Coy Wire adds some pounds

[Dr. Lecter]

Wire was on 97 Rock this AM. He talked about how he now weighs about 225.

He had been around 218 coming out of college, but had to drop weight to play safety. Now that he is at LB, he has put the weight back on. He was ripped last year, so he must be just huge now.

He seemed very impressed with Poz and Lynch, although he obviously would not say other wise.

And, in bad news for Shelby, he is engaged and getting married next April in Arizona.

I think Wire will work out well at LB.

Here's a thought.

Why don't we get guys who are BIG ENOUGH for their position so they don't have to get fat to try to play it?

I'm really getting sick of every guy on this team needing to beef up to be effective, then still not being effective.

Wire is a funny looking guy. He has a HUGE noggin. Almost Bonds big. When he slimmed down he looked like a bobblehead.

You did not read the whole post.

He put on the weight back on he had to lose during the TD era.

Guys traditionally and quite ofter put on weight in the NFL.

Of course, the Bills can dump other weight gainers like Peters if you wish.

Here's a better thought...Wire needs to add some TALENT.

He was better at LB than at safety. He might be a good fit for this scheme at LB.

so we still got a player who was the wrong size for his position. The trend has to stop.

Who are you referring to?

People gain or lose weight all the time. Butler gained considerable weight - b'cse it suits his position. For the time that Coy played safety, it suited him to be lighter - even though that was not his natural position or weight. But he was forced into that position and he made the best of it. Now he's going back to where he should have naturally been placed and gaining the weight back that he was forced to lose. I fail to see how this can be a negative - even in your book!

why do we constantly need players to be gaining or losing weight? Why are we constantly making players switch positions to necessitate this?

Who am I referring to? Coy Wire, pretty much all of our DT's, McGahee last year, George Wilson switching to S, in fact pretty much all of our LB's are undersized. All of our receivers are undersized. Shaud Williams. This team is full of guys who aren't the prototypes for their position.

I realize you like to complain about almost every topic. However, was it really necessary for you to throw your negativity into this thread. Somebody simply reported that Wire gained weight. It didn't really warrant one of your complaints.

Re: Coy Wire adds some pounds

Switching players around sure didn't work for the Patsies a couple of years ago. Granted, that was because of injuries, but these guys are athletes and most of them have probably played a number of positions throughout their careers. It would be nice to have 53 guys who are the perfect fit for their positions, but that's not the way it works. Every team has players who switch around and the ones who find the best fits for their players are the ones who win. Teams must be dynamic.

Wire even being on this team warrants a complaint. He's exactly the type of mediocrity that has been so characteristic of this team for the last decade. The guy does next to nothing but still gets a roster spot every year.
