    Right. But I'm saying 265 could be a perfect weight for him...

    The average man when training can gain 1.5 to 2 lbs of muscle a month. Dion isnt an average man obviously as he has access to much better trainers..equipment..diet. Really 18 pounds of muscle over a 18 month period is not alot. Especially if hes doing alot of squats..cleans..etc.

    And not when you're in your early twenties and natural test levels are high.

    These are 99th percentile athletes..physically they are off the charts.

    you talking about a starting point, if you are someone like Travis, who's a buck fifty wet in skinny jeans, and I take him for one year and put him on a proper nutritional plan and work him out 6 days a week, i could probably get 15 to 20 in his first year.

    Dion jordan is at 5 percent body fat, heavily muscled, no way that frame can gain that weight

    One of the things they said about Dion coming out was that he had the frame to support more muscle.

    Nor do they go to treatment for Anabolic Steroids or HGH.

    Jordan looked slow and ineffective today. McCain easily showed more in limited snaps. For the 10000th time, just change the mans position to LB and let him get back to his normal weight. Geez.

    In your opinion anyway.

    Jordan himself said he was "drug free" upon his return. It's pretty widely out there on Oregon message boards and such that he smoked MASSIVE amounts of weed while there. I think Sick is correct on this one.

    No need to keep him on the roster.

    Ireland obviously didn't care if he smoked a truckload of pot. As long as his mom wasn't a prostitute, Ireland was happy to trade up and take him with the third pick in the draft.

    He may have had a pot habit he could not shake without treatment in a drug rehab facility, but I do not believe he gained the weight from merely smoking pot and pigging out on junk food. Like you said, he'd been smoking while he was in college, and if there is any time you'll get the pot/junk food combo it is there. He was pretty lean and defined in college. While he may have still been smoking it, he was very likely eating a much higher quality diet, since he now can afford filet migon, lobster, or whatever other form of nutritious diet he may have chosen.
    Perhaps we are debating about two different things in the past few posts?

    The only time I noticed one Dion Jordan was when he screwed up a missed FG by Jax by going offside. Meanwhile Olivier Vernon is a freak!!!!

    Vernon might be the best thing Fireland got us.

    Yeah, not Wake, or Starks, or Grimes, or Jones, etc. Man couldn't draft offense but he was pretty good at finding "acorns" on the defensive side of the ball.

    Jones and Starks are good. They aren't anchors though. Grimes and Wake were FA pickups. Wake came from the CFL.

    Olivier Vernon is just one of those picks that didn't raise any heads but it's turned out to be one of the best Fireland had. Certainly not Dion Jordan at this point. Jared Odrick can be considered another good pick. I'd say jury is still out on Koa Misi but Jelani Jenkins appears to be a huge steal.

    The fact that last season' obvious need was on the O-line and there was a buffet of lineman available to them and they traded up for Jordan is a fireable offense right there.

    Imagine the Dolphins last season if they had even a player like Jawuan James?

    I'm not defending Ireland outright. I will admit with ease that he couldn't put together a complete team, but I'm not going to be partial about his complete rapport here either. He typically found some pretty good defenders. Grimes and Wake were FA pickups but they were good moves, it doesn't matter where when they were gathered for the Dolphins, signing a player that came off an Achilles tear and a CFL player that couldn't bust through previous NFL training camps were risks. These worked out for us.
