Hollis conditioning (1 Viewer)

I remember seeing Hollis on the sideline early in the game on Sat and he looked a little spent. I was kind of worried but then I didn't really hear or see anything after that. Does anyone know if he was rotated often during the game?

I have a question about Hollis Thomas. In his post-game interviews the guy looks massive.......I mean, body-builder massive.

But when he's in his uniform he looks like something like Grady Jackson and 14 jars of peanut butter.

Guy is a heckuva player and I'm glad his back in the lineup - he makes a HUGE difference.

Yes he was rotated. He missed four games so he was out of game shape. He also had an asthma attack but got it under control on the sideline and came back in the second half. He played well.

Everything Lee Newell said.

He wasn't getting as much pentration as he normally does but he was anchoring his spot and very solid in run defense. He still may not be 100% for Chicago but he'll be even more effective then this weekend (which is still pretty effective). We need him vs Benson/Jones.

Asthma could be a big factor in the cold this Sunday.Hopefully they can keep it under control.

I also saw Big Hollis wheezing on the sideline and immediately thought "he's dying out there!!!" But before I could finish that thought and get concerned, he let out one of the heftiest (pun intended) I've ever seen. Sure Big Boy is hurting out there because of the lack of conditioning over the 4 game suspension, but he also got some needed rest during that time. Talk about a double edged sword. Hollis is great-just like us fans, it seems like he's enjoying every second of this run.

I saw him downtown on Saturday after the game. He rolled onto bourbon with a huge stretch hummer that crossed the street near Galatoire's. He really isn't that big, I'm 6'3 and he must've been 6 or so. He basically looked like a huge walking circle.
