The Wait for Updated Weight is Over (The Bigger is Better Edition)

[NewColtsFan]

So,  periodically,  I'll print a new roster....   we've added some players,  dropped some players, and I want a hard copy of the latest.   I did that yesterday.   And I couldn't help but notice that there are new weights for the players. 

 

I've cut and pasted a copy of the roster, and then I've inserted how much weight has been gained, or in some interesting cases,  lost.     I've put into BOLD the numbers that jump out at me and that I thought you'd find interesting.

 

I think the team is making a conscious effort to get BFS,  Bigger/Faster/Stronger.   

 

Where the gain is +/- 5 pounds, I wouldn't read anything into that.  But where the gain is more than that,  I think it's worth noting.   There are some players who have gained considerable weight, like Josh Chapman is now 340, up 24 pounds!    But, 4 or our top 6 offensive tackles have lost weight, in some cases a fair amount of weight.   I don't think that is a coincidence.   I think that's a spot we've decided to try and be a half-step quicker at.

 

Anyway....  check it out....   see what catches your eye!  

 

Enjoy!

Hilton lost 5lbs lol. Good to see Chapman bulked up. I guess bob griffin isn't real serious about making the team.

[CR91]

Noooooooooooooooo luck gained 5 pounds :'(. He's getting fat

[Smonroe]

I get the bigger part.  And probably stronger.  But what makes you think we're faster?  Faster than what?

 

Yes, we certainly have a lot of beef, especially on that D line.  But it's not like the RBs are going to run into them, they try to go around.

 

And before people jump on me, I understand the role of the D linemen.  We don't want our LBs fending off G's when they're trying to tackle.  I'm hoping the 'bigger is better' philosophy works.  However, 'better talent is better' is more successful.  I think we've upgraded talent wise.  Can't wait to see if we're right.

I got on an elevator with RG330 (now RG360) one time in Dallas when he was training before the draft.  I asked him if he thought it could hold him.  He seemed like a nice kid.  Thank goodness he had a sense of humor.  He's a longshot, but I'm wishing him luck.

What, are we converting Mcafee to Interior Iinebacker now to? ;)   

 

Im not sure I would read alot into many of the players current weight to be honest, They have been off for 6 months, Not surprising some have gained significant weight, Not all players go above and beyond to stay in shape and even some that do can gain quite a bit of weight,

Apologies.......     here is a MUCH easier to read list.....   The changes will be much more obvious!

 

Enjoy!

Man, RG3 gets injured and gains major weight to 300+ won't be no Read Option for Washington this Year.

Only joking. If he can drop or turn some of that into muscle, I wouldn't mind having him block for Andrew Luck this year

[BOTT]

I get the bigger part.  And probably stronger.  But what makes you think we're faster?  Faster than what?

 

Yes, we certainly have a lot of beef, especially on that D line.  But it's not like the RBs are going to run into them, they try to go around.

 

And before people jump on me, I understand the role of the D linemen.  We don't want our LBs fending off G's when they're trying to tackle.  I'm hoping the 'bigger is better' philosophy works.  However, 'better talent is better' is more successful.  I think we've upgraded talent wise.  Can't wait to see if we're right.

Since Grigson took over the Colts have added guys like Hilton, Brazill, DHB, Landry, Toler, Fleener....it seems to me he has made a conscious effort to get more speed/athletic.

From OTA pics he looked kinda sloppy

[The Fish]

The only thing I got from this (I don't really care about this kind of thing anyway) is that Ballard is a bit bigger than Bradshaw.

I would have guessed other wise. Why is Bradshaw a lock as the primary back? 

[The Peytonator]

Hugh Thornton looks really good for a 330+ pound man.

Bradshaw is a proven, complete back.  As fast as Brown and as powerful as Ballard.  But he's not a lock as the primary back.  If he heals up by the start of the season, he'll probably start but the other two will most likely get nearly as many carries.

 

Bradshaw has an unquestioned history of bad feet.  The Colts will be smart with him and limit his carries.  Does it really matter who starts if everyone gets the same number of plays?  I don't think so.

It doesn't matter who starts, it's who finishes. So cliche' it almost hurt to type it, but I agree. I'd like to see Bradshaw with limited carries, playing on passing downs. He's a good blocker and there's some serious value there.

May be a cliche, but it's true.   The only think I'd add is that "it's who finishes...the season."  We can't have Ballard taking all the carries like he did at the end of the season last year.  We need backs that can make it to January without going on IR.

What, are we converting Mcafee to Interior Iinebacker now to? ;)   

 

Im not sure I would read alot into many of the players current weight to be honest, They have been off for 6 months, Not surprising some have gained significant weight, Not all players go above and beyond to stay in shape and even some that do can gain quite a bit of weight,

Blame it on the...

