Hes going to be real good at sidelines leap frog
Embo said something yesterday in his presser, I never thought of. All our rookies that play bball are a lot smaller than they will be once they switch to only football. Dillon may look tiny now, but I am excited to see him a year after training with coach blacken

beware the habu
Yeah, heard that too. Not unreasonable to think he could show up in Boulder around 210+. Would like to see Blacken get him up to the 225 range; with his height and frame, he can handle that.
Would like to see him be able to keep his wheels, and be up around 235. Thats Roethlisberger type size. That would be a huge change from what we have seen in the recent past. I think he could do it honestly, he has such a lanky frame right now. As soon as he starts bulking up, it won't take long.
Would like to see SD around 220-225 when he gets in competition to be the starter in the next season or two. Elway played at 215! Coach Blacken will definitely get him to gain where gains are necessary while keeping that nice arm strength and some wheels to elude defenders.

Shane reminds me a LOT of Tom Brady when first enrolling at Michigan (http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/chad-henne-tom-brady-michig.jpg). He's just got that lanky, long body that will eventually fill up a bit (Brady is around 225-ish now?). Not saying his body type is a bad thing at all, but he'll definitely need to keep adding a few pounds to absorb some hits. Good work Shane, keep it up and can't wait to see you dominating D's on the field!

Before we all start adding weight to his frame, remember that Koy Detmer played his entire career at CU under 128 pounds (though he bulked up to almost 140 in the pros). True story.
I think he'll have more of the Drew Bledsoe build.
As long as he doesn't have the Adam Bledsoe head!

Although that 20lbs was all neck beard.
All the increased head weight made him tougher to tackle.
With his build Shane may never be one of those big, stout QBs that looks like he could play LB but some extra muscle will make him more durable when getting hit and help him in shrugging off guys bumping and/or grabbing him as he is in the pocker or running.
I am very excited about having Shane on the team and see him as a guy with a very high ceiling as a player. I also like the fact that having Wood takes the pressure off of Shane to perform right away and will let him develop at his own pace which should mean a better player in the long run. I also like that every indication is that Shane is willing to do the work needed to reach that potential.

How is that not an official AllBuffs smiley?
We could get rid of about 6 that we current have that this completely replaces.
It is my sacrifice to the Junta! All praise Stoudt!

I liked the throw in "the window" at the 40 second mark, and the end zone fade around 1:56.

SD has a torn labrum and will need surgery. Fingers crossed. He should be back to full strength in 3 or 4 months.
Greaaaaaat.

Best wishes on a speedy recovery. I'm less concerned by injury in general, but really concerned by the location of his injury. Should he even have a labrum to tear?

You are thinking labia not labrum.

That's a pretty good general statement regarding me.
I had to look it up. Labrum is the ring like cartilage that surrounds the hip or shoulder socket.

3-4months? This is the same injury that most pitchers never come back from. /chickenlittle
