EDIT NOTE:    PLEASE USE THIS VERSION....   THE SYSTEM APPEARS TO HAVE ACCEPTED IT IN A MUCH CLEANER, EASIER TO READ FORMAT.     THANKS!

 

 

This is my annual look at the team's updated roster....   so we can see who has gained weight, and who has lost some and what do we think (if anything) of these developments.....

 

This is done each year right after the team's mandatory mini-camp and as the team takes their 7-week summer break.....

Glad to see Chapman drop a little weight, I was hoping he would have dropped 15-20lbs but that was probably unrealistic of me to hope for that.

 

Was hoping Kerr dropped about 10-20lbs.

 

Also glad to see Adongo lose 18lbs

 

Glad to see Jones dropped 17lbs

 

Was hoping Montori would drop 15-20lbs

 

Also glad to see Thornton dropped 12lbs

[ColtsLegacy]

Wow, Junior Sylvestre adding 20 lbs is a pleasant surprise. He was an extremely athletic 220 in college and a lot I read on him said he may have maxed out his frame. If he's kept the athleticism with the added weight he could be a sleeper at LB.

Also, nice to see Hilton is getting * diesel.

Also, also, didn't Adongo add like 15 lbs last offseason?

[akcolt]

Good to see Jones drop some weight and give it to Quarles. I think Quarles is going to turn some heads when preseason games get here.

[SteelCityColt]

This is a weighty topic...

 

64 Hoover, Tyler           T 6-7   321   25    1   Michigan State                             +24 - He's certainly living up to his 2nd name when it comes to food lately then

[Lawrence Owen]

Anderson adding 6 lbs is a good sign.  Hope it is muscle though.  Jones dropping 17 might allow him to have some more wind, and stay on the field longer.

[Coffeedrinker]

U. John being up to 311 could be a good thing.  But it may be another year before he is used to his new weight.

[krunk]

Sylvestre is a thumper and he's got really good speed to run with tight ends and running backs out of the backfield.  I'll be interested to see if he can unseat Mwamba. At the very least I'm confident he'll make the practice squad.

Nice to see Art Jones slim down a little. We need that quickness

[Valpo2004]

The two that stood out to me where Art Jones dropping some weight and Ulrick John beefing up a bit.  

 

I believe it was said that he needed to put some weight on in order to be a legit NFL tackle.  Well he's put the weight on.  Hopefully it's muscle.  Now hopefully we'll get to see if this guy can play or not.

[krunk]

I see Zach Hodges put on 11lbs. Went from 235 to 246lbs.

[krunk]

Looks to me like Parry has added about 10lbs.  Now he's at 310

[CanuckColt]

Really great to see Jones dropping 17 lbs...now if he can only keep it off during the 7 weeks to Training Camp...could be tough...at least he won't report at 350+ this year.

[Defjamz26]

Depending on how they play Anderson he may need another 10-15 pounds. 300 is light for a base 3-4 DE. But Stanford lineman are always light but they're quicker. Parry is a smaller guy so In okay with him at 310.

Clayton Geathers could start at SS. He's already at 220 which is ideal. Plus he's been turning heads at camp and OTAs from the stories I've heard.

I would like to see Quarles heavier though. 312 isn't good enough for him IMO. 325 is more suitable given his skill set.

[CanuckColt]

It would be nice to see Good peal off 15-20 pounds of blubber...340 is a bit heavy for a Tackle.

[Lawrence Owen]

Have you seen Goode?....That is not all fat..he is a Massive guy...lol, he his built like a truck. is why he was drafted i think, because of that size he run blocks like a State plow truck...lol

[NewColtsFan]

Looks to me like Parry has added about 10lbs.  Now he's at 310

 

Parry was 308 at the combine.    I suspect he's only put on 2 pounds.

Geathers weighed in at 215.     I think Quarles at 312 is completely fine.   He's not playing the Nose.   325 is not needed to playing on the flank of the nose.    Gaining 16 pounds in one year is good weight.    I suspect Anderson is pretty close to maxing out.   He tried higher weight at Stanford and didn't always like it.

 

And I was surprised, but pleased to see that Langford actually lost 8 pounds from 313 to 305....

 

In a e-mail to Kevin Bowen of Colts.com he responded that we'd see a new approach to weight....  and I think we're seeing it....    a little smaller than the past few years is better....

[akcolt]

I agree with Sylvestre, I think there are a couple of guys that could send Muamba down the road.  I wasn't that impressed last preseason. He seemed a step slow to me could just be transition from the CFL. It will be interesting to see what he looks like this year. There should be some good battles in camp.

Those 2 stood out to me, along with Adongo, Lankford, Hoover, Quarles and Langford.

