Edit: I wonder if they would be better off with a fat% measurement included instead of just weight? 250lbs of solid muscle is better than 245 at 30% fat.
What I'm getting at is I hope it isn't mostly aerobic exercise where he could lose muscle mass and not strength training.
I would think that the training staff is watching for that, though.
I had the same thoughts, both the first (that it should be body composition more so than weight) and the second (staff will likely be queued in on that, too). The Hawks seem to spare no expense hiring great nutrition and wellness staff and I am sure they all over this like a duck on a June bug. And what'll keep him from eating his way to 260 lbs by game three is regular weigh-ins with $$$ as the carrot (though he could probably eat some carrots too, if he wants. I'm sure the staff will help him eat well and motivate him to keep at it. If they can stay healthy, the competition between Lacy and Rawls should prove interesting. Add a lil Procise in the mix (he needs to stay healthy too), and we could have a solid backfield this year.
