ATLSlobberKnockers 7,941 Posted April 26 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Knight of God 49,688 Posted April 26 You know, you can still play “the Bennett role” at 300lbs 5 1 TheFatboi, Drew4719, falcons007 and 3 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great American 4,238 Posted April 26 If I had to guess I'd say a good even number like 293. 2 Absolute and KRUNKuno reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He played at 290 plus at Auburn since he junior year at least. He is fine at the weight he is 3 Osiruz, Drew4719 and Knight of God reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charles Wright 816 Posted April 26 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes it the opposite. I wouldn’t place my attention on that. Upshaw played that role at 320lbs 1 trubirdfan4life reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigjmw84 337 Posted April 26 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
atljbo 20,512 Posted April 26 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister pudding 1,364 Posted April 26 I would bulk him up and move him to DT next to Grady Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazoo 20,190 Posted April 26 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. 2 Absolute and Drew4719 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

atljbo 20,512 Posted April 26 He was 297 at the Senior Bowl and 296 at his last weigh-in at his proday. Regardless... I like the player 3 duckhoa, Drew4719 and blkbigdog35 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Em_Jae20 128 Posted April 26 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lornoth 10,663 Posted April 26 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Refried Beans 1,060 Posted April 26 Davidson is a clone of Jarrett, so that should answer your weight questions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iron Saint 1,013 Posted April 26 ****, 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. 4 DonOfThemBirds, Drew4719, Osiruz and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blkbigdog35 10,436 Posted April 26 I think he should maintain his current weight between 295-300. This man is looking to be a straight goon!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