 

While Lankford is a longshot to make the team, he is a blazer and I thought he might have some potential to be a return man, but was worried about his size.  If he can keep him speed and quickness with 13 pounds on his frame, I won't be shocked to see him turn a lot of heads come training camp.  With AJ, TY, Dorsett, Moncrief and Carter (and I guess Whalen), it will be tough to make the team as a WR, but we did bring Cribbs on last year just to be a return man, so I'm interested to see what happens with Lankford.

 

Adongo gained a lot of weight in his first year.  Not saying that is the reason for his injury, but it can be tough to stay healthy adding that much weight in such little time.  I'm kind of glad he is down a bit.  I have no clue what to expect from him this year -- a year off last year to learn the game more and get healthy might have done him very well.  He is a physical freak, who is only about 2 years into knowing the game of football.  I think he's doubtful to make the 53, but find his loss encouraging.

 

Quarles weight gain is good, I think. 

 

Hoover is a guy I had as an outside shot to make the 53 last year before we converted him to OL.  I think the kid is a hard worker with NFL potential, so hopefully he can hold that weight and play at it -- I could see him being a backup at G and T.

 

Langford sounds like he's been turning heads so far -- I thought he was a good talent in St. Louis and the loss of 8 lbs might make him more of a pass rush threat, which would be great for our DL.

After that first good game Mwamba had against the Jets in preseason I wasn't all that impressed with any of the other games beyond that one.  We'll see what he does in 2015, but I'm hoping Sylvestre beats him out.

[RockThatBlue]

I'm very pleased more than anything to see that Art Jones dropped weight. If anybody needed to drop weight badly it was definitely him.

[CanuckColt]

Have you seen Goode?....That is not all fat..he is a Massive guy...lol, he his built like a truck. is why he was drafted i think, because of that size he run blocks like a State plow truck...lol

If they plan to use him at Guard, then he is probably OK...but if they plan to try him at Tackle he needs all the agility he can get, hence drop a few pounds.

[Ja'Crispy]

Great Weight Watch 2015

[NewEra]

4-5 pound weight shifts are nothing. You can gain 4-5 pounds in a day with water and food alone. Also depending on time of day when you weight yourself also. I do like the added weight though as long as it's solid. But I wouldn't sacrifice speed and explosiveness for weight. Have to find that sweet spot.

[throwing BBZ]

I still laugh at Mathis being listed at 6'2....

 

It is truly humorous that is what he measured at his pro day.

[rock8591]

Good news to hear - - -

 

Arthur Jones back to his natural playing weight of 315-320 or so

Hugh Thornton slims down to 325 or so

Chapman getting down to 335 isn't saying a whole lot just yet...

Langford down to 305

300 not light at all for a 3-4 DE, it's pretty much the average. Justin Smith and Cameron Jordan are both around 285 and 287.

 

We can say "they play a 1-gap 3-4", but teams that play a 2-gap defense have players that are very similar.

 

e.g. Fletcher Cox - 6'4'' 300

Cedric Thornton - 6'4'' 309

Cameron Hayward - 6'5'' 288

Darnell Dockett - 6'4'' 290

Ray McDonald - 6'3'' 290

Corey Liuget - 6'2'' 300

Arthur Jones - 6'3'' 320

Akiem Hicks - 6'5'' 324

Sheldon Richardson - 6'3'' 294

Muhammed Wilkerson - 6'4'' 315

Mike Daniels - 6'0'' 305

Calais Campbell - 6'8'' 300

JJ Watt - 6'5'' 289

 

 

 

Nobody's gonna look at Henry Anderson's 6'6'' 300 lbs, with their gut reaction being "he's undersized".

Wow. I had no idea. Thanks for the info though. I guess because Cory Redding always played at 320+, I figured that's how it would be for most ends.

[bestQBever]

Jones is gonna be a beast. Thank god he lost that weight. There's a difference between being big and being fat.

Problem is your list combines 1-gap and 2-gap 3-4 DEs and the prototype for each is not the same.  That's why you see several guys on your list in that 280-300 range (1-gap guys) and others in the 300-320 range (2-gap guys).

[Jhaze55]

Thornton lost a few. Maybe he'll stay more conditioned? It seems as games went on last season he got more and more tired.

[Superman]

Coffeedrinker also thinks Thornton's problem is conditioning. Hopefully as the guys get more and more conditioned during camp, Thornton, Jones, Hughes, Chapman, Kerr and all these other big guys will be able to play even better up front. 

[BleedBlu8792]

I've been next to Mathis a couple times, and I'm 6'3. 6'0 is about the tallest I would put him at.
