According to a standard BMI calculator, Lawrence Timmons would be considered to be obese, and he looks like this with his shirt off:



Of course, BMI doesn't take into account the fact that muscle weighs more than fat, so his 6'1" 234 lbs. physique calculates of a BMI of 30.9 (Underweight = BMI < 18.5, Normal weight = 18.5–24.9, Overweight = 25–29.9, Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater). For what it's worth, Casey's BMI (if he is his listed weight of 325 lbs at 6'1") would be 42.9.

Maybe we can move "Fats" Timmons to NT.

I think Redman is going to get 15 touches a game.... I could see if we were trying to pound it like we did with Bettis and Foster but we aren't going to be a run first team.

I don't see Redman as a bruising type RB either... he is shifty in tight spaces and rarely gets blown up. He is an Emmit Smith type running back.... Not the fastest, not the biggest, but somehow he gets 4 to 6 yards without taking big shots.

And THAT is the perfect complement to a good passing game...

I would just like to say that IMO, everyone in this thread that is saying X player is unproven is such a cop out answer. No crap..... But you can't prove yourself until you play. We have this conversation every year. The front office knows what they are doing. They will bring in a couple backs to compete and help out. They will most likely even draft a back. But to say you don't feel good because none of the players here now are unproven just irritates me. Let what we have play. Trail by fire proves what they can do and is the best learning experience.

...and those same people want to draft a back who is unproven.

I got one question. Where is this "trail" you speak of? Sounds dangerous.
