I'd have said the same thing. That makes us both brilliant, right?
Seriously, Williams and Rivers are both kids and could put on 15-20 lbs. of muscle in a pro weight room. Marshawn Lynch played at 215. Not that these guys would ever be another Beastmode, but maybe Baby Beasts.
Lynch had incredible upper leg strength - could step out of tackles, run from a wide stance and make a cut by firing one thigh, and continue to churn his legs when seemingly stopped - and surprise announcxers when he simply took off for more yards.
Thigh strength and explosion off the thighs can be developed by trainers. Larry Fitzgerald, about four years into his career, had thigh strength and explosion rarely seen in a wideout - and he developed it with the Cardinal's training staff.
I don't think teams want to spend the time it takes to add that much weight anymore. It's a win now league and if you aren't ready to go, someone else is.
I also don't think a lot of players want to add too much more weight. Tutu is a good example. He mentioned in an article last off season how he didn't want to add weight and sure enough...he really hasn't added much if any at all.
There is no desire to develop and build players anymore by teams. It's kind of a shame really because it would really help some players.
#HelmetHornsMatter
“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.
“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
