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.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.

      For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.

      3 straight losses for the Reds. They have their moments where they play well. But it’s time to be real. They aren’t a playoff team and will never be as long as the Castillinis own them and David Bell is manager.    De La Cruz is fun, but his career will be wasted on this team.

      Am I reading this correct?   You think Ballard’s seat gets hot if the Colts don't win the AFC South?  Really?   So if the Colts don’t win the south but make the playoffs Ballard’s seat still gets hot?    Just making sure I understand your viewpoint.

      Yes, yes he did. If you scroll back to old Pagano post you’ll see how much blame he got. I definitely hold Pagano is regards to letting Luck down on the offensive side of the ball. I also see the Houston Texans inevitably going down the same path.   D’joun Smith is who you’re thinking of.   Grigson is looked at as an overall bust and a terrible drafter so naturally the blame will be more widely accepted. There is no doubt things will be heating up under Ballards seat if anything less then winning the division is obtained this year. The QB position has been his Achilles heel. If Richardson is healthy this season I believe his roster will be very heavily evaluated with no excuses this year.
