Mount Cody..2nd rounder?

CantonLegend · 03-13-2010, 12:50 PM

cody shouldnt have weight questions......he dropped 15 lbs in 30 days to trim back to a 354.......

in the NFL he will play at or just under 350

like you said, our biggest problem was stopping the run last year and that is what cody is best at....not to mention he could occupy blockers and allow us to blitz by those blockers

if anybody watched him this season then you know there are no injury concerns......there are no conditioning concerns.....the only question is weight......but why? because he showed up 20 lbs heavier to a meaningless game that he was invited to

then at the more important even he showed up at playing weight when he was 354 at the combine......there were no weight concerns before or during the season.....the only time that came up was after the season was over

but he didnt pull an andre smith and show up at the combine overweight, he learned his lesson and dropped back down

whoever thinks his weight is a problem absolutely ignores the truth about terrence cody. that truth is that he is a big guy and is going to help some team in the league.......do we want it to be us?

i say yes

just heard cody weighs 348 lbs at alabama's pro day

said he wants to weigh 340 by the draft date

said he is working very hard to stay in shape and is constantly conditioning

he realizes this is his job and hes going to have to stay in shape in order to play it

O good, Canton has fixated on one prospect again.

The guy is a big clog in the middle, sure I'll admit that. But I have waaaaaaayyyyyy too many concerns about his "giant fat ass-edness" for me to feel comfortable drafting him in the first round. Obviously he's going to be motivated to drop weight now, but after he gets his millions, these types of fat slobs tend to let their weight balloon. That's not always the case, and maybe Cody will be different, but he did play well upwards of 350 this past season, so he's shown that he doesn't always control his weight. That's not a great sign for the future.

Plus, if you watched him this past season, you would have seen him constantly jogging on and off the field. Terrible conditioning. He usually could play a max of two plays in a row before he needed a breather.

i like watching college players with exceptional skill at the positions that i enjoy watching......alex mack was one last year......terrence cody and gerald mccoy were 2 this year that i liked watching.....and id rather have brandon graham than either of them but he will be gone in the teens of the first round

mount cody might be available when we pick.....and the reason most players fall out of the first round is because they have questions that need to be answered......cody is one of many prospects who has 1st round talent but has a question mark on his name because of his weight at the senior bowl

before that and since then he has done everything in his power to prove that he is worthy of being considered in the first round.....1 week of his college career shouldnt turn you off of this incredible prospect

conditioning is all relative......he is 1 guy and nearly every play he has to beat up 2 guys or gets beat up by 2 guys.....EVERY SINGLE PLAY he is a 1 man beast against 2 guys

now i know most of you have never played offensive line or even thought about watching the offensive line, but having 2 300 lb guys beat you up for 10 seconds every play while you are trying to beat them up too isnt easy....no matter how big and strong you are

Good post. I play bot O and D-line myself and I know exactly what you mean when talking about the double team and fighting it. I'm still a little worried about his shape. I've played with guys that was 320lbs that didn't have a lot of flab on them, Cody however seem to have way to much of it. He would be a great clog in the middle however freeing up Ellis a lot more.

Loosing 15lbs doesn't have to be hard. I friend of mine just lost 12lbs in two week just by changing his diet and starting to exercise. Doesn't have to be any illegal substances involved in Cody's weigh loss.

Maybe we can pay him with cheeseburgers and gumbo and save some room under the cap.

When you weigh 369 lbs, dropping 15 pounds is not that big of a deal. He could've easily lost 15 lbs in water weight inside a sauna the day before the weigh-in.

.. and there has to be a better term that "trim back" when you are 350+ lbs

.. that said, if he weighs 350 lbs, he needs only to stand in the middle of the field or fall on top of the guard..

you guys have this misconception that its easier for people to lose weight just because they have more of it.....15 lbs is 15 lbs regardless of how heavy you are

and take into account that the dude is much bigger, so everything he does takes that much more energy.

regardless, if its that easy to lose weight, then he can do it easily and stay at that weight for the entire season without having any issue right?

there are players in the league that weigh 350+ lbs and start and are good and have a consistant impact on plays

in fact, its harder to find a guy that heavy that doesnt start or have some sort of impact on the game

No one is saying it is easier, but not all 15 lbs are created equal

Ever heard the term "cut weight"? That's what fighters do, and more often than not includes dehydrating themselves a day before the weigh-in to shed 5-10 lbs of water to make the weight for the fight.

You also have to consider the size of the individual. Losing 15 lbs where you are 364 lbs is not the same as losing 15 lbs when you are say 200 lbs: the percentage of water+fat+muscle mass loss would be much higher in a person who weighs less.

In any case, I wouldn't mind seeing Cody in B&G with the 32nd pick. One minicap with the Saints and he'll be either dead or a svelte 300 lbs

Ephedra or Adderall? Already had one that got busted last year!

But if he can make a good enough case......
