And RJS.

But Williams is down to a more TEish weight and not a tackle. The fact that he was able to lose so much so quickly tells me he was carrying some bad weight last year. Hopefully this helps him become more of a threat in the passing game.

Delonte Hollowell is the same height and is 175. He should be gaining a lot more weight or he could not see the field at DB.

So I went back and last fall Richardson was listed at 154. So actually moving up to 162 is a definite step in the right direction. Maybe he'll be up to around 170 by fall which would be a plausible playing weight.

Is it possible the LBs haven't had their updated weights reported? With Manning coming in recently, who knows whether or not position coaches are responsible for reporting weights. He could still be getting acclimated. I'm not saying this is the case, but you never know.

OMG Gibbons up to 240

Wow, didn't remember Willie Henry being that big.

This is probably true. There is no doubt that Ross and Bolden will be hitting the weights hard over the summer. That's where the growth will really happen.

The only thing that gives me pause is Clark and Mario adding such good weight, which I can only assume is good weight.

Would have loved to see some of that in LB core, but I don't doubt the training staff or the dedication of our LBers.

On a related note, I am expecting to see Clark and Mario as the DEs on passing downs this year with both really coming into their own.

Clark is especially encouraging and I think a lot of us believed that after reading about him over the off-season. Still think it could be potentially huge for this defense if he was capable of shifting over to the strong side on passing downs. 275 makes him possibly capable of doing that.

EDIT: And I basically repeated what you said. DERP

And having Jake Ryan blitz from ILB spot like GB does with Clay Matthews? They did that a little bit last year IIRC. It’s a nice look every once in a while but I don’t think they’re going to do it all the time on passing downs.
