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: !!

      Okay, I know this is a Mr. Obvious post, but bear with me.  What else do you have to do during the dead season, lol?   As a Buckeye, I appreciate how good CJ Stroud is.  In MHO CJ had better WRs and RBs when he was at THE OSU than he has in Houston.   So how did TTUN beat us (bad) two years in a row when he was in Columbus?  Simple, their Offense was way better than our Defense.   Bottom line - the Colts D doesn't have to be great.  Average will be good enough - IF the Colts offense is as good as we think it could be and play ball control, has extended drives, and limits the other teams possessions.  And maybe that's the plan considering Ballard not being too concerned with improving the DB rooms.   (Sure, it would be nice to have a great D.  No argument there)

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      Hey Everyone,   So, I just caught wind of Goodson's apology letter after dropping that short pass from Minshew against the Texans last season. Here's my humorous take on the situation:   "Dear Fans, Coaches, Teammates, and Supporters,   I'm writing to apologize for buttering up that short pass in the most critical moment against the Texans. Look, I know I'm the backup running back, but hey, I'm usually good for catching those short throws - emphasis on 'usually'. My bad for turning a routine play into a blooper reel moment.   To my teammates, sorry for making you wonder if I was secretly playing for the other team. Next time, I'll practice catching more than just footballs thrown by the water boy.   To the coaches, maybe let's reconsider throwing short passes to guys who have hands that are more slippery than a greased pig at the county fair. Just a suggestion.   And to the fans, thanks for turning my drop into a meme. I promise to work on my catching skills so I can make highlights, not lowlights, next season.   Sincerely, Goodson (aka the running back who should stick to running)"   Okay, maybe I exaggerated a bit, but you get the gist. Let's hope Goodson has been hitting those catching drills hard this offseason!