[jamesie jr]

Looks like there's a lot of bigger guys this year.

Montori Hughes at 6-4/335 could be an absolute animal at 3-4 DE. I really hope he stays with the program and gets developed properly. He could be a genuine force for years to come.

[Valpo2004]

Wasn't TY Hilton suppose to put on some muscle?  

[Superman]

Apologies.......     here is a MUCH easier to read list.....   The changes will be much more obvious!

Just curious, what are the differences based on?

Just curious, what are the differences based on?

Last years weight for each player Im assuming, I dont think this is a positive, Nobody can convince me that coaching staff told Robert Griffen to balloon up to 361lbs and Chapman 24lbs to 340

[Superman]

Last years weight for each player Im assuming, I dont think this is a positive, Nobody can convince me that coaching staff told Robert Griffen to balloon up to 361lbs and Chapman 24lbs to 340

For Chapman, 340 pounds isn't that big of a deal. Consider the weight of other nose tackles in the league. Especially with his conditioning work being somewhat limited over the past year due to his injury. I'm not worried about that. I would expect him to drop a good 5-10 of that during training camp.

But regarding the list, what prompted me to ask is that there are weight differences for even some of our new players, including rookies. Just wondering where NCF got the previous weights from.

[Andy]

Man, TY is getting tinnier and tinnier. 

[NewEra]

Yeah like super said I could see guys loose 5-10 pounds easy during training camp. Now 30 pounds of lard is another story. Also, gaining weight does not = getting slower. As long as its good weight and how you're training you can become faster and more explosive.

I just can't believe how small Hilton is. He even looks smaller than 179. Maybe cause he is a little taller than my vertically challenged self ;)

I could see the tackles losing some for quickness and the guards being beefy for the road grader roles.

[Gavin]

Ijalana  losing 15lbs is encouraging

[BrentMc11]

McAfee, Pat P 6-1 233 +13

Good point Gavin.  When July and August heat hits the bodies, some will shed pounds in exponential numbers.  

 

I do see Chapman and Tevaseu as getting wider and tougher to move.  As you have said before, McKinney may be history.  Tevaseu is a big boy.

 

I also heard that big Bob Griffin was actually showing some ability...361 or not. (Fatboy slim?)  I would love to see him and McAwful wrestle

 

       !!!!!

[coltsfanatic24]

Werner at 260 lbs is great, he'll be a step faster getting to the QB and also be effective dropping back in coverage.

[NewColtsFan]

On what was listed on the official roster as of a few weeks ago....

From the previous roster on Colts.com....

 

I take a fast glance at it about once a month or so....   sometimes more often than that depending on what's going on....

[BOTT]

Was Kavell Conner supposed to be a +2 as opposed to +12? I was thinking he was listed at 243 last year.

That's interesting. I guess they weighed everyone in at the minicamp and then updated the website. So the weights for the rookies in particular are basically updates from the combine or their pro days before the draft. Guys like Khaled Holmes and Hugh Thornton gaining significant weight in the last two or three months is interesting.

[NewColtsFan]

Yes....  Thanks!    A typo on my part...   Connor should be +2,  not +12.   <<DOH!!>>

Yes....   I noticed those too....     Not sure yet how I feel about it...?   Not sure if this is "off-season, they're not supposed to be in game shape just yet"   Or,  they've put on muscle at the direction of the staff and this is what they'll be playing at this coming year?

 

I think a question to the Craig Kelley mailbag is in order!

I figured they had dropped the weight to perform for the combine and have put it back on....which is not uncommon.

The weigh-ins for the combine and pro days are shortly after their seasons end. I think flying around the country and working out and running and all that stuff takes a toll on your body, making it harder for you to maintain muscle mass. It's almost like a nonstop season. Players usually drop weight from September to January just because of the physical demands. They workout, and they condition, and they eat, but most of them drop weight.

So after the pre-draft stuff is done, and they get back on their normal training routine (or a new routine, under the direction of the Colts staff), it makes sense that they'd put weight back on. Especially these guys who are bigger and play heavier than others, specifically Holmes and Thornton. Not that the team didn't want them to put on weight, but a potential drop and then gain doesn't really trouble me.

Different story for veteran guys with significant fluctuations, plus or minus. I don't know what Griffin has been doing, but I can't imagine anyone wanted to see him at 361. But even Lawrence Guy and Martin Tevaseu, it's not surprising that they'd pack on some weight after a long season. Twenty pounds is six months is not just muscle, I'm sure, but it does make sense that they'd rebuild some muscle once the season is done. And for those defensive linemen, that's not a problem.

Looks good on paper but that's the thing, it's on paper.

 

I wanna see all this size on the field come August putting in work
