Good thread for a dull time in the offseason. Talk about attention to details!

Jansen seemed to always play about 300 -305, maybe 310. This does seem a little light for him, but I think it sounds encouraging. It could go either way, he may have lost weight cause he's not maintaining muscle mass & is out of shape, or he might be fit & has slimmed down to get as quick as he can. DEs are always lighter the OT's so he'll have no problems matching up in the run blocking. He's slower w/age as all are, so it will help him if he's a little lighter.

ST's weight says to me that maybe he'd gotten a little fat last year & that affected his play in coverage. Good news that he's lost it. He's got to stop thinking he's a linebacker.

Portis is the one that concerns me. He may be getting fat due to his recovery limiting his activity. He could be slow to get into shape. Good thing Betts is signed.
