The Big Cat Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 That is not something I forgot. Whether it be muscle or fat, mass is mass. More mass leads to bigger chance of injury. And even though he says he is faster, I doubt his short area quickness and burst is helped by carrying more weight. With that said, I'm not trying to make a mountain out of an ant hill here, considering it is may and that weight will come down once football activities start. Who the hell proved THAT theorem? Dude looks RIPPED and ready to go after Brady here. Gotta hide the link from the hover preview. FAIL.
dogma+ Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 No big deal. Bruce was 300 pounds up until around '87. And even then he played at about 285. Whether it be muscle or fat, mass is mass. More mass leads to bigger chance of injury. That's not true at all.
FluffHead Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 So carrying more weight has no effect on the lower extremities? got it.
vincec Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Dude looks RIPPED and ready to go after Brady here. Yes he does. VERY ripped.
Bills Analyst Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 More mass leads to bigger chance of injury...... .... For opposing quarterbacks. And to think many people wanted Maybin to add more mass.

DC Tom Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 BREAKING NEWS: PFT is reporting that Roger Goodell has suspended Mario Williams for the 2012 season. Quote Goodell: "The extra weight that Mario has put on makes him too much a threat to Tom Brady. We have to suspend Williams to maintain the integrity of the game."
MaineMoxie Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Dude looks RIPPED and ready to go after Brady here. I should have known better.
The Big Cat Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 So carrying more weight has no effect on the lower extremities? got it. Yeah, bro, from 30,000 !@#$ing feet, you're correct. I weight about 240 lbs, if my weight were to skyrocket to 500 pounds, it would do a doozy on my knees, hips, ankles, etc. So yes, in that sense, carrying more weight DOES have an effect on the lower extremities. When a 6'6" professional athlete adds 10 lbs to his 290 lb super-human frame (a 3% increase in body weight), and when said male is 27 years old and still in his athletic prime, I'm quite certain his lower extremities can handle it, thus making you wrong as rain.
K-9 Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Who the hell proved THAT theorem? ... Pretty sure it was either Copernicus or Newton. GO BILLS!!!
dogma+ Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 So carrying more weight has no effect on the lower extremities? got it. Considering a large amount of that weight is IN the lower extremities... no.
JuanGuzman Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) I think he weighed 295 at the combine in 2006 so this is a non-story to me. Body weight for a normal person fluctuates by about 5 pounds in day, I imagine even greater daily fluctuation for someone Mario size.... The part of the story I like is the faster/stronger. Hopefully his torn pectoral muscle has healed... (Not that I should really consider faster/stronger to be news as every athlete in history says their in the best shape of their life prior to training camp) I remember D'qwell Jackson has 2 season ending injuries from a torn pectoral muscle. Finally I wonder if the Bills would consider using Mario as a goalline TE or fullback much like the ravens use their DT NGata or the patriots w/ vrabel. Edited May 3, 2012 by JuanGuzman
DC Tom Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Who the hell proved THAT theorem? Structural strength corresponds to cross-sectional size - roughly, by a square law. Stress, however, corresponds to mass - roughly, by a cube law. So the "chance" of injury increases with size by roughly a 3/2 power law. And yes, that's actually true...it's why, if you drop them off a 100 foot cliff, a squirrel bounces, a person breaks, and a horse splatters. But anyone who thinks its any more than a general rule of thumb is an idiot.

I'm pretty sure a vagina or camel's toe would just bounce, which is why I'm not sure what the answer would be. GO BILLS!!!

BRAWNDO Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Dude looks RIPPED and ready to go after Brady here. Actually seeing that coming towards them, the PATS OL might be in enough disbelief that they forget to block.
chris heff Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Dude looks RIPPED and ready to go after Brady here. Thank you
