BBTV Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I don't know who that is, but I assume he was big and fat before. Along those lines, it absolutely blows my mind when you hear about some of these college athletes who convert from TE to OT, and they put on 80lbs in order to make the switch. EIGHTY POUNDS. I've heard of it several times, including some guy that the Eagles are rumored to be interested in this year (after having success with other converted tight ends at tackle... Jason Peters for example.) I don't how you do that to your body. Even if you were a 240lb TE, that's still a 30% increase in a short period of time. Your joints and spine can't possibly be ready for that... and how do you actually do it? I get that these guys do nothing but work out, but there's only so much muscle you can add. I assume they're also eating an extremely high-protein diet or maybe the Rock's diet of 20lbs of cod / day (but I somehow doubt that.)

CS85 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Kyle Long similarly dropped a ton of weight after getting out of football. Keeping on a ridiculous pile of bulk requires a ton of work and an obscene diet. It's gotta feel so liberating to graduate away from maintaining a 40,000 calorie-a-day lifestyle just so other 300+lb guys can hit you 6 days a week. 4 Quote Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

His name is Brennan Williams but you might know him best as WWE Superstar ma.çé of Maximum Male Models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really don't know who Russell Okung is, you should never comment on anything involving the NFL again. I mean, he was no Ken Anderson, but still. 4 2 Quote It's where I sit.

PERRIN Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 First-round pick, 2-time Pro Bowler, all-around great player. Protected Russel Wilson's blindside during the Legion of Boom's golden years and paved the way for Marshawn Lynch on some of his most iconic runs. He wasn't exactly the flashy type, nor was he an all-time talent, but he was a great player. Still, surprised that some NFL fans had never heard the name before. I immediately recognized the name, and it's super cool to see his transformation. 3 Quote Perrin Grubb | Aspiring Designer | NAFA Project ~ NFL Redesigns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Not knowing an anonymous offensive lineman that may have played against your team once, and was not notable enough to be mentioned on highlight shows (because… offensive line) and made exactly 1 more pro-bowl that the Ravens backup qb is a badge I’ll wear proudly. And you’re likely insulting plenty of members of this very forum at the same time. Give me a break. Never post about football again for that? LOL. If the new requirement is to know every offensive lineman, have fun chatting with yourself. 1 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

I'm pretty sure that's his name anyway. I'm not entirely sure I could name another offensive lineman in the entire NFL. At least not in early April. Try me again in late August. EDIT: Jason Kelce. I know his name too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know his name too. According to some, you should never be allowed to post about football again. (though I can at least say I know every Eagles OL that's been a legit starter since the early '90s... and especially recently since 2 recent+current are lock HOFers and 1 is borderline.) But that's my team. I don't even know how in the world an average fan would ever have heard of 90% of lineman out there, and I don't need snobs telling me that I don't need football. FOH with that. EDIT: to keep it real, I don't follow too much outside the Eagles, and I don't play fantasy sports, so unless they're superstars or have some notable accomplishment behind them, I won't know who they are. I didn't know who AJ Brown was when we got him, and couldn't name a single AZ Cardinal outside of their dummy QB. But still - FOH. 1 1 1 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Even if you did fantasy that’s not helping you in knowing lineman because all you select are skills players. Even most fantasy leagues you just select a teams defense and special teams and not players on that side of the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I built my team around Jon Runyan.
