Alk Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 The dude hasn't played football in how long? 12 oz. curls will do that to a guy. I'm living proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Time will tell. If he was working out and it is by design more power to him. I would sacrfice some of his speed for a full season if that is what it takes. If he is out of shape though we will know it real soon. Day 3, Abraham did not practice. That is what I don't want to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Hasn't played a game since November, he hasn't been with the team since the end of the season and now he's come back 10 pounds? He obviously has done jack sh*t, he is not in shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bman Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 you cant say he hasn't done jack sh*t..You have no idea...The guy is playing for a contract. 10 lbs either way will mean nothing..had he been in camp that 10 lbs would have been gone...He'll probably lose 5 by 9/11... it's unbelievable the amount of crap this guy takes...He is 10 x's better than B. Thomas...I can't wait to see him play.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas...I can't wait to see him play.. Maybe because he can't stay healthy for an entire season and he's always out like a little bitch when the games count. 10x's better then BT? I don't believe so. If anything BT is 10x better then Abraham at stopping the run, the only thing Abraham has on him is he'll get double digit sacks while Thomas would probably end up with 5 or 6.

bman Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Abraham is a game changer...Thomas is NOT...enough said...Out defense will be BETTER with him playing..It drops off without him...

I agree he needs to play a full season..as does Pennington..As do all of our elite players... Abraham is the better player and a game changer to a certain extent and their is no question the defense is better but I'd rather have BT play 16 games then Abe play 7 and then sit out with a hangnail. Bottom line is at the end of this season, franchise him and trade him for a 1st round draft pick and sit comfortably with 2 1st round draft picks using one on a DT and the other on an OT.

BlackLabelJetsFan Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 You're assuming its 10 pounds of fat. 10 pounds of muscle to make him more durable is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, you're all forgetting this guy played at 256 last year. Coming in at 266 isnt the end of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbn007 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 If the extra 10 pounds helps him stay healthier, meaning less knicks and bruises, so be it. If it also helps him fight off linemen and play the run better, so be it. I can live with a little reduced speed. The whole idea is that he is ready to play every week, and continues to be the game changer he should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets28 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Read an article people....actually get some info and then offer a response...things run like wildfire here. And you call yourselves knowledgeable....anywho, the 10 pounds gained were intentionally. He says that he usually loses weight during the season and he thinks the 10 pounds will help him withstand the rush better and make him a little more durable in a sense. He wants to try and keep the 10 pounds all season. And he has been working out. Please check for info before you start steppin in the sh*te you spew...sheesh. And if anyone watched Sportsdesk last night you will see that it was clearly muscle. Mostly in arms and chest it seemed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 10 pounds arn't gonna help him stop the run, his ability is to rush the passer, not to stop the run, he will continue to be TERRIBLE against the run which is why in obvious running situations, Thomas should be in there.
