    Thought that cutting Morse was on the cards since the start of the offseason …

     

    Then changed by mind yesterday when they traded Bates … Beane always surprises…

     

    I need to take a look in more detail at the top C draft prospects … think a Day 2 pick could be in play 

    That B. Limmer dude from Arkansas would be a guy to look at

    I don't have a lot of faith in the guy, honestly, Buffalo Bills - (-$41,313,381) worst in the nfl.

    Number 1 ...

    New England Patriots - $101,771,054

    wtf.

    Who has finished on top of the division the last couple years? not sure the 100Mil in cap space is working too well for them ATM when they were still multiple wins away from 500.

    I think it’s also as simple as they like VanDemark and Anderson and probably are resigning Edwards.  
     

    Get 1 or 2 other guys especially a backup center and I just don’t think it’s a big deal.  
     


    I also think Morse probably had 2-3 seasons left in the tank which could mean we have options with salary.  
     

    Have a plan B ready but Center is the absolute last thing I’m worried about.   


    I like Morse then others I know.  

    You like Morse, then after that, you like others that you know? I am pretty sure you can like multiple people at the same time.

     

    Unless you meant that you like Morse more than others do... which would make morse sense now that I think about it.

    Turns out it was a hip flexor, and he will participate at the pro day in April. 

    That's a relief, I popped/pulled my groin in college (not in a fun way). I was out for a couple months... it sucks, and it always felt like it could happen at any time again.

    Even when he starts slow he's not a bad football player and it's not because of his weight

     

    If he was 410 lb it would be concerning 

     

    He has never been a liability on the field and he's always been ready to play

     

    He is not a finesse tackle he is a road grader... He uses mass to lean on people... To be physically imposing he needs to be as big as possible while maintaining his athleticism

     

    It's not a problem if he's 30 lb overweight... In February

     

    He certainly is not 30 lb overweight in September 

     

    Being a professional football player is like being a professional boxer.. you can't stay in peak boxing condition 52 weeks straight

     

    That's why they go to a training camp for a fight and physically get into the best boxing shape.. you cannot maintain that peak form for 52 weeks

     

    Football players also cannot maintain that for 52 weeks and you have to find a balance... You definitely don't want to peek in September

     

    Dion Dawkins is a naturally huge man and if his balance.. is gaining 30 lb in the off-season 

     

    As a 6'5 man who could carry alot of weight that is not the worst thing .. especially for a position that they call the big uglies... They're called that for a reason they are big boys

     

    Until he shows he can't move it's not a problem

    ok... I will stop here. This isn't a thread for this convo

    I know that lineman definitely lose 20-30 lb at training camp

     

    All the time

     

    And if your a lineman if you can gain more mass while keeping the same speed and athleticism that's also never a bad thing

     

    Dion being a road grader at 330..  is way more imposing than being 310

     

    I've also had his back here for years and said the same thing last year when everybody was bashing him and I said it's not a problem he's our best lineman

     

    Thanks for playing

    Wilkin says he loses 10 lb a practice

     

    Now you replenish so you don't become malnourished... But it's very easy to lose 20-30 lb in a training camp as a big guy

     

    You obviously don't want a wide receiver coming in 30 lb heavy.. it's not the end of the world for a lineman who is a veteran and knows what he needs to do

    Training Camp and preseason isn't meant to get a player into shape. They should already have their conditioning pretty well maintained, and camp helps fine tune the conditioning to game condition. It is not designed to undo an entire offseason of being an out of shape slug. Dion has started multiple REGULAR seasons out of shape and looking sluggish and slow. As the seasons progressed he slowly got better and better as he was getting into better shape. There are ways to keep weight up during the season, just as there are ways to not show up completely out of shape when camp starts... (FYI, this has nothing to do with his athletic freakishness)

    Lmao the Dawkins bashing is Soo stupid and old

     

    He's literally playing the toughest line position in the NFL and he's our most consistent lineman

     

    There's not a lineman alive who doesn't carry 20 30 40 extra pounds in the off season... That's why you have OTAs and minicamp and training camp... Multiple sessions to get into shape the correct way

     

    No lineman walk around they're playing weight in the offseason because you are losing weight throughout the season and TC... That's a fact

     

    If you come into training camp 325 lb as a lineman... You're going to be leaving at 310 lb... Some lineman lose 30+ pounds

     

    Dawkins plays at around 320... And clearly carried a lot of water weight... I don't care if he's 355 lb in February

     

    He certainly wasn't 355 in August 

     

    Just look at the way he moves on a football field... He's a freak athlete for a guy his size... As long as you can keep your athleticism having more mass will never hurt you anymore well especially on the line

     

    If he was moving in quicksand it could be a problem but Dion is a freak athlete

    Don't think all of this fact or accurate... but good job coming to the rescue

    I don't understand why weighing in at 366 is good news for Sweat. It's a lot like the opposite. 

    If it's his playing weight, which he played at a very high level, I see it as a plus. At least he didn't put on the Dawkins 40 during the offseason
