Jeff Saturday Living Healthy


James Harden

Recommended Posts

This news is pretty old but just want to lighten up the mood. Jeff Saturday is an all time great center(unlike the ones we currently have) and we all know what he used to look like. Now He have lost over 50 pounds and look like a bean stick. Maybe its go to show you how hard it is to play offensive linemen while having to maintain a determine weight. Mostly you see ex-NFL players gain weight after their playing days are over.(Example: Jamarcus Russell). Its good to see that one of my favorite players is having a healthy lifestyle and is living great life after his NFL career.

It's pretty remarkable how much weight he lost, and how quickly he did it.  Good job Jeff!  When I first saw him on the sideline earlier this season, I mistook him for Will Wheaton.

 

Wow, he looks way different! Much healthier to get the weight off then turn into a tubby.

Matt Birk?

 

OK Jeff...you are my size now...I will now pick on you!!!   :)  NOT......love ya Jeff!!!   :)

Offensive linemen usually eat around 8,000-12,000 calories. They can do that since can burn it off easily. Some players after they are retired, still eat the same diet but do not workout so they become unfit and tubby haha. Glad that Jeff change his diet.

Great that he is losing weight, but Jeff as a center wasn't all that good. He was good, but not great. It was Peyton that made our offensive line look so good for years. Tarik Glenn if we're talking about great was our best offensive lineman. After he left then things went downhill.

you are being kind. He was awful and routinely got dominated. How anyone ever thought he was remotely good boggles my mind. Green Bay discovered how bad Jeff was.

Green Bay was the end of the line Dung Britches.  Jeff Saturday was an undrafted FA out of North Carolina who if I recall was rated the 11th best center in his draft in 1998.

 

I remember when we got him he looked chubby, slow, and if we were on a forum then we would have said he was 'camp fodder.'  Jeff Saturday and coaching made Saturday a very good NFL center.....in no way, shape or form was he awful.  I loved Howard Mudd!!!

 

Jeff has 6 Pro- Bowls to his credit, and was First Team All Pro twice.  Saturday did have some trouble with the BIG Nose Tackles and DTs, but he had his share of 'knockdown blocks.'  Ask Vince Wilfork.  To say he was awful is absolutely WRONG.   :blueshoe:  :blueshoe:  :blueshoe: !!

    • Pass rush.     That is the key.  Control the line.  Make him make plays.  Make him uncomfortable.  Hey, if he Stroud beats us with his talent and we’re making him complete these great plays, then chalk it up to the game.  But we can’t allow him (and any other qb) to be comfortable and pick us apart.     I hope we see our front 4 provide that pressure because that will make everything else much easier.  I honestly believe we have the corners for our scheme in Moore, Brents, and jones.  But we don’t have the pressure.  Or the FS unfortunately.  Our corners jobs in this scheme isn’t to run step for step with wide receivers.  It’s to stick with them and prevent YAC.  Moore is the best nickel in the game, Jones was one of the best corners PERIOD in preventing YAC, and I think a healthy Brents will be good too.
    • Agreed.  After this last off season, I kind of give Ballard a pass on taking long to find a certified DE (if Latu pans out).  Like QBs, they don’t grow on trees.  You either have to draft one high, get lucky with one in the draft, or sign one in FA for loads of cash.  All I can ask for him as GM to do is try.  He hasn’t been perfect by any means but at least he’s tried with the DE position specifically.   i also think Shane being here has changed his thinking.  Before, Ballard might’ve went with Turner due to the higher upside.  But maybe Shane differs and wants proven players.     Either way, I’m glad we possibly have our stud at a premium position for the next 5 years at a cheap rate.     And gotta thank the Falcons for us landing Latu.  Lol
    • Sure, but I know you're smart enough to get the gist of this post - a potent offense is more important than a good defense.     Today's NFL favors the O in the rule book and encourages scoring.  D's have to hang in there and most play it safe.   Of course, it's simple, of course it's not easy to have an elite O, and of course it doesn't always lead to wins.  But, in my opinion, it's the way a GM should build a team.  (Yes, I know about the Manning years.  That's another conversation)
