Rod Marinelli told him to lose 20 pounds because he was a good football player in danger of eating himself out of the league... so Woods did it. Were our boys not vegan at that time?

He needed to be bigger here bc of the scheme we play anyway. But he’s a one gap player. Good for him though for slimming down and playing well in that vanilla Tampa 2 scheme that he’s good in. Pees said our DL is the smallest he’s ever had btw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I thought our DL was the smallest Pees has worked with also. Pees is used to guys 340 and ours are 315-320, excluding Casey. His OLBs are big too. tgo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These coaching transitions are tough: our new Offensive Coordinator prefers a zone blocking scheme so our power blocking O-line has to learn zone blocking. Our new Defensive Coordinator prefers a behemoth DL and we offer him the smallest he's ever had. No wonder the Cowboys stuck with Tom Landry for so long!! tgo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodyard and Casey were icipating but Casey said he just eats a few vegan meals per week... so it’s a normal omnivore diet. Woodyard said he still eats bacon and cheese a lot. Morgan is the only true vegan left I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Face Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 12 hours ago, tgo said: @Jonboy I loved Antwaun Woods when he was here, and I remember @Face and I wanted to see him starting. But the issue is that he's best suited as a one gap player and while a very solid player, was simply not a fit for what LeBeau or Pees do with their two-gapping DL systems. He's in a great defense for him in Dallas. Yeah he was definitely a better fit in Dallas. That said he was screwed over pretty bad here. In 2016 he clearly earned a spot & outplayed Austin Johnson by a good margin. And last year was even more obvious. He beat out Sly Williams for the starting NT spot, he started the 1st preseason game. Mularkey raved about how he worked out with Casey all offseason& looked great. He actually raved about him both years. Now, I'm realistic. The best guys don't always play in the real world as long as there's drafts & contracts. So I get cutting him as a rookie. But his 2nd year he was done dirty. If you have a kid whose not only playing his ass off but is flat beating people out, and you're acknowledging this loudly, then you have a bit of a credibility issue. I understand UDFA's & late rounders have to do a lot more to stick around as rookies. But not year 2. He earned a spot here.

More injuries has pretty much nothing to do with diet playing worse and weaker could could absolutely be affected by diet choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So while a move/tackle on a meat diet may not injure you, repeating that on a vegan diet which has compromised your muscles will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 I’m not knowledgeable or informed enough to offer any kind of analysis on interior DL play. I just know that when Woods got reps in preseason, his impact was equal to or greater than any of the bigger-name players they signed in FA. i kinda figured JRob had found a diamond in the rough...and apparently he did. It just happened to be for another team. Hopefully Jerry sent JRob a nice fruit basket or something . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have at least made the team as a situational rusher from 3 tech though, regardless. Edited January 9, 2019 by tgo Soxcat 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What in the hell do you mean? Is there no sense in continuing to build in a direction that suits the roster you've worked on for the last 2-3 years or do you just start over every time you lose a coordinator? Tell us, how does the league work?... or have "already explained yourself?!" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
