loose circuits

did you read the article? It was the headline....Sounds to me like a dude with his balls to the fire. He knows the rep he has and is trying to do something about it. Sounds like he took most of the 1st team reps as well. I'm a Bell fan, but I covered my bases in the league I have Bell with Dwyer and RedmanThose peanuts ain't making it past Dwyer's pie hole, that's for sure.You will enjoy those peanuts more than you would have enjoyed Dwyer.This is the lightest Ive ever been in the off-season, Dwyer said. I took a disciplinary action on myself. I know what I can do as a player when Im in the best shape I can be. I know if I am I can get up into that next level as potentially one of the best in the league. So thats pretty much where Im trying to get to.
Dwyers weight is back down to 245, and he said hes on pace to get down to 230, or as low as I possibly can by the opener.
That would be his lightest weight since 2009 at Georgia Tech, but he said hes not motivated by coaches or the drafting of LeVeon Bell in the second round.
I motivated myself, Dwyer said. I made that decision back when the season was over. I started training a little earlier than I usually do. I made sure I was on my diet and getting a chef and really getting into nutrition and learning how I can help myself.http://pit.scout.com/2/1293811.html
Dwyer's job to lose. Just traded him for peanuts too :(
Dwyer...
Plodder? Check
Overweight? Check
Poor blocker? Check
Fumbling issues? Check
Doesn't play teams? Check
Premium pick spent on a rookie at his position? Check
Clearly, "Starting RB Pittsburgh" is his job to lose.
The guy is going to be lucky if he makes the team. He and Redman fill the same role(e.g. "plodding SY guy"), except Redman can block, wasn't reportedly being shopped after Bell was drafted(as Dwyer was) and isn't apparently motivated only by french fries.
The Steelers would add 1.3 million back to their salary cap if they jerk the tender to either Redman or Dwyer, so one of those guys isn't going to be kept. My money's on Dwyer being that guy.
