I agree. CMC was injured more AFTER he bulked up.  Weight didn't help Cam or Corral.  I don't want him to do anything that might slow him down or reduce his slippery shiftiness. 

To be fair, Corral wasn't that heavy for his size when he got injured. It was just bad luck.

I can't believe Robbie Anderson doesn't get hurt often.  He is very skinny...

I chalk it up to what I saw an old wrestler from the 80s said in an interview once. Everybody has something the wrestler called a bump card, which means everyone can take only so many hits before the body fails and it's different for everyone.

I played Hockey and Football in High School. Played Softball until I was almost 50. Road dirt bikes until I was no longer allowed to. And I never got hurt. But I have very few friends my age that haven't had some sort of injury. So... From my sample size. You are likely to get some form of injury if you hang out with me.

 

I am of the mind that injuries happen. They strike without warning and without provocation. They afflict the good, as well as the evil. And when it's your time? Ain't nothing you can do to stop it. 

 

It's like the Flu. Some folks get it every year. Some folks every so often, and some folks never get it.

I thought that too when I saw some recent video of Bryce. He won't get taller but getting stronger and thicker will help him absorb punishment better.

If he can end up something like a Russell Wilson build he will be good to go.  Now Russ is naturally thicker than Bryce but I don’t think 215-220 is out of the question in 3 or 4 years

Yup. I managed to never have one single knee or ankle injury, sprain anything while playing sports heavily in HS and Division 1 in college. Then I tore my meniscus in my knee just squatting down to pick my kid up. poo just happens

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
