Thank you phun... I was about to say the same thing.phunwin said:Hey guys, the college football forum is elsewhere. Talk OSU-UGa smack there.
You explained it very well. I would like to add the Bostons body frame can only maintain a certain amount of stress from the extra weight of all that muscel. Sure bone density besomes higher with free wieghts. However, the bone will reach a maxium density. There in becoming a problem in getting to big not just for his postion, but to big for his body to maitain. Which will lead to all kinds of injuries.phunwin said:I don't think anyone has problems with his speed or explosion. He can probably be very effective at 240, though dropping another 10 pounds would probably make him a little faster. The problem comes from a bigger risk of injury. In this, his speed is a double-edged sword: 240 pound bodies just aren't built to run as fast as he does, so it creates a great deal of stress on his knees and ankles. To his credit, Boston played as high as 257 last year, so the progress he's made so far in the name of being healthier has been good.
This is the same problem that Fred Taylor had for a long time; he was making cuts and runs that you generally can't do at 230 pounds, and it caused him some problems. He was, in effect, too fast for his own good.
