ATLSlobberKnockers Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 He played this season at 275-280, and bulked up to 300+ afterwards anticipating a move to.DT in the NFL. If we are hoping that hes our Michael Bennett I think they may want him at 275-280 instead of 300+. What do yall think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of God Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 You know, you can still play “the Bennett role” at 300lbs blkbigdog35, falcons007, TheFatboi and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great American Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 If I had to guess I'd say a good even number like 293. Absolute and KRUNKuno 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played at 290 plus at Auburn since he junior year at least. He is fine at the weight he is Drew4719 and Knight of God 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Wright Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I've watched a lot of vid of him and he is a hard worker dog. Seems to realize to be the best he's going to push his limits. Not sure but I believe he can add 20 lbs and still be a serious force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily. Sometimes it the opposite. I wouldn’t place my attention on that.

bigjmw84 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Dropping down to 290 wouldn't affect his game on the interior due to his raw strength, but he could gain an extra step on the edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atljbo Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I think he plays around 290-295... I just like the fact that we added a bully baller... I also like having guys who can do work all down the line (even tho I think most of his damage last year) .... I think John Cominsky will be important for us too. I really hope we take a look at Michael Bennett also.... The more dogs you have on your line.. The better... Also that Vet leadership Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister pudding Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I would bulk him up and move him to DT next to Grady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazoo Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 It's a great question. I don't see him wearing down as season goes on at either weight range, so that shouldn't be a factor. Rod Coleman played at 284lbs and was a killer at DT racking up 10.5 sacks and 11.5 sacks while playing next to Japser and Lavalias.

atljbo Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 He was 297 at the Senior Bowl and 296 at his last weigh-in at his proday. Regardless... I like the player Drew4719, duckhoa and blkbigdog35 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Em_Jae20 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I think it will all depend on his ability to move, his conditioning, and his ability to stay healthy. If he's just a quick and explosive at 300 lbs as he is at 285 he won't be asked to change much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lornoth Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Not real worried. Grady is up around 290-300 and he's shorter than Marlon so it's not like you can't move/be healthy at that size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duckhoa Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 It is a shame that TD views him as a DT....I really was looking forward to a 300 pond DE....lol....what a bruiser.... Jerz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Saint Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 ****, y’all got a Davison and a Davidson at DT now? That’s not going to cause confusion when discussing them and someone spells their name wrong.

He will be in the Bennett/Richard Seymour role. He will play DE in base and slide over to DT in nickle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope we give him some reps at DE. He did look good as a DE. Thought we were going off the reservation after failing with the smaller Vic....”let’s do the opposite and draft the biggest baddest DE out there”....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkbigdog35 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I think he should maintain his current weight between 295-300. This man is looking to be a straight goon!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
