According to George Bremmer Adongo added over 20lbs of muscle without losing his speed.

Do you think they'll have him play DE in the 4-3?

I understand that his size and speed doesn't necessarily translate to being a football player, but I can't wait to see how this guy plays.

Thats 25 pounds according to what his listed weight is on Colts.com of 257lbs....I still have a hard time believing that coaching staff told him to add that much weight, I also have a harder time believing that all that weight added is muscle in such a short amount of time....5 months.....25lbs of muscle?

6-5 282 lbs and not losing speed....he has sickening athletic ability.

 

I do seem to remember last year when he got to play a little against Cincinnati, that he was a pretty good blocker on special teams.

 

If anything, he could be a monster on special teams. He has the size and speed to destroy people.

 

With another offseason where he will actually be able to actively participate instead of standing and watching, it will be a huge help for him.

 

Hope it works out because the potential is surely there.

5 pounds a month is easy with the proper food and lifting routine. They have access to professional help in all those areas. With very minimal fat. Some fat is not bad. He will also lose some when they hit training camp.

Not only that, but these guys are physical freaks.  They have a far easier time gaining or losing weight compared to the rest of us.  For an NFL player, 25 lbs of muscle isn't unrealistic in 5 months, in my opinion

Even the so-called little guys are freaks 21.

Yeah, especially at their age. Lot harder when you're pushing 40! I've put on 43 pounds of muscle in little over a year. But I've been lifting off and on since I was 20.

      How to Beat the Texans (and every other team)

      By RollerColt · Posted

      And when/if a team signs one of those safeties they’ll be made to look like a genius while Ballard is called a fool.    I think what’s more likely is that an injury will inevitably happen and a team will bring in an available free agent. That could be training camp. That could early in the season. You just never know.

      But if the Colts sign someone next week or the week after then it really doesn’t matter.    I would’ve preferred we sign some two weeks ago.   Get them familiar with the DC and position coach.   But once we didn’t then it really doesn’t matter when.  It just matters that we do it before camp opens.  At least to me.    And the fact no one else is signing these top FA safeties tells me the market just isn’t there yet.   I’m preaching a healthy dose of patients.

      How about getting a proven commodity in the FA market? I know that assumes the player wants to be here, but money talks and the Colts have some. This D needs a solid center fielder. Simmons fits that role perfectly. If he’s gettable, here’s to Ballard pulling the trigger, even if it’s a slight overpay. The team CANNOT leave this crucial position to players who have consistently underperformed in the past (Cross and Thomas).

      All - this is the real question.   What do the 32 GMs in the league know that the rest of us (we're on the outside looking in) don't know?   Answer that question and you'll have what you need to analyze the choices made by the leadership of your favorite team.

      We have the weak secondary where a player in FA can be signed for a year and get a starting job. We also have the money to afford any of them. Not too many other teams have that combination of both factors right now. Also, the draft recently happened and I'm guessing a lot of these teams want to try out their early round picks in the secondary right now. We didn't draft anyone in the secondary until the 5th round. We are somewhat desperate (not to mention Daniel Scott is out for the year again). Other teams are not at the moment.
