Coach Pete Update: Not Good on Davenport. Some on Hill and Bridgewater, Some Saints Good News also

I don't know who these lots of conditioning coaches are, but weight alone is no determination of performance. He could've shown up weighting the same 265 lbs he weighted after last season - or even less - and be out of football playing shape.

And a again, at 6'6" 265 lbs playing weight, 15 lbs isn't that big of a deal. He could shed that in a couple of weeks of training camp.

The report from Coach Pete is that he added 15 lbs of fat. That is never a good thing for a professional athlete. The word is that he gained that weight because he did not stick to his offseason conditioning program. I'm not sure what your expertise is, training today is not what it was 30 years ago. Playing football is year-round. There is no offseason for training. You're either getting better or you're getting worse. I'm sure the coaching staff is thrilled that their multi-million-dollar two first-round picks investment got worse when he should have been getting better. But hey, if it's not a big deal, you should ask the coaches why they even set offseason training regimens for the players. Hey, go ahead and gain 15 lbs of fat everybody. We'll spend the first six games of the season getting back in shape.
