LenFrail:Is Lendale too skinny?

I think losing the weight is great.

I don't think you understand... 6' 1" 234 is in no way "frail". He's still a load. He's taking a step forward in his career, and there is no reason, whatsoever, to be worried. He's still going to be a solid short yardage back.

Losing fat and gaining muscle is always good... unless you're an offensive lineman or a DT.

 

Lendale should be a much better player this year. If he performs maybe he should be offered a new contract. He's taking his conditioning seriously. That's awesome. We can thank CJ for that. He has some ridiculously low body fat, like 1% or something. LenDale lost his status to as starter to Johnson. Johnson is a star. LenDale is second fiddle. LenDale should have a great year. We shall see.

 

lendale will either play good and take the most money he can get (not us)

or he will continue to be an average RB in the nfl and the titans will not bother with him since we have like 100 RBs on our roster.

well probably give chris the BEAST henry a real shot. then we will have the 2 chrises in the backfield dominating

 

Explain to me what exactly makes Lendale White an 'average' running back. 4 ypc and 7+ TD per season is above average in my book sir. 15 TDs last year is average? His stats have done nothing but increase since his rookie year, and now hes in the best shape of his NFL career.

 

You're kidding...right?

 

Barring a game/season ending injury, we all know that no one is upseating CJ.
As for LW, the only other RB on our roster that has a legit shot at upseating LW is Ringer, and that's only if he both outshines LW in TC and in the PS.
As for the others, unless LW and Ringer just have a totally horrible, deplorable TC and PS AND CHen, Ganther, Little have stellar TCs at the same time, they are going to be right where they are....or worse.
I see Ringer getting little snippets of playing time with us in a similar manner that Darren Sproles did with the Chargers behind LT and Turner.

 

At 230ish LenDale White was a standout rusher leading USC in rushing in his first two seasons. If any college team was 'pro like' it's USC and for LenDale to have 3,159 yards rushing with a total of 52 TD's over his time there I'd say lets get the LenDale who plays near 230. Not the blob like creature at 245-260 he was last year fumbling away TD's in the playoffs. I was thrilled draft day in 2006 when he fell to us in the 2nd round. Since that day he hasn't had the career I thought he might, but coming into the 2009 season I think he will show us what he's really capable of. He wants the extension, but more importantly he wants the ring. He wouldn't loss the weight and bust his lazy butt if he wasn't sure playing at 230 would make him the best he can be. He knows what the lighter LenDale could mean for his success and our teams success.

 

"Skinny"? He is still a fumbling, fat a** until the new season begins.

 

Yep.
I think a lighter, faster LenDale will mean more long TD runs like he had against Kansas City last season, where he like, outran everyone for the longest run from scrimmage of last season (even longer than CJ's longest).
