papasmurfbell Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 Hollywood is 23 pounds heavier than last yr. I think the foot is 100 now and we will see what he can really do. Quote
vmax Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 23 pounds! That will have to slow him down some even with his foot being 100%. Quote
vmax Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 He says it hasn't slowed him down but he's not as fast as he was in college.... Quote Marquise "Hollywood" Brown is obviously stronger and bigger than last season, but that does not mean he has gotten slower. One of the NFL's fastest players, Brown says he has maintained his speed despite adding muscle to his frame. He was the Ravens' most dynamic deep threat last season and has maintained his ability to strike quickly on any play. "I got the Ravens to send me a GPS tracker down to make sure I was still at top speed," Brown said. "Even my first day running, not even going top speed, I matched my highest speed since I've been with the Ravens. I was pleased to hear that. I just had to make sure it was still there." "Everything with gaining weight was keeping my speed and getting faster. I put together a good regimen with the running. It wasn't just like I put the weight and tried to get out there and start running. It took time for the weight to stick on me. I was gaining, losing. It started sticking around June." Brown always seems to have an extra gear when it comes to speed. When asked if he is now as fast as he was in college, he smiled. "I didn't get there yet," Brown said. "I haven't touched that."....https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/news-notes-marquise-hollywood-brown-has-already-hit-last-year-s-top-speed Quote
papasmurfbell Posted August 6, 2020 Author Posted August 6, 2020 Muscle mass doesnt always mean less speed. It depends how you work out. Quote
oldno82 Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 And from what I've seen, it sure looks like muscle. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted August 6, 2020 Author Posted August 6, 2020 With the workouts I ave seen on vid its muscle. Quote
vmax Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 OK...then he's chiseled like me..... "He'll be fine." Quote
tsylvester Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 I still worry about that foot, they are career shortening type injuries Quote
papasmurfbell Posted August 7, 2020 Author Posted August 7, 2020 They should be able to get a good 10 yrs out I think. Quote
tsylvester Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 Maybe with him, but he relies on quickness, especially in & out of breaks, then explosion into his speed. That puts a lot of pressure on the foot. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted August 7, 2020 Author Posted August 7, 2020 I would expect the surgery was done well. With the right shoes and attn paid to his feet he should be fine. Quote
