weight will start coming on...
