Largest Front 3s (3-4 teams)

[rock8591]

Are we actually the largest front 3 now for all 3-4 teams?

 

Jones 337

Chapman 341

Redding 318

 

That makes it an average of 332 lbs per man. Assuming Jones loses 15 or so pounds after off-season, that still makes it 327 pounds per man on average.

 

 

[B~Town]

Those are some big boys wonder how many calories they eat daily to keep that weight up while playing football

maybe with this size, we can do more than just contain a man and push the pocket back into the qb, almost as good as a sack

[SLILLINGTON10]

I rather a player show up big on the field, rather than on a stat sheet. Hopefully these guys do both this year.

Pushing the pocket back is a good thing for Mathis screaming around the outside. He will have

a monster year if they can do that.

I bet they are banned from all buffets in a 100 miles radius of Indy.

Mathis had a monster year last year.  The DL must have been doing something right. ;)

Def sounds like ALOT of Mass up front.

[Ja'Crispy]

Things sure have changed from the Dungy era. No more 270 lb tackles. 

[CR91]

thats 1300 pounds of mass along with hughes. good luck pushing that

[rock8591]

Even the backup are big now...

 

Hughes - Now at 350, playing weight around 335

Pendleton - 323

Kerr - 326-335

McKinney - 345

[trueblueblood]

It sure is a far cry from the 260 pound dt's from the Dungy era

[NewColtsFan]

For whatever it's worth,  Jones -- now listed at 337 -- says he plans to play much lighter than that.

 

Says he'll use camp to get into better shape and play at sub-320.

 

Not sure I buy it...   but that's what was reported by the team.

[Bravo]

Hey anything above 300 sounds good for a D lineman! If some of them want to get in better playing shape that is fine with me! I'm still happy about what the Colts have done with the D line! Let's stay healthy and give our linebackers some easy plays!!

IMO his regular weight has always been 330+ ish...NFL nor ESPN measures the players...only teams do, and oftentimes it is self-reported or outdated from college weights.

 

Here's him next to 340 lbs of Haloti Ngata...he doesn't look a gram under 340 in this picture.

 

 

Again looking very 330-340-ish.

But but but, speed kills...well unless you're a 260-270 lb td playing for the colts who just gets swallowed up. That's why we always needed to have a lead so they can just rush the passer. So glad that era is over also!!

Brings back memories

Not sure, but I would like to get paid to do it.
