White to Focus on Conditioning this Offseason

I cannot stress this enough... HE HAD TWO EFFING FUMBLES ALL SEASON!!!! The last thing he needs to work on is carrying the ball, he scored 7.5 TDs last year for every one fumble!!

 

I understand some of the criticism, I'm in the very positive about Lendale camp. I like his antics, attitude, and just that he's a heavy short-yard back.

Thing is, I just don't know that he would be a better running back by trying to transform his body. Certainly if he only loses weight, I think that could be a bad effect. How much speed would he really increase?

I don't have the answer, I'm just not sure I want LW to change much. Fat to muscle at the same weight I think would be good, probably would still wear people down as a heavy person.


If anything, I wish he'd get a few more carries and CJ a few less. It's not because I think LW is better than CJ, I don't. But I want CJ "FRESH" and ready bust homeruns all the time. And hopefully as a longer term Titan player, so less carries the longer he'll be effective for the Titans.

 

I agree with first part of what you were saying. I wonder though, does that make him better near the latter part of the year? Does it pay off when the games start counting more? Does it in anyway keep him from getting injured?

Like I said, I don't have answers, just things I been wondering.

 

The reason changing his body would help, is because it'd match the way he runs- which should make him more effective.

Lendale is labeled as a 'bruiser' or a 'power' back. Why? Other than his size, he's never deserved either label. He doesn't power through tackles. He doesn't lower his shoulder and deliver punishment to the defender... he runs like he's LT's size. Actually...that's exactly the way he tries to run, but his size and the laws of science wont allow it.

He's very easy to tackle if a hand touches him. CJ actually runs with more power. Which is why I always laughed at him getting upset over Deangelo and Stewart using 'Smash and Dash'. Ok- lendal may have come up with it, but that's the only reason he's part of anything labeled 'BASH'. At least Stewart runs like he's Lendale's size.

 

LenDale running into you would be like a giant Marshmellow running into you. Sure it looks big, but it's soft.

 

his head is probably noticeably thinner after it deflated 10 pounds from his horrible failure in the playoff game...lendale blows

 

so bottom line his LW is working on his conditioning, all I am expecting is jerrycurls and a daily mixed dozen at KK
