He has muscles where I didnt even know muscles existed.
February 23rd, 2015 at 10:32 PM ^
Actually, that's Darboh who has the muscles that don't exist!

Why is Drevno the only name attached to his big money overlords' sponsorship?

Seeing as these guys haven't practiced in almost 3 months I view the weght gains with suspicion. Conditioning has been going on for a few weeks, but you have to think some of that is bad weight. No bowl practices is a bad thing for players' conditioning. And Drake still weighing 174 is crazy, he's been on campus for over a year.
February 23rd, 2015 at 10:34 PM ^
They probably get a week off around Christmas, and another in the summer or immediately after spring ball is over. They missed out on bowl practice, but they've still been "voluntarily" lifting pretty much the whole time.
As far as Drake, they are likely trying to stretch his muscles and make sure he doesn't hurt his hammy again. He doesn't need to be doing squats and a bunch of lifts that delay his recovery and don't prevent him from getting hurt again. He's a RS FR, people are freaking out about the weight of a guy that has never played a down of college football. There are reasons you redshirt people, some people take time to add weight, some people don't add weight as easily either. Drake could easily be recovering, trying to prevent injury, and not a guy that easily gains weight. But people should chill about him only being 174

It's the dead of winter. I don't hold it against them.

Man this roster has so much potential. I BAUGHLIEVE in 10+ wins

Lighter = faster
Heavier = stronger
No exceptions. If you maintain your weight, you probably managed to get stronger while maintaining your speed which is double plus good

Dude. it's a meme on the site. Don't overthink a little fun.
February 24th, 2015 at 11:05 AM ^
because every year we look at a list of weight changes and try to glean meangingful information from it despite the fact that what you said is correct, it probably means next to nothing in many cases. Just a running gag
February 23rd, 2015 at 8:24 PM ^
We now have a RB playing DT and a DT playing FB... CUPBOARD IS BARE!!!!!
February 23rd, 2015 at 8:25 PM ^
I feel like this should be a mryost post.
February 23rd, 2015 at 8:27 PM ^
Harbo = Jack Hammer
Brady Pallante = Sledge Hammer or Battering Ram?
Bring on the Spring Game!!!

Good lord Royce is already a senior. I remember going to Cass Tech games when he was a senior on the team.

Ian Bunting at 243 is a godsend. Drake Harris still at 174 means he's not seeing the field this year. Bunting was more vital to our team's success, way less depth at TE. Drake can take another year to get to playing size now that he is healthy, Darboh, Ways, Canteen, and Cole are field ready. Cole at 200 lbs should have blocking ability JH loves at WR, if he is still as explosive as always he should play good amount of reps this fall.
February 23rd, 2015 at 10:17 PM ^
February 23rd, 2015 at 10:23 PM ^
Why won't he see the field? I just watched the combine this weekend and there were plenty of WR's under 185 pounds. Seems reasonable he could put on another 5 or so pounds by the fall. If he's a good player, he'll play. It won't be because he's too skinny as a receiver.
February 24th, 2015 at 10:43 AM ^
Plenty?
5 out of 44 receivers weighed less than 185.
Mario Alford - 5'8", 180 (2.65 lb/in)
Rashad Greene - 5'11, 182 (2.56 lb/in)
Christion Jones - 5'10, 182 (2.6 lb/in)
Tyler Lockett - 5'10", 182 (2.6 lb/in)
J.J. Nelson - 5'10, 156 (2.23 lb/in)
Drake Harris is 6'4", 174... so significantly skinnier than every dude listed except J.J. Nelson.... and Nelson was the fastest dude at the combine (4.28 40) and is expected to be a returner only in the NFL because he's too small to play WR.
February 23rd, 2015 at 8:41 PM ^
If canteen can get up to 200 lbs before fall, then he can play on the outside. Kid has amazing ball skills.

I'll take a guy who gets caught from behind 40 yards down field if he ran over 3 guys to get there... Then we give him a chance to catch his breath when we put a guy even bigger in there to knock the hell out of them some more!

The whole beuaty of a Harbaugh team so far in his career is that it doesn't matter if the RB gets caught from behind because he's gonna average 4 yards per carry. If you do the math that equals a touchdown. Doesn't matter if the drives takes 10 seconds or 5 minutes, because both ways you wind up with 7 points. If we get down I have full faith in this staff to have the gameplanning and clock management skills to speed it up and air it out. Clark and Bunting on the field at the same time is gonna open things up so much for both the WRs and the running game. Don't forget that the running game was finally starting to click after two years at the end of last year. It was the passing game that was awful. I can't wait to see this team in action.

Maybe he envisions Jeremy Clark getting some reps on offense?
February 24th, 2015 at 6:35 AM ^
And where did this idea that Harbaugh rush offenses average 4 yards a carry come from? His first year at Stanford they ave 4.9 YPC and every other year were above 5 YPC. All those were top-20 in the nation. That is a shredding run game, not a three yards/cloud of dust run game. Anecdotally, did you see that Orange Bowl against VT? I didn't see the RBs get caught from behind on their breakaways to long TDs.

I'll take the guy who runs over 3 guys & goes the distance on every play, saving puppies from fires and feeding the hungry along the way, then looks at the camera with a natural glint off his smile and dedicates that lates TD to his mom & Bo.... but not necessarily in that order.

double post... I guess I'll take the guy who gets 2 TD's on every play?
Is it possible?
With Harbaugh, anything is possible.
