Why worry about weight in March?

[TiredOldLion]

Look at other sports. Off season is a time to train and September is when it’s go time.
I expect all players will be ready.

Thought you were going to try and justify that Shamrock Shake after dinner.

Some guys want to come in loaded and then cut.. some prefer lean and mean and then add on. Weight in March is a useless discussion. See me in August.

For the most part I agree, however I'm concerned about Shaka Toney's weight loss. He's undersized, underweight and he has yet to go through the fasting month of Ramadan which causes drastic weight loss for him. I would have liked to see him heavier, knowing he's going to lose weight this summer.

...he's a member of the water polo team...
...bulk helps buoyancy since he's displacing more volume...

The way I look at it, it seems clear from the past four years that somewhere between 230-240 pounds is where the kid’s natural weight is and where his body is the most comfortable. He was effective as a pass-rushing specialist in 2017 at 230-235 pounds, and he can be effective in that role again in 2019. Maybe he won’t ever be heavy enough to be an every-down DE in the Big Ten, but he can still have a nice role at his weight and it seems preferable for him to just own his natural weight than pack on pounds that he’s destined to lose.
