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

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.

It is not a "report". The "report"and "the word" are hearsay. What we would need to know is Davenport's BMI after the season and when training camp started to be able to ascertain whether he actually gained 15 lbs of fat; or he just gained a combination of 15 pounds of muscle and fat.

And I don't care if it is 30 years ago, or 50, or 100. At 6'6", and 265 lbs, with the muscle mass Davenport is carrying, even if he gained 15 lbs of fat, 2 weeks of no carbs in TC, they're gone.
