Y! SPORTS They've neutered him badly though. Can't even choose his starting QB?? Looks like the Vinny/Zorn show a few years back.

Re: Around the NFL 2013 Offseason (Episode 99)
it takes a lot of hard work and practice to get lucky. when a fat lineman continues to trail a play he knows he will never catch up to but then finds himself in the right spot to recover a fumble, its not luck. when a ball carrier fumbles the ball out of bounds, its not luck if he switched hands so he was carrying the ball on the outside.

my best assermation is "why does it take a lot of hard work to get lucky in sports?" - i guess i would point to my examples previously provided. fat boy running down the field futilely trailing the fast boys gets rewarded w a fumble recovery bc he continued to pursue the play and got rewarded for his hussle by being in the right spot at the right time . . but i often say "it takes a lot of hard work to get lucky" bc he i heard patrick roy say it years ago. i personally havent had an original thought in a long time. ohhh damn . i just thought of my very own original thought/cliche "By always being in the right spot, your time will come" ..that kinda sucks .. ''by always being at the right spot at the right time, you will be the first to answer to door when opportunity knocks" ... "the right spot is by the door, the right time is when opportunity knocks .. "no one has ever answered a door while sitting on the couch . . "if you stand by the door and wait, eventually you will be in the right spot at the right time when opportunity knocks ...

Looks like Packers RB Eddie Lacy threw on some pounds between OTAs and training camp....

Re: Around the NFL 2013 Offseason (Episode 99)
Ok, why is it "not" luck for the fat guy to recover the fumble ?

Re: Around the NFL 2013 Offseason (Episode 99)
The defensive lineman in OTM's example put himself in position to recover the fumble because he didn't give up and kept chasing the ballcarrier even though he knew he had no chance of catching him. I wouldn't call that luck; I would call it fortitude.

Re: Around the NFL 2013 Offseason (Episode 99)
My mind is still blown from the Eddie Lacy picture above.
And he wonders why he wasn't drafted in the first round..

Luckily for the Jets, Geno Smith isn't as bad as Lacy, but apparently he's not very fit either.

Amazing... these guys are called athletes for a reason. A big part of your job involves being in tip top shape. Just no excuses.
