Lomax to Green 84
Hall of Famer
I am just curious how Anthony Clement looked and if anyone can give me a comparison to last years training camp. Last year I had a chance to talk to Anthony quite a bit about his new look and why he had lost so much weight. I joked with him that he looked more like a basketball player than an offensive tackle and he said that he had purposely gotten down to around 318 pounds to help with his quickness.
I thought Clement looked too skinny last year and that the drastic loss of weight may have contributed to the triceps tear in some way. Sometimes when guys try to cut up they are more prone to injuries because they simply don't have the mass that they used to have to help cushion some of the impact. I commented to my brother that he looked alot smaller in the arms and shoulders and maybe the weight loss caused him to lose upper body strength which may have contributed to the triceps tearing under the extreme stress of playing O-Tackle.
I wonder if the trainers and coaches advised him to put some weight back on. He may be a bit large at 360, but I think he is much better at 335-340 than at the 318 he had gotten down to last season.
