Say he loses 15-20 lbs of mostly fat in the offseason… the strength loss is going to be negligible for this sport. This is not an offensive lineman or sumo wrestling situation. Will him moving better make a big difference? No idea. Not saying he needs to or can be Wemby. It might improve what he is good at… Randle, Zion, etc are all guys that perform better when they get lighter and are still able to bully dudes. Not sure if Kevin Love helped his career or helped it but he’s about as close as you could get to a “maybe he got too skinny”. We even saw what having a few extra pounds did to favs… who wasn’t fat.
I doubt there is one team or staff in the league that doesn’t have dropping a few pounds on the top of his to do list if he came in and was part of their program.
Yeah I think Cy is confusing "momentum" with "strength"
Take two sumo wrestlers with equal strength. The fat one wins because you can't move him and because he can move you. Same for offensive linemen.
