A lot of linemen on both sides of the ball slim down a lot after they retire. During their careers, they try to put on weight. After they retire, there is no need.

I take back everything I ever said about you. You are my new favorite poster
My last post notwithstanding, I was really pissed at the time that we didn't take him.
Great depth at linebacker! It needs to be celebrated!
I can't prove it but this was intentional on BB's part. I love it. So does Lamar.
I agree, I don't think this invalidates the basic point that people would have been upset that the draft did not add immediate value to TB12s team.
After forcing the trade of JG, RK would have been angry about not positioning the team in the short term. My recollection is that they did some solid evaluation, but stopped short of a robust consideration.
No doubt Harbaugh make BBs s-list with all the whining illegal formations, etc.. This is a superior FU from the master.
Sure HT was slow but he still brought a lot of know how to the field and leadership to the locker room. And with Jackson they lost talent they did not replace. I did not expect the D to be competitive but I have been pleasantly surprised. And I expect improvement as well. I’m not expecting a division title but the possibilities are better than I had envisioned.

After a few games the defense looks solid to me, answering questions at CB and the line. My concern is at LB, Wilson is playing better than expected and Bentley has been fine, but McMillan hasn't looked good when he was in and now is hurt, and Mcgrone doesn't look like he's ready to help yet.
Passing Offenes Will Be interesting
