Don’t count on it …… In my mind, this guy is not dedicated and will probably show up at 4 bills for OTA’s. I. Don’t understand how we end up with guys like this (Mims included). Perhaps not enough due diligence at draft time ….. Whiffing on a top 10 pick can set a franchise back 2-3 yrs and I certainly hope that’s not the case. I’m running outta of time.

stupid reporters won't say before the surgery he weighed in at 356...
being laid up after the surgery for three weeks before he actually got back to working out he gained 18 pounds, which someone did report he was up over 370...

he will be back and in shape for the offseason
team nutritionist & strength and conditioning coaches have been with him for the last 6 weeks

think they have a goal weight in mind for him, not sure what it is but if I can find out will note it on the board...

God I hope your right. The guy can play…. Just don’t want his career derailed by Ho Ho’s and Ring Dings

any surgery comes with some kind of fall back being a large man and told to be off his feet for three weeks before he can get back to vigorous exercise in this case practice and getting back into football shape makes things harder especially when everyday normal life happens... he was on social media (twitter) non stop for those three weeks then when it was time to get back to football activities he was hardly on social media...

I don't hold things against him but until I am certain I will say this I believe they want his play weight to be between 335 - 355 that is a big scale it has to be smaller frame and will get a better hint on that...

Hurrah, an ever-present for the offseason. We are cinches to win the league's hotdog-eating contest.

Weight was a concern with this guy when he was drafted. So only one of two solutions ...

1. He does what he needs to do to stay in the NFL (which apparently did not happen here)
2. Let him go and he gets so big that you put him at LT and LG at the same time. Pass protection will be perfect as it will take any rusher too much time to circumvent the mass. Kinda like a 6'7" Sherman Plunkett.

He needs the John Pinette diet. Pinette, the late comedian, was a very funny and corpulent fellow. he said that he had an uncle that provided a great diet to control your weight, "STOP YER EATIN' !"

Jets can't put their competitive timeline in his hands - he might eat it. I'm up for OL first round....AND/OR.......spend some FA money to add

How come when i say this I get in grief lol....I hear Becton wants to get a trade to India he heard about a New Delhi there.

Lets face it I would not want to be behind him & JD at the buffet table. But I will give him a pass only for this year.

We know you're trying to be funny, but Sherman was more than size. He was surprisingly agile for his size and played tennis, which improved his quickness.

Jonathan Ogden to me is the standard for giant Tackles. Man was agile and had tremendous technique at 6'9"...and generally played at 345
