something I don't know about??????????? You arrogant snotty little punk. I was playing Division 1 basketball when you were not even the beginning of an idea in your daddy's mind. You think because you've spent a few months in a gym that YOU are now the "KNOWER OF THINGS" ? For your edification, I have been playing football, watching football, writing about football and been a die hard Patriots fans since 1961.I GO to the camps every year and I SEE the players up close. YOU log on here and start screaming in gibberish that YOU know Patriot players like Jones and Hightower are fat and out of shape. YOU are a NUTBAG.Maybe somebody will drop a 50 pound dumb bell on your head to make a matched set.
First off joke thank for the compliments. Seriously I'm not being funny those were compliments. First off I never said being at optimum muscle/fat ratios and optimum flexibility were the only key to being an NFL pro bowler. You have to have the talent to be a player first. Then every player should want to optimize his ability. If losing 15 lbs of fat and adding 10-15 lbs of muscle could take a player to the next level what the H#$L is wrong with that. Why would that insult you so much.Why would ANYBODY take such offense to that. Just saying a player can improve with some minor tweaks and I suddenly seemed to have called them fat losers. Is there anything wrong with hoping patriot players take the next step as elite players. This is a passing league also featuring qbs with wr speed and and all the elite lbs have plenty of speed. Maybe you're very old school where nobody thought about gaining 20 lbs of muscle while minimizing fat. And Matt Millen style lbs were coveted. But this is 2014 where bigger faster stronger more athletic prevail and PEDs are rampant. Ask any player if leaning out while adding muscle and power helped. Just cuz Gholston was a bust it means optimizing muscle and power while leaning out isn't an advantage? If you noticed I said you have to be an NFL talent first THEN adding muscle and losing fat maximizes your ability and gives you an edge over players who haven't.
Take 2 DE's of similar football ability. Both 6'4 with similar frame and ability. One player goes the extra mile with nutrition,training,and flexibility training to decrease fat while maximizing muscle/power and flexibility. He is 6'4 265 lbs with 6-7% body fat while his twin brother is 6'4 270 lbs at 10-12% body fat. The leaner dude is going to be much more powerful and explosive while being much quicker. Jones at 265 with 6-7% is at a whole new level than he is at 265-270 at 10-11%
Why did that anger you. Its true if you look around the NFL most of the elite passrushers and lbs look a Lil stronger more athletic than Jones mayo and hightower. It just means they have more potential which is a GOOD thing dude. Why did you get so offended like I put your wife/kids/religion down. Its just football its not religion dude.
