That’s very interesting. The problem with shedding that much weight quickly is that you can lose muscle mass and strength during the process. Obviously losing weight is ideal for some players but to read that there defensive tackle dropped 40 pounds, that’s pretty crazy.

I’m sure this will make them faster, but we have a lot of speedsters on offense which I don’t think it will help them catch us. Furthermore, I think this just helps our offensive line. If our line has improved, this should help them tire out their defense as we grind away at them. This is another thing that is going in our direction.

Our OL is bigger than ever, let’s run them over
