Too many of our offensive linemen are just plain fat. I know you need big guys up front, but you also need fit guys. I wonder about our training routine, weight routine, diet, etc. Getting in better shape also helps avoid injury...

The lineman are pushed in the off-season and work hard. They were very physical in the beginning of the season. They are not lazy.

I don't like that our athletic training staff uses cubed and not crushed ice in our water bottles.

I'm an ice snob, so I'm actually nodding at this complaint. Crushed ice crushes cubed ice three ways to Sunday. I patronize restaurants simply because I like their ice.

I hope you're not one of those guys who puts ice in your wine.

Just to be serious for a minute.

As someone who works out a lot,there is no way a lineman is gonna carry over 300lbs on his frame and look "in shape".

Last weekend I was watching "Undrafted" on the NFL network.
Its amazing the differnce in body types between linemen and everybody else.

Carrying all that weight may be necessary in football,but a friend of mine, who's an Orthopedist that does Sports Medicine,says they'll pay for it when they get older,especially if they don't loose the weight after they stop playing.

The only linemen who look close to "normal" play for the Acadamies,especially Army.

Defensive linemen seem to be able to pull it off (Extraterrestrial J.J. Watt is probably pushing 300 by now), but offensive linemen don't. Best-case scenario is a guy like Joe Thomas, who seems to be able to carry 315 really well. And looking at Thomas' frame, I wouldn't be shocked if he doesn't drop a lot of weight after he stops playing. Seems like a guy who is 315 just because he plays in the NFL.

Have you seen Anthony Munoz lately? Almost skinny.

Munoz would probably be made into a tight end if he played today, wouldn't he?

Crushed pebbled ice is half the reason I will even enter a Frisch's Big Boy.

While I have all but sworn off ever eating there since they dropped Coke (and thus making one of their Cherry of Vanilla Cokes now impossible) they do have that going for them.

Sonic offers a similar kind of ice and you can buy it by the bag!

Exactly - there is nothing healthy about weighing that much and eating as much as some small countries.

Google a picture of former Cowboys lineman Nate Newton. It's crazy how much different he looks with all the weight off.

I have often put a couple cubes in a glass of Beaujolais on a hot summer day dining al fresco/on the deck (if have not had chance to give it a slight chill in the fridge)

We should only use crushed ice that is already slightly melted as cubed ice can lead to cracked teeth. Is there a protocol similar to concussion protocol on when a player can return to action following a cracked tooth?
