Randy Gregory Making Progress

[conner01]

It has to be tough to put on 15-20 lbs of good weight while going through OTAs.

You ain't kidding
If he can come out of camp at 245 I think that's extremely good. If he is to get to the 250-255 range I don't think that's gonna happen this year
I think a full off season is gonna be needed

Not when you got the munchies.

Houston and a East Texas compare much better with the Deep South than Dallas. When I used to travel to Texas a couple times a year, I always noticed that Pine trees disappeared as I traveled West towards Dallas. When the number of Pines decreased, so did the humidity. Being raised I humid hell, I noticed the lack of humidity more than some people. I find the hot days in a dryer climate to be pleasant compared to the high humidity that I live in. It gets miserable when you feel like you are breathing steam all the time. I don't know if training in the hot, humid conditions would be a benefit to the team, but it would sure teach them to drink more water.

I agree, I can feel the difference from Houston to Austin, it is drier condition. Still relatively humid but not the same. Dallas can be the same way when you get that southerly flow coming from the gulf, not to mention the massive rain fall we have been experiencing here in Texas.

You want hot and humid, go to my hometown (Brownsville,Texas) in August

My hometown is Brownsville too. I live in Deadskin country now.

he went from 235 at combine to now 243 that is 8 pounds I don't think adding another 7 pounds between now and training camp is out of the question.

From what he and others have said, he has been above that weight before. It is about keeping it on.

That is true and the Cowboys have people on staff to help him achieve and maintain the weight

Not when you got the munchies.

I would expect that the munchies would have helped him gain weight. Without the grass, the guy could be CB size.

Ever been to Beaumont you need gills to breathe int hat town especially in the evening.

yep. 90-98 degrees and 70-80 percent humidity are pretty much the norm this time of year. The air is 'heavy'.

No doubt
I'm talking coming out of camp
Most players drop weight in camp
If he can come out of camp at 245 I think that's pretty good, anything over that is a bonus
Last year he dropped weight during the season which I think won't be an issue here so hopefully if he can maintain that weight this season I think he could easily add another 10 in a full off season
To me anything over 245 coming out of camp is a bonus
