The Dolphins' Jared Odrick (five sacks) bemoans that “the media is always worried we need another pass rusher, but just look at the numbers!” Miami was 10th in sacks per pass play, and Odrick said he will lose about 20 pounds to gain quickness if he stays at defensive end. He would move to defensive tackle if Randy Starks bolts in free agency, but Miami is working hard to try to keep Starks. Jonathan Martin admits his ideal scenario would be to play left tackle this season (which will happen if Jake Long leaves) Read more here: http://miamiherald.typepad.com/sports-buzz/#storylink=cpy
I'm curious what losing 20 pounds would do for his speed and quickness. It seems like common sense that this would help, but it also might have a negligible effect on his pass rushing ability.
