[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 29179, member: 265"] I agree that in 2009 Dwyer slowed down a half step from the extra weight. Not a good thing. But he said at the time (if I recall right) that this was a conscious decision. He wanted to go into the season a bit heavier to be at a weight that made it easier to take the pounding as the season wore on and he lost weight. Now, [I]I[/I] wouldn't have done that and I think Coach was probably none too pleased. Oth, neither of us were out there carrying the ball 20 times a game with a "Hit me first!" sign on our chest. Unintended consequence = he carried more weight into the off season before he went to the pros and reported out of shape. The "coaching staff" at Pittsburg has been down on him ever since. Not enough to trade him to some team that could motivate him and get hios career back on track, of course; that goes without saying for an outfit that combines stubbornness with a lack of concern for players. Hope he can get lose form that outfit soon. [/QUOTE]
