Yep. This wasn’t an essay submission. We’re not in academia, but you are so so so much smarter. Yep that fits the worst part of Michigan alum. 
 

edit: you gonna say something about alum? Should be alumni right? Eat a ____ could be either. Alumnus is possible. Are we talking about one person? Just. So dumb.

I'd say the same thing about Hinton tipping the scales at 340.  I get that you want your OL to be immovable when the play calls for that, but we run a lot of blocking schemes which require mobility, too.  I've always been wary of OL that get over 320, although there are always exceptions (Onwenu comes to mind).

Yep.  Also, Onwemu had the density of a collapsing star so I think any weight comparisons with him are a bit unfair to mere mortals.

Hinton was unlikely to break into the starting lineup this year anyway but if he's really pushing 340 that feels like a sure sign he's got a year of S&C ahead to him to rebuild his body.

Moore was quick last year this year he is even going to be quicker and he gained strength in the weight room all while Losing fat.    

 

Also Cabana is 198lbs which is great not a little guy at 180lbs.  

K Grant is down to 339lbs all while getting stronger also losing that high school baby fat and adding man strength muscle equals great improvements.

  Kris Jenkins now at 305lbs and is stronger and quicker then before.   A 20lb gain from last official weight

Derrick Moore at 258?  HOT DAMN that sure is some good weight lost. Guess we're expecting him to be the speed rush type of edge rather than the heavy edge (forget what we call each one now)

 

I'm looking for a big year from him.

I'm officially in "I'll believe it when I see it" territory with him.

With that said, I believe I'll see it this year?

Maybe of a little of that Prescott Burgess, takes awhile to put it all together. 

And for all the "bUt He hAd 100+ TaCkLeS" people...whatever, that's great. But the hype and expectation on Colson isn't 2nd team B1G, 5th round draft pick. It's 2nd team All-American, 2nd round draft pick (or better). He's good, but he has the potential to be Devin Bush levels of amazing (in a different way). Being Desmond Morgan, Ben Gedeon, Kenny Demens or even Josh Ross...isn't good enough, IMO.  Colson should be a "dangerman" with the star and a bullet.
