They honestly don't care every much as long as it doesn't impact them in drills. I remember during the mora jr era in Atlanta his entire offensive staff was convinced no offensive linemen could be over x weight and would put weight loss performance clauses into their contracts.it was nuts. 

For a more local example do you think anyone is going to mine Tolbert and telling him to cut?

Right, but maybe the staff felt like the extra weight CAP was carrying was negatively impacting his performance in terms of how they want to use him. NFL teams do this all the time with guys. This guy needs to add 10, this guy needs to drop 15.  It's not uncommon at all, especially for young players. 

Tolbert is a vet who plays a very specific role for us. For that role, he's just fine where he's at. If we wanted him to be an every down back, you better believe the staff would have him drop weight. Probably 30 pounds.

None of those guys are power backs, aside from Rawls maybe, which is an important part of our offense.  From hearing the coaches talk about CAP in the past, they envisioned him being the other power back.  He looked the part as well.  Maybe that has changed, but I'm not saying he can't be an NFL back at 210, or under.  That wasn't the point.

I disagree with regard to at least Booker (in college), Charles, Freeman, and Rawls, who were all running backs used heavily between the tackles.

he def had a lil bit of a belly for a young running back, looked like he could shed 15 of just fat

I understand they run between the tackles, but that doesn't make them power backs.  Most of those guys probably have fairly low yards after contact.  Their success comes from screaming through the hole, and hitting the 2nd level before contact is made.  Like I said, Rawls seems like more of a power back, but 215 isn't bad.  I think that's about where Lynch was.  Typical power backs average around the 220ish mark.  Peterson, Gurley, Martin, Ivory, Stewart, etc.  Again, maybe they don't see CAP in that role anymore.  I just thought it would make for good off season discussion.

CAP isn't a power back either.

They talked him up in that role, and his build fit it.  Like I said, maybe that opinion has changed.

Watching him last year it looked like he needed more time in the NFL weight room to be a power runner.   Which isn't rare for young RB.  

Stewart was a rare find IMO.  He had a great base and legs and had it from day 1.  That aspect of him IMO is greatly underrated league wide (the fact he hasn't been healthy every year obvious has a lot to do with him not getting recognized for it )
