Ever Since '86 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 He did play like a savage animal which tells me its not a heart issue, if we can get this guy in Round 2 I'd feel alot better about the run D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_red Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Dude thats nothing, I put on 12 lbs on my honeymoon. He's a true NT. Last time I checked, Ted Washington, Casey Hampton, Vince Wolfork and Sean Rodgers aren't swimsuit models. If we are gong to switch to a 3-4, he's the most important piece to that puzzle. it shows the guy is a lazy fat ass. If you gain 15 pounds in 20 days before the Sr. Bowl what makes you think he will keep his weight in check before the sart of the year? If he doesn't get back to 350s before the combine it is going to kill his stock, at 350 his stamina was low at 370 it is going to flat out suck.

If he is there at #9, sorry guys who disagree, but if the Bills like him, take him. He becomes our nose tackle (maybe not starting right away Stroud/Williams, but certainly in the future) on the 3-4 defense and can help improve our run defense on the inside instantly.

jangalang Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Positives from yesterday about Cody from a UA beat writer's twitter: "Cody just drove Ole Miss' John Jerry straight backward. He may be 370, but he knows how to use it." "Cody just took Southern Cal OL Jeff Byers' lunch money too." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jangalang Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 you are making the mistake of assuming that his listed weight was his actual weight Exactly...when Saban was asked to guess his weight, he was 2 lbs off by guessing 368. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurman#1 Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 You add a weight clause in his contract then. The guy can dunk a basketball. He is a freak at his size. People over think things sometimes. He dominanted for the national champs. Without Cody, McClain isn't a top 10 pick. Cody is an instant run defense upgrade. Has he dunked a basketball at this weight, or was it only back when he was ... uhm ... a svelte 350 or so? Look at this picture and Cody's manboobs ... http://www.footballsfuture.com/2010/seniorbowl/monday.html Not good. you are making the mistake of assuming that his listed weight was his actual weight No, he wasn't able to get away with that. http://blog.al.com/press-register-sp...errence_c.html This guy's weight has swung, in what, 9 months? From above 400 to 355 and back up to 370. The fact that he could lose all that weight seemed to be a positive sign. That's all by the boards, along with all thoughts of self-control and self-discipline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALL lineman especially college lineman will gain a decent amount of "bad" weight within 3 weeks after the season. Yeah it's not much of an excuse to just do nothing for those 3 weeks, but you can't blame him if he decided to take a mental and physical break before his greatest challenge yet. His style is reminiscent of warren sapp imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBill Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/story/1...r-bowl-practice This has been reported in many places. IMHO it moves him, for us at least, out of consideration for even a trade-down in the first. Guys with weight problems aren't going to look good to Nix. It is amazing to think that when potential millions ride on staying in shape some elect not to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a defender of overweight people because I do think the majority of people like that are jsut lazy. However, some people really can't control it at a certain point. Cody is a freak athlete at his size. How much was Te Washington at the end of his career? How much would Cody have to move? Honestly if Cody is 500 lbs and there in the 2nd, I'd still take him. He is an absolute load and makes LBs better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He apparently came into Alabama at over 400 and had to lose weight. He's clearly got a weight problem, but he's not a bum by just about any account other than a picture of him with his shirt off.

gonzo1105 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Don't be surprised if the Bills switch to a 3-4 defense this year if the Bills trade down and take Dan Williams from Tennessee....He is a much more cut 325 and is more then capable of filling the NG role in a 3-4. His stock will definetely rise as time goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'ts more than possible to flux your weight from cycling months of hard physical activity poorly. Here's to the new S&C Coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think someone who plays at 350 is going to feel a 20lb difference? There is also something else called "program" weight. College players are always listed taller/lighter/heavier than they actuallly are. Again, look at the 3-4 NT's, they are all enormously fat. They are 2 gap tackles who have to hold up agaisnt consistent double teams by two 300+ O lineman! Jeff Wright looked great with his shirt off but couldn't bring down a 200lb back let alone take on a double team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
