It's near the bottom, he says he's in great shape but only 230??? No wonder Bill Parcells is pissed.

Put him at safety.

a guy like JT doesn't have to be heavy, he will be effective at any weight. just is an injury risk to be that low for him

At 230, you're not going to be able to move a guy like Jake Long. Maybe you can run around him.

Pretty much confirms he's off the d-line. 230 is in between Linebacker and Strong Safety. Pretty much Zach Thomas weight.

Great, he lost 25 lbs dancing around.. You know you can be athletic as ever but you still need some weight to be able to get SOME TYPE of push off left tackle... Looks like him being on DWTS is doing more harm than good for the fins ... I doubt he has any time to lift inbetween his ballarina classes...

So now he is going to have just a few months to get back to his 255

I don't think he was ever that weight, he was listed at 260 I know but secretly he was only 245

:sidelol:

Please start a Jason to safety thread.. oh man that would be classic!

I know Taylor is listed at 255 but he played last season at around 245. He has always had a problem with keeping on weight throughout his career.

I wonder if we're going to put him at linebacker... I think he'd be pretty good at rushing the QB and at 230 lbs., I'm also pretty sure that his speed and quickness are up.

Muscle has memory, 8-10 weeks of hitting the iron and he'll be back up to 245-250lb.

He's a profesional athlete for god sakes not some Cubical Jokey.

That makes it even worse...

On NFL.com hes listed at 255.

230 just is not where ANY DL should be at and and 230 is still even a little light for linebacker.. especially when its very common for runningbacks to be around that weight at 220 225

As for Taylor's conditioning, I'm told he's around 230 pounds, and is in great shape.

I'm wondering if Omar is going off the comments of one of the judges during the parody skit they were doing?

I wasnt aware of this

He caught a couple passes last year... maybe he's moving to TE. :)

At 230, I bet he runs a 4.3 - 40-yard-dash.
