Player's Weight

Who knows when they even update these things. Depending on what site you check you can find a pretty wide range of listed weights for these guys. I wouldn't get too excited over anything.

Exactly. It's possible that Taylor was heavier than what was listed last season.

I hear at one point last ear ST was about 240.

i thought teams always lied about height and weight anyway

Boys,
I was just browsing through the Redskins roster on redskins.com and it looks like they keep player height and weight data up to date. Three things stood out to me.

First Sean taylor at 212. This has already been discussed, he's dropped a lot of weight to be faster and a better ball hawk at the free safety position.

Second Clinton Portis at 223. Thats a lot heavier than what I was expecting. I think Portis is best at about 210 to 215 that way he is explosive but also hasthe power and pass protection strength that he does so well.

Third and most concerning Jon Jansen 297. I'm sure lots of people like myself have noticed a big dropoff in Jansens play. I think this number best describes the issue. He was lost his power. I don't know if it's because he can't lift weights with his injured thumbs or what. But Jansen playing RT should be at least 15 pounds heavier.
Discuss further!

I would not worry about any of this stuff.

Jansen does not need to be 320lbs to be effective. His current weight is just fine. Denver never has big guys on their line and they do just fine.

CP may be 223 right now but by the 1st game he'll be around 210lbs. These guys will loose weight right away during camp.

ST at 212 is going to be scary. He is going to be faster and ballhawking all over the field. This should hopefully help him in coverage.

OMG, Britany, like have you seen Portis and Samuels lately, they are like so huge. They really need to go on a diet, or do what I do and get lipo!


Are you guys serious? Since when do we care about the players weight. As long as they can still play Football who cares. You sound like this other member who was talking about B Lloyd gaining all of that weight during the offseason. It is a non topic.

Yes, can't speak for anybody but myself, but I do believe the thread was serious. I think at this point, the alternative is to not log onto the wp, or post a thread like "please provide some news or something to start a good thread about!"

There really is nothing going on.

I find it hilarious when people do not realize that I am making fun of myself!

I don't worry about this, or any such fluff at this time of year! TC, PS and the regular season are a long ways away. A FB has points at both ends and FB players have to make adjustments all of the time. This is the time to adjust!

I cant believe no one is worried about Carter at 252lbs.
