First Sean taylor at 212. This has already been discussed, he's dropped a lot of weight to be faster and a better ball hawk at the free safety position.

Second Clinton Portis at 223. Thats a lot heavier than what I was expecting. I think Portis is best at about 210 to 215 that way he is explosive but also hasthe power and pass protection strength that he does so well.

Third and most concerning Jon Jansen 297. I'm sure lots of people like myself have noticed a big dropoff in Jansens play. I think this number best describes the issue. He was lost his power. I don't know if it's because he can't lift weights with his injured thumbs or what. But Jansen playing RT should be at least 15 pounds heavier.
Discuss further!

I would not worry about any of this stuff.

Jansen does not need to be 320lbs to be effective. His current weight is just fine. Denver never has big guys on their line and they do just fine.

CP may be 223 right now but by the 1st game he'll be around 210lbs. These guys will loose weight right away during camp.

ST at 212 is going to be scary. He is going to be faster and ballhawking all over the field. This should hopefully help him in coverage.
