Leonard Fournette Checking In At 260lbs?

Got news for some of you.  LF has no gut.  That's muscle.  Would have loved to have him on this roster

I'm not gonna lie, Josh has been looking a little, um....HEFTY this offseason.

He's a young guy living his best life, and it's probably fine. 

I just hope that it doesn't affect his speed and athleticism. I also know that taking good care of one's body and nutrition increases the likelihood of a long career. There's a reason Tom Brady is still playing so well at age 44 and Ben Roethlisberger looked so awful at age 39.

 

Has anyone seen a picture of a shirtless Josh Allen?

 

Anyway, they call him "Playoff Lenny", not "July Lenny"....

Our Karlos Williams.  Cut him now to send a message.  You guys know the Bucs are my second team only for my sons as they were born and raised here.

 

there is now way this guy loses 30 lbs. I’m a month.  I did it in wrestling once, but I went to the extreme as

a teenager.  In retrospect I was incredibly unhealthy losing that much weight that fast.

 

place him on the practice squad and he can do an in season tryout when he hits 225lbs.

 

should have raised your kids as Bills fans.  What the heck man!!!😜

I did Ryan.  They are Bills fans, but like busting my chops when we were in the drought.  They grew up in Tampa, all their friends are Bucs fans, inundated with the media, etc.

I can believe the 245lb weight disclosure from Fournette. In that video posted from July 1 of him working out I would guess he weighed around 240lbs. In the Florida heat, he'll likely burn off the other 15lbs in TC pretty easily to be at his normal playing weight.

👍🏻  For sure.  He’ll be fine

Josh Allen is on the battering ram diet.

Did this thread really turn into people suggesting that Josh might eat himself out of the league? 😂

Yep. They can't talk about completion percentage, 300 yard games, 400 yard games, or anything else anymore. Now, he's a fatboy whose body is going to fall apart because he's not on the TB12 diet.

Maybe he’s been working out with Josh, according to Poyer on the Tyreek Hill podcast Allen is currently 260 LBs 

Allen was looking thicc during that golf event. But both of those guys show up on game day. Made the mistake of taking Ronald Jones ahead of LF last year in fantasy. Turrible.

Is the food in Buffalo going to ruin Josh Allen?

Yeah it sounds insane 260 Lb QB, but when you stop and look at Allen and his very large frame and ridiculous work ethic, now that 260 starts to look intriguing

As soon as I finished binge watching The Boys all these memes and clips started popping up everywhere. They’ve been the best free advertising ever. I bet people started watching just because of it.

Uh, there are reasons for playing weight limits beyond speed.

 

You can't strengthen tendons or ligaments.

People use the 237 number that Josh had at the combine but we all know that can't be true anymore.  I described him as probably a bucket of wings shy of 250 now but 260?  Maybe that's when fully padded.

I hope you're right.

While it's clear that he works super hard at his craft -- mechanics, throwing motion, etc -- I've never really heard him mention nutrition or diet. I HAVE heard him talk about crushing wings and drinking Labatt's. 

Like I said -- probably not too big a deal right now, but over time, a good diet and intelligent nutrition choices will preserve his athleticism and lengthen his career.

 

In an interview last year he mentioned that the team wanted him in the low 240's but he was over that because wings or whatever. He looks much bigger this year. 260 feels right. 

 

Josh has said he doesn't pay any attention to his diet. I wish he would. Body maintenance is important. It is a huge part of what makes TB TB.  He doesn't need to go full Brady, but if he could not go full Roethlisberger that would be great. 

Also, Allen is sponsored by Corona these days.

I watched that Tom Brady documentary, Man in the Arena, and in it, Brady said that he didn't actually start paying any attention to his body and nutrition until like year five or so. Hopefully, the same will be true for Josh, in that he'll soon realize the importance of it and incorporate it into his regimen.

On the one hand, I totally understand that he's a young guy enjoying his newfound fame and wealth. With that comes lavish meals and knocking back a few beers. No big deal.

On the other hand, for a guy who has such an incredible work ethic and who wants so badly to do everything in his power to be great and to win championships, you'd think that nutrition and body maintenance would enter the picture at some point.

I don't mean to wring my hands too much over it. It's not a huge deal at the present moment. Over time, however, diet and nutrition could be the difference between a 12 year career and a 15-20 year career, and I obviously want to see Josh under center for as long as humanly possible.

Sometimes in this world on rare occasions, freakish human beings come along who don’t seem to fit the mold like everyone else. Josh is already an outlier at 250 LBs, going to 260 doesn’t seem like it would be the stick that breaks the camels back.

 

 I’m no expert or doctor, but it seems to me they’re are plenty of athletes much larger and heavier than Allen who’s tendons or ligaments are just fine.

Right, I am not sure how big of a deal this is. Probably not huge, but 260 is a lot of human.

 

It is worth noting that there was an interview at the facilities last year where Josh said he was something like 7 lbs over weight at 149lbs. Or along those lines. So the staff have an idea of where they think Josh should be and it is a good amount less than 260.

Yeah I agree, I’m sure they like him at 240 and nimble, but I love flexing on my coworkers as I’m referring to the monster of a man playing QB for the Bills.

 

 Yes, I mean actually flexing as I remind them who their daddy is and he wears 17
