Not really criticizing, just observing
As I said in my previous post, I hope Manny will lose weight and shape up, for the good of the team and himself. I'm just afraid he doesn't have the drive, discipline and heart to do it. I say this because of what we all have seen from him the past two years.
At Saturday's mini-camp, he really stood out from the crowd of players because when they bent over to touch their toes, he was the only one whose front jersey number you could still read. He could not hardly bend over at all and seemed to be having trouble even getting to the ground and back up.
This young man has the opportunity of a lifetime and I would hate to see him blow it, for a couple of reasons. One, if he does shape up and get tough and get his head right, he will be a great asset to his team. Secondly, I don't know him at all, but it would be a shame for him to get cut or quit (like he tried to do last year) because I doubt if any other team would want him and what other skills or training does he really have? I ask that because I truly don't know, but I doubt if he could find employment that would pay him like being in the NFL. This is, of course, just my two-cent's worth.
