Anyone Else Concerned about Wilfork's Weight?

he is supposed to be huge.....




He looks damn good on the field

Gilbert Brown comes to mind.

Bingo. He used to get winded jogging off the field on 3rd down.

How long do you expect him to be the same player at that weight?

 

[Patjew]

I care about him getting too big because I worry about the strain on his heart.

Not to mention diabetes.

Not to mention diabetes.

And man boobs.

I am concerned. He is morbidly obese and that does not say much for his long-term future. This is unfortunate because he seems like a really good guy that has a wonderful family who cares more about Vince as a father, husband etc. than as a football player.

Put down the junk food America! Obesity is ravaging our great country.

4-5 years if he stays loyal to the weight room.

I wonder if Wilfork could out-eat Man vs Food guy.

those man boobs you speak of could just about lift close to 500lbs


500 is probably an understatement\

his max is prolly 1200 or 1000

Bingo. He used to get winded jogging off the field on 3rd down.

But he was a quick, agile bastard for weighing 370 pounds or whatever it was that he weighed.

Vince could out eat a restaurant buffet crowd

I like Vince but he is definetly out of shape.The guy got a nice contract and he should be in better shape.

When I look at the g-men lineman, we look small compared. Keep eating Vince.:eat1:

I don't like to preach about nutrition and fitness (we are all adults) but let me just say buy a pedometer right now and then make sure you are walking 6-9 miles a week.

Just a mile a day.

Why do people think nose tackles should eat like fashion models? No one is familiar with the nose tackles job?

If Wilfork wasn't in good enough shape to play the nose, why would he also be our most effective end, a position that requires more mobility?

Maybe look up nose tackle on wikipedia.

Wilfork passed the conditioning drills in preseason.

That's all that matters to the team.

Maybe some of our fans need liposuction on their heads

 

[JackBauer]

I'm not any concerned about him now than I was last year.

I'd say, like others have mentioned, my concern is more for his long-term health than his current ability. Aside from being a Hurricane, he seems like a great guy off the field and I'd hate to see his life cut short from carrying so much weight during his professional years.

 

[WhoaDirty]

I know the weight is bad for knees and back, etc but can a person not be that heavy and still be in shape from a cardiovascular stand point? If he is eating enough *healthy* calories a day to maintain his weight, would his health still be an issue?

These are hypotheticals of course, just because I am curious. The reality is a lot of these big guys probably don't eat that many calories without eating bad fats and lots of sugars.

For Vince the Patriot: It's between you and BB.

For Vince the human being: Dude, lose some weight so you have a better chance of spending time with your grandchildren. That's what's important here.

 

[Kontradiction]

And man boobs.

Indeed. Moobs should be the primary concern here. Here's how I would rank them if I were to do it by level of concern...

1. Moobs
2. Heart
3. Diabetes
