Any Idea how Issiah Wilson

superspynyg : 10/18/2021 1:11 pm
is looking and could he be ready soon to make a challenge for the active roster?

He is a first round talent, sure he may have a sack of cats in his head, but he maybe worth a shot at RT. Or is just a body with no real chance this year?

Thing we know is he came to us pushing 400 lbs. haven’t been updated on his weight loss or anything. I hope we get a look at him by years end to see what we have.
They put him on

If he turns into a player then the OL fix might

actually start to take place....finally!!!!!! Thomas, Peart and Wilson would give us 3 tackles going forward.

I wish they would quit flip flopping Peart and just leave him on the right side!
Maybe

next year, but I wouldn't be surprised if he never makes the team.
Should be soon. I hear he is in good enough shape to line up at

Right Guard and Right Tackle at the same time...
Fat

See? Now that's efficiency.
Very unlikely he sees the field this year

He’s not in football shape.
You are not seeing him

this year that is for sure.
Is the 400lbs urban legend?

How verifiable is that?

I heard he only weighs 28 stone
Reduce expectations to zero for this kid  
Dave in PA : 10/18/2021 3:39 pm : link
If he gives the franchise literally anything at all, good great grand wonderful. If he does zilch? This should not be the least bit surprising. He’s not a solution of any kind until he proves otherwise and that should not be an expectation, unless you want to add more disappointment to the already heaping pile.
I know we're all curious about his progress, but

we have no way of knowing anything about it, really. We're not in the weight room, we're not in the film room, practices are private and when there's media access, Wilson is near the bottom of the list of people and angles to cover.
if memory serves  
bc4life : 10/18/2021 5:23 pm : link
the official physical report read something like "He Fat!"

To the contrary, it sounds like he is quite literally in football shape.
keep in mind 400 pounds  
bc4life : 10/18/2021 5:34 pm : link
on a 350 start = 13% weight gain.

It's like a 150 pound guy going to 170
he's not in shape  
bc4life : 10/18/2021 5:35 pm : link
but he is a naturally huge human being
I think Sy'56 said that  
section125 : 10/18/2021 5:46 pm : link
Wilson is actually broader, bigger frame, than Becton. Think about that. If he could get to 350ish, he may be able to play. But losing 50 lbs is a crazy amount of weight to lose in a healthy fashion.
I think it’s a positive  
Dave on the UWS : 10/18/2021 5:59 pm : link
he’s still around. They said he’s been doing whatever they ask him to, and it’s been several weeks. Baby steps
