Post some really positive news you've heard

[30yrheel]

I'm a lifter myself, 10 lbs. on me is incredible, 10 lbs. on a guy that's close to 300 lbs. isn't much for him. Plus they have the best training and nutrition.

Our linebacker corps is going to be absolutely awesome. We have aggressive big strong fast LBs and our second teamers could probably start on a lot of teams.

He was a fan favorite at UL and will become one for the 'Boys. He had a monster year as a Junior at DT. He played DE his first 2 years. He was double team the beginning of the year and that allowed Elvis Dumervile to get all those sacks. Once they started to double team Elvis, he ended up with 5 - 1/2 sacks. Lives in the weight room. He will do whatever is asked of him without complaining.
Now if 2 years, if we could sign Brian Brohm, then we would be set for years.

Yea there is a plateau in lifting, but you can certainly break throught it, and it is generally easy when you're lifting all week every week, without regard to having to play football.

This is their career...

True!

I lift and 10 pounds is a lot for me but I have to work full time plus I don't eat right. These guys really have nothing else to do and they have full time trainers.

Yes they call that newbie gain. These guys have been lifting for years. Once you hit a certian spot it gets much harder to add. They also must be eating 7000 or 8000 calories per day.

Yeah I somewhat agree. I became a gym rat 4 1/2 years ago. I went from 160lbs to 195lbs in about 1 year of consistent lifting and proper dieting when I started. Right now I my weight ranges between 190-195 lbs. At 6'-2" thats an ideal height. I eat about 20 times my body weight in calories everyday.

I think AL Johnson doesn't have a hard time getting up to 300 plus lbs. The Cowboys have a great work-out program and Al Johnson makes enough money to hire a personal chef for dieting purposes. I think he just can't keep the weight on throughout an entire season.

Inorder for Al Johnson to play 300-310 lbs during the season, he has to get up to about 320 plus lbs. Training camp will take its toll because cardio and conditioning actually negates weight gain in "hard gainers" like Al Johnson. I am a hard gainer too, up until 4 years ago I was about 155lbs to 160lbs at 6'-2" thats skinny and if I miss more than 2 weeks of lifting I'll lose 10lbs easy. It must be wrose for a guy like Al Johnson who goes through a Parcells training camp and lives in the trenches for an entire season.

Anyway enough of my ramblings.......some really positive news I've heard

Chris Canty-----He'll play at a legit 300lbs this season. He wore down down the stretch last year, because he didn't get a full offseason of conditioning and weight training last offseason. I'll go out on a limb and predict ProBowl for Canty.

-Marcus Spears will lead or tie the team in sacks.

-Kevin Burnett has a Texas size chip on his shoulder. I think he'll come along faster than Bradie James did and have an excellent season in 2006.

-Andre Gurode........2nd year to grasp the offense at the center
position. I think the tweaks in the system made by Palmer and Sparano will benefit Gurode whom already has an edge athletically over Al Johnson.

 

[burmafrd]

AL has decided to bulk up- add some in exchange for some of his quickness.
That weight you can keep.

I walked into the Gym the other day and they kicked me out......They were afraid I would have a heart attack.

 

[royhitshard]

I wonder how these guys put on so much muscle without steriods? Ten pounds of extra muscle is a lot and should take a long time. I am not implying that they are using, I just wish I could put on muscle that fast.

When you are forced to eat right and have smart people telling you exactly how to work out, it can be done.

 

[Garret]

If Al ends up stating a doing a god job at center, would Gurode get a chance at left guard??????

 

[justbob]

I saved 15% with Gieco.

That is good news --I only saved 10%

 

[Yakuza Rich]

- Sean Payton is no longer our O-Coordinator

- DeMarcus Ware has put on 10 pounds of muscle w/o losing speed, playing the scheme is now second nature to him and has greatly improved him technique by improving his hand work.

- Chris Canty had gained 10-15 pounds of muscle.

- Bobby Carpenter is the fastest of any LB in the first 10 yards of the draft

- Washington State head coach called Jerry Hatcher "the best college D-Lineman he's ever seen."

- One scout said Skyler Green is one of the best punt returners he's ever seen.

- McQuistan has a ton of upside and was a steal that nobody is talking about.

- T.O. was more impressive in the weight room than originally expected.

- Witten, Rivera, Glenn, Bledsoe, Spears, and Ware have said they are all happy to have T.O. on the team.

- Jaws raved about Anthony Fasano.

- Drew Henson has impressed the coaching staff with his play in NFLE.

- The coaching staff feels they got a steal in Pat Watkins.

There ya go Cb. It's all about pacing yourself.

 

[Zaxor]

Man you all took them all already...hmmm....wait I know...

Bledsoe has yet to be sacked, fumble or throw an interception this this year

Well I tried:

 

[jazzcat22]

Hearing Parcells talk to the players drafted...proof he is still alive....

 

[StanleySpadowski]

The Commanders lost out on having Karl Payham, Manny Lawson and Brandon Marshall (or the equivalent) by trading up for a backup QB last year.
