Do you even think that weight is enough for a 3-4 OLB that was drafted to rush the passer? I don't, and if you look at the good passrushers in the league they all have something in common......every single one weighs 250lbs. or more. 

I’m saying just naturally he’ll get to that weight. With an NFL strength and training regimen they’ll get him to where he needs to be. 

I think he’s going to be a real player for us. Very excited to see him play.

I hope so because his agent or UF didn't do him any favors. If he can't maintain around 245-250lbs. he doesn't have a chance and the odds are already stacked against him.

He certainly was handled very poorly, after he declared for the draft. There's no denying his explosion and ability to wiggle and bend to get to the QB. I think we'll be very cautious this year with him.

When my brother was living with me, his girlfriend had two chihuahuas and she brought over some disgusting chihuahua rash and gave it to my brother. And even though I bought him his own towels to use, he would continue to use mine and I got this rash on my chest and had to go see a dermatologist, who recommended Herpecin and some pill. A year later, I go for a yearly physical and my doctor brings in this hot nursing intern to help him and what’s the first thing she see when she pops open my chart? Herpes meds. Disgusting 

You can just tell her you were filling in for Ron Jeremy.

He just said in todays presser that he played at 235. 

Are you sure that's what he said?  It sounded very mumbled / fast / hard to understand.  I didn't relisten, but I thought he said 245.  Maybe that's just what I wanted to hear?  :-)

My bad.  I just relistened.  Amusingly enough, it's at 2:35 of the video...  :-)  He definitely says 235.

I guess just before that he said that he thinks he *should* / could play at 245.  That must have been what confused me.
