    If Pettine leaves, I guarantee that Henderson gets the job. He's very popular with the players and they won't have to change the playbook.

     

    No doubt in my mind Henderson is our new defensive coordinator.

    I'm really torn on drafting a WR so early this year. I honestly like our crop (even if Stevie is kicked to the curb) and there are some decent free agents available as well. Not denying the talent of guys like Evans or Lee, I just feel like we could spend our picks better along the O-Line and then snag a WR and TE in free agency for some veteran stability at those very young positions (especially if we let Chandler walk which I think we will).

     

    I'm thinking an OT prospect like Cyrus Kouandijo or EJ's former teammate OT Cameron Erving for our first rounder. Both guys can play both Tackle or Guard, showing the versatility that our staff likes, and would be a starter at RT or RG from the first day of camp.

    This is an excellent thread and a great cause.

     

    Here's my story which hopefully provides some motivation.

     

    Back in February I weighed in at 255 pounds. Kinda the same song and dance, but I was just tired of being a fat guy. I had always been a pretty big dude since high school but I started to hate the way I looked and it honestly was impacting my health in a pretty negative way (I was getting winded a lot, plus some aches and pains attributed to carrying that weight around).

     

    I started a calorie-counting diet and began running on February 16th. I focused on fruit, veggies and fish and kicked junk food completely to the curb. This was particularly hard for me as I've got a massive sweet tooth but I just kept reminding myself of the end result. I started weighing myself every other day and writing the results up on a calendar in my office so it was staring at me in the face every day. I joined a run club up here in Wilton and what started off as just one mile walks two days out of the week has now grown into 5K runs at least three days of the week. Even more if my schedule allows, I honestly look forward to each and every workout now. I combine those runs with some light weight training and have stuck to the proper diet for the last seven months.

     

    Its not been fun and it certainly has not been easy but as of my last weigh in I'm at 157 pounds for a net loss of 98 pounds.

     

    I'm very happy with how I look right now and I've recently shifted into just maintaining my weight as opposed to losing any more. I'm a lean, mean running machine these days and I've honestly never felt better physically or mentally.

     

    Its all about motivation and will power. If you are honest with your dieting and workout routine then you'll just watch the weight peel right off. I'm anxious to follow everyone's progress here, keep it going guys and girls!
