Ghost of Rob Johnson Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 Adam_Schefter RT @MoveTheSticks: Terrence Cody weighed 354 lbs (That's big news for the big guy. It'll get him in the scouts' good graces again) Unfortunately could get him back into the first round and out of the Bills range.

thebug Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 You say that like it's a bad thing. I was thinking the same thing.
JStranger76 Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 But, but, but I thought Cody had no self control and desire to be a pro athlete. I thought he had no motivation either. F**k all you Cody haters, you'll be sorry when he developes into the next Ted Washington for somebody else.
Doc Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 But, but, but I thought Cody had no self control and desire to be a pro athlete. I thought he had no motivation either. F**k all you Cody haters, you'll be sorry when he developes into the next Ted Washington for somebody else. The problem is that Cody had major incentive to lose weight (for the Combine). If the Bills take him 9th overall, he'll get major coin and incentive to keep his weight down will be a lot harder. It has to come from within and there's no way to measure that.
JStranger76 Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 Whoa.....nobody said anything about 9th......
bkc Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 With all of these team now using 3/4 in never made sense that this guy would slip to the mid second round. That is unless he is just a total slug
Ghost of Rob Johnson Posted February 27, 2010 Author Posted February 27, 2010 You say that like it's a bad thing. It's bad news for someone who wanted him to be there in the 2nd round.
JStranger76 Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 It's comical when you hear the "I guess I would take him in the 4th" comments. Pretty much a lock for the late 1st now and I could even see the Steelers take him at 18 and groom him behind Hampton.
Doc Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 Whoa.....nobody said anything about 9th...... Well that's pretty much where the Bills would have to take him. I doubt they'll be able to trade down and he'll be long gone by their 2nd round pick.

Kinda like Maybin suddenly weighing 250 for last year's combine, huh? Artificial weight gain/loss is just that. That doesn't mean Cody might not be an excellent player -- I'll leave that evaluation up to those who get paid to make those decisions -- but people should not put much stock in short term weight changes.
iinii Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 Whoa.....nobody said anything about 9th...... Yeah, let's not get all carried away here. Cody has looked good when he got on the field, but he will need weight clauses in his contract, and getting down to 354 will help his draft status but 9 is a little premature to say the least.
High Mark Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 I dont care what he weighs. Its his conditioning that matterrs. Big Pat has great conditioning and easily plays at 350+. I dont think Cody has the conditioning judging by the # of snaps he actually played for his teams D.

Doc Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 Kinda like Maybin suddenly weighing 250 for last year's combine, huh? There's no comparison between being allowed to eat what you want, so as to gain weight, versus not being allowed to eat whatever you want, so as to lose weight. I have no doubts that Maybin is trying to keep his weight up. And in Maybin's case, as a 20+ year old, he's still filling out his frame. Artificial weight gain/loss is just that. That doesn't mean Cody might not be an excellent player -- I'll leave that evaluation up to those who get paid to make those decisions -- but people should not put much stock in short term weight changes. The evaluation should be based on his performance on the field, because it wouldn't surprise me to learn he was around 370# for most of his senior season.
aristocrat Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 gotta be a weight clause in whatever contract he signs. he'll go 20-25 now.

If the Bills take him 9th overall, he'll get major coin and incentive to keep his weight down will be a lot harder. It has to come from within and there's no way to measure that. He had a major incentive to keep his weight down for the post season games and he couldn't do it. Kinda like Maybin suddenly weighing 250 for last year's combine, huh?

I agree. He could have taken diuretics the night before to help lose weight. Also, as mentioned he is motivated for the payday. Will he be motivated for the career? Cody to 354Deckchair off Titanic. I dont care what he weighs. Its his conditioning that matterrs. Big Pat has great conditioning and easily plays at 350+. I dont think Cody has the conditioning judging by the # of snaps he actually played for his teams D. Great point. I agree that his conditioning is very poor. IMO, a first round DT needs to be a three down player.

It'll get him in the scouts' good graces again) Unfortunately could get him back into the first round and out of the Bills range. I don't see it. His ideal weight would be somewhere around 340 or so, according to both him and Saban, his college coach. This just means he can drop weight for a week or two. It doesn't mean he can ever get to his best weight, and it doesn't show that he is likely to keep weight off. I wish him the best, but don't think this will help a great deal.
