DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Pure Football Forum Roster Update

Did anybody else notice that they updated the roster's heights and weights. Some pleasant suprises on there.

Wimbley is listed at 260 now, Jackson at 240, Vickers at 252, Harrison at 210, Washington at 375!!!, Quinn at 235, Sean Jones at 225, Roye at 330, Leon Williams is 250. I hope these guys can all play at those weights without getting hurt or losing some speed and quickness.

Im not suprised by Mt. Washington. Unless the players end up like david boston when his kness couldnt put up with his weight.

Wow, that's a 10 to 20 lb. gain for all those guys isn't it? Roye is humongous! I think he played at 307 two years ago.

glad to see DQ put on a few lbs. he needed a little more bulk. he played at what 228 or 230 last year?

Yeah, I definitely think that he played the whole time under 230. That's crazy about our DLine though. You can tell we're really focused on stopping the run.

I think I'll give Fraser's weight a look. I know he was always pretty light.

375? Ted's lost weight.

well, his reported weight last year was 360... so instead of 400, he's 415 now

On paper we have a very big team. Hopefully Jackson can play at 240 and not get overwhelmed like he did at times by guards last year. Our D-LIne is pumped at 330/375/320. That's 1025 lbs. in the front 3!!!

Thats cool, but I wonder if these will actually be these guy's playing weights. I see they listed Fraley at 315, They had him at like 295 last year and I remember Danielle saying that it wasnt very accurate.

Now I thought Orpheus was supposed to have lost about 20 lbs. and wanted to play lighter this year... In fact, I thought I read where he was down to around 307... Am I mistaken? Anyone else hear that?

Fraley was listed at 300 but I don't think he was ever under 320. He has lost weight acording to Danielle but I'm not sure how much.

They show Purcell is up to 285. That's 16 pounds since his pro day.

somethin is fishy

Oh boys...come now! Did the Easter Bunny give you those measurements?

Hey stalker, Purcell is Somoan, he doesn't need roids.

When my cousin told me Purcell was his wife's first cousin I all of a sudden started to root for him. He needs to add weight because he can't play any position other than line. That is unless you're EO and you think he can be a LB.

The weight that stuck out the most to me was Willie McGinest.

270? He's always been bigger, but ain't 270 getting to be a little big for a OLB? I swore he was 260-265 last year. Hopefully he drops down. Otherwise, I don't see him getting to the QB much. Might explain why he looked slow in mini camp.

Someone from the Browns was told to call all the players and get a update on thier weight, I can see it now, Ted whats your current weight, As Ted is standing in his kitchen with the fridge open, holding a plate of food and the phone, well looking down to see his toes and cant, 375 maybe, ok thanks Ted, Others are floating on a air materis in a pool having a drink, whats your current weight, 250-240, ok we'll say 245....I bet this is the heavest time of the year for these guys, training camp they will drop 10-15 pounds the first week.

Agreed about the weights. The big guys, especially the offensive linemen, have trouble keeping on the weight in training camp. But at about midseason they are in peak shape and at their ideal weight (which for a guy like D.Jackson is probably about 230 to 235 or so).

^and about McGinest, he was about 275 in New England but since he came here he's been listed at 268 and now 270. If he doesn't get that many sacks/pressures it's not b/c of his weight but rather his loss of quickness.
