Offensive Line in the Offseason

Great article. I saw Samuels on comcast a few weeks back at his youth camp & they talked about his weight. He looked very fit & athletic for 300+.

L Michaels also mentioned on comcast last night that rinehart has "transformed" his body & is ready to go. Between Rinehart & Bridges, Thomas' spot at rg might not be safe.

I didn't realize the sack totals were so high last year. A more agile line should help.

Would love to see Reinhart step up and take a starting role at some point this season. He reminds me of one of "hogs" of old...a la Stinky Schlereth. Hopefully Buges can find a diamond in the rough here.

That woud be great, but next year is really when he should be starting. Thomas might be cut by then & it will be rino's 3rd year. If he starts this year that's awesome, but I would expect Bridges to take the rg spot before him. I love Randy Thomas, hope he can return to form, but it sounds like the injuries & age are catching up to him.

Does anyone know why Randy didn't participate in AZ and what his current status is (neck)? I ask because he's been such a leader of the group and would expect him to be right there in the thick of it...also a guy I would luv to see rebound this season :)

it blows my mind that m.williams has lost so much weight in such a short amount of time. 342! thats insane.

Just saw on Skins.com that he's, down to 354 currently. Over 50 pounds lost. Amazing.


edit: just read it but was dated 07/17/09...he COULD be 342 now. Wow!

40 lbs in 6 weeks is nuts...but I guess when you have excess weight and are in an NFL training camp, it just melts off.

I hope he makes an impact this season...he deserves it for the effort he's put into this.

I wish that I could lose 40 lbs in a year!

If this is a recent photo, he's looking good.

Listed as 337 on the roster! :D

If you go to the new news in the upper right corner and look at Zorn's comments they discuss Williams and have a photo. He looks better then this photo. His arms are huge.
