Benjamin visibly unhappy with the weight talk

[csx]

The pouting post was kind of funny....when you lighten the fug up a little.

Talk to alshon Jeffrey about it. He got blasted for his weight coming out of college its all In your head. Do what you are supposed to do and the weight will be the last thing on anyones mind.

[pepaw]

He shouldn't have pouted but maybe they could have talked to him in private about it instead of through the media.

Feed him some more and move him to TE? Fat WR gonna fat

[rmoneyg35]

If 8 pounds of weight would cause hamstring issues, wouldn't 8 pounds of football pads have done that last year every Sunday 

 

If he gained 8 pounds of fat then that could be a problem. If you saw the movie supersize me then you would know that if your in shape and then get fat your muscle will turn to fat and in fact you will loose some weight at first because muscle weighs more than fat. Gaining weight means gaining fat unless your going to the gym to add muscle which KB probably isn't doing. Gaining fat means your more than likely not exercising properly or eating healthy so your setting your self up to get hurt because your body isn't used to playing football. I believe he will be fine but he needs to go on a diet to stay in shape.

It was a very small minuscule issue that was blown out of proportion and to think it was the reason for his hammy was completely asinine

Ya know... I can't feel for the kid on this one.  His profession is to be a football player.  You have a certain time to report to said camps, and to be at those camps at the proportionate weight they require of you, aside from adding muscle. You have 4 months to prep for this?  Its your job, plain and simple.  This is his first off-season so hey, I can see he will get a break but it doesn't excuse coming unprepared.  

[Pejorative Miscreant]

I have not the hypocrisy to criticize some lone over weigh but there must be some truth to it. I heard the quote and Ron did not seem to be overly critical of KB just stated it somewhat as being matter of fact. Followed up by praising him as a football player.

[Dex]

What a baby lol. Next time come prepared and in shape.

[TheRumGone]

this is being blown way out of proportion but w/e

[Khaki Lackey]

I wish our coaching staff and FO would be more terse with the media

[CelibatePimp]

How the hell does muscle turn into fat? Please stop the misinformation.

I think the majority of people would have been at least a little bit irritated after yesterday, especially a young cat like KB. From what I've seen RR doesn't say much "off the cuff". I'm not sure Rivera actually believed 8 lbs would cause a hammy injury. Seems like it was more of a word of warning to KB to make sure you do what it takes to be "on the field". Definitely had an effect.

[Captain Obvious]

I'd like to be his kind of fat though. I'm just a tub of lard.
