Kyle Moore Lost Some Fat
April 8th, 2010
For some strange reason the Mad Twitterer, aka Rick Stroud of the St. Pete Times, finds it storyworthy to tell Bucs fans that Kyle Moore is 16 pounds lighter than he was four months ago.
And the Mad Twitterer informs us that Moore really wants to get sacks next year and play the entire season.
Joe finds it stunning that the Mad Twitterer thinks Moore’s weight deserves of a few hundred words on TampaBay.com, yet explaining how he knows Bruce Allen wouldn’t give up a second round pick for Brett Favre is only worthy of one sentence on Twitter.
Fascinating.
Joe’s happy that Moore is feeling fit. But Joe really isn’t impressed when a 23-year-old, near 300-pound defensive end drops a few pounds he put on after college.

It’s my understanding that he was told to gain the weight in order to fit better into Bates’ system, and that he’s now losing the weight to fit Raheem’s system and to get back to a more natural playing weight. Thus the significance of the news would be a) to prove once again that Bates’ system was a bad fit, b) to demonstrate that Moore is a team player and willing to bulk up or slim down as the coaches desire, and c) to suggest he may have a more productive season playing at a weight he’s naturally suited to and in a system more fitting for his playing style.
… And I think the fact I’m gleaning so much from it proves it’s the offseason!

The only thing worse than writing an article about a defensive lineman shedding a few pounds is writing and article about someone writing an article about a defensive lineman shedding a few pounds.

Nice to hear.
This means he should take up a little less space where he sits at the end of the bench….
