not at that height and with that muscle mass...look at him...he's ripped and toned. he's just a big guy. big doesnt always equal fat and unhealthy.

What's his body fat ratio then? Even scouts and analyst say that he needs to lose some weight... people who've seen him in person and scouted him. All you're going by is a photo.

I can guarantee you Shaq looks bigger in person than in a picture... which can be said also about a lot of athletes.

I agree Chippy... big doesn't always equal fat and unhealthy. 6'4 374 pounds does.

At 373, some OG or Center is going to have to generate a lot of force to push him off the ball on a run play. If all he does is keep things from going up the middle or disrupting the blocking schemes, he'll be worth keeping in the rotation. He could be a swamp monster.

Hey, at 6'2" 330 you could say I was fat but i'm not......i'm just short for my weight! If I were 9' tall i'd be perfect!

Euphoria 05-01-2007 03:26 PM

Well some of the quotes I recall reading about him...

"um-moveable"

"you can't run at him, you can't"

Oh the possiblities here.

I suppose if he played college ball in MS then he won't drop dead in Jackson during two-a-days.

Sounds like a fridge bulb, intelligence-wise. Whatever, he's a DT. Certainly seems like someone worth bringing in to camp. If he turns out to be Jonathan Sullivan at least you didn't trade two first-rounders to move up to get him.

As the cable man would say..."Now, that is funny, right there!"

JoeSam, are you going to Jackson for training camp? If so, I'd like to speak with you...I am considering going for a week...cranking up the Harley and heading east!

Can you do a back flip? =]

He looks like the guy from Adam Sandler's version of "The Longest Yard." "He broke ed my nose coach!"

Hey, I don't care if he stuffs french fries up his nose, and eats em later, if he can grab Vick by the neck, and shake him around I say, let Shrek do his thing.

As far as the weight goes, if he works better with it, then leave it alone. Sometimes guys losing weight actually hurts their game, because they are not used to playing that light. If he's as thick in the head as you guys say he is, he might freak out, and think he's shrinking or something.

Let the boy eat! "Mongo likes candy!"
