Hardy says he's up to 299...

[Proudiddy]

I kept telling everyone pre-draft who was saying we should take a DE that Hardy was going to be a great player for us even with the supposed issues some have brought up about his play from last year.

Dude is a beast and you will see it in the stats this year.

If he stays free of injuries this year, he's gonna have a breakout season. If you look at the advanced stats from last year, his numbers suggest he had an outstanding year but the key stats that average fans look for were lacking so they chalked it up to a lost season.

Just watch...

It is true that teams fib about a players weight for various reasons... in this case it could have been to help discourage the "hey lets run the ball at the skinny guy" idea.

yes, of course.... they are calling plays 3 months in advance

I hope our pass rush jus got better.

LOL I'm afraid there's only one way to add 22lbs of muscle in that amount of time...

I don't have a problem with it, I just hope he doesn't get caught.

Don't have a problem with it? Yeah. Risking us becoming the Saints*. I have a huge problem with it. I doubt it's the case. (Thread officially derailed)

As an admitted user of many different PED's I endorse this post.

If Hardy truly is 299 right now then we are going to see him breakout this season presuming that he has kept his speed and the majority of his athleticism... we need one of our defensive ends outside of CJ to step up this season.

As Snake said, I think we are going to see a lot more of the 3-4 this season with the bodies and personnel we have right now. Certainly the 4-3 will remain our base and most-used formation, but I just have a feeling we will switch to the 3-4 fairly often to present match up problems and get the most talent on the field. Something like this:

Johnson- Edwards- Hardy

Anderson-Kuechly-Beason-Davis

Hogan/Captain/Norman-Gamble

Martin/Smith-Godfrey/Nakamura

Yeah, so 299 is definitely not a mistake.

I know where you're going with that... and I've said the same...BUT

I put on 25 pounds of muscle without any steroids or supplements whatsoever. I just ate and drank an occasional protein shake (Gatorade ones) I did it in 4.5 months.

It's possible, very possible. He's had longer than 4 months to boot. I was going to the gym twice a day and swimming laps in a pool in between, and would run in the evenings.

I was in the best shape of my life when i was doing that obviously. I weighed 196 at one point, and when i got back from down South my wife hated that i was that big... she made me stop going to the gym so much... So now I only weight 185, all of the weight I lost was muscle. I was an eating machine though... good times, and good memories. That was a great trip

With all due respect, pretty much everything in this post is inaccurate.

You might want to read the post I was quoting before providing a snarky response.

I know you live to troll, but pump the breaks a little.

right because you were there. I wasn't even bragging. Just stating that it is def possible to put on muscle weight that quickly, as I have done it myself...and I dont have the means that a pro athlete does (ie state of the art gym equipment) (personal trainers) (nutritionists)(personal chefs) i could go on and on and on

[CatMan72]

Don't have a problem with it? Yeah. Risking us becoming the Saints**. I have a huge problem with it. I doubt it's the case. (Thread officially derailed)

Hardy using PED's is not the same as institutional rule breaking and disregard for player safety.

Yes I see where I misread that, but I honestly hope you don't think that teams game plan around what weight a coach says a player is. I mean come on.....really? Seriously?

Are you really this dense? If Hardy gets caught(assuming he's using enhancing drugs) then, he will only get punished and only himself. Saints* were putting bets on ending players careers.

[TruCatzFan]

Yeah, so 299 is definitely not a mistake.

I never doubted you or him for the record. I stated as much earlier. I do believe that RR didn't want people to know though. He DEF knew how much Hardy weighed and intentionally threw out a smoke screen.
