Speaking of the #Bears: They still want to re-sign DE Israel Idonije and are trying to do so. Must fight off the #49ers to make it happen

Hate to see David Boston 2.0
Haha, that is a pretty good example of a guy hitting the gym too hard and losing the agility, flexibility, and range of motion to play his position.
I was just thinking how ridiculous it would be to see a QB get as big as Boston was... that guys throwing motion would be goofy as hell, haha.
Good. Clean lifts. As long as he's not maxing out on those, clean lifts are good.
Just as long as he's avoiding too many chest & arm workouts. I've seen too many weight lifters screw their shoulders up.
Kaep shouldn't be working out so much. The dude is big enough. What is the point, what is he trying to achieve as a QB?
If anything he should spend more time on the mental part of the game, so he can come out of the gates faster. The only thing I can knock Kaep on is he comes out in game slowly, and usually starts peaking in the 2nd half. That's all mental.
The dude is plenty big enough, strong enough, fast enough.
How much time is he spending working on the mental part of the game?
I also agree he shouldn't work out so much. Same goes for the rest of the team. They're all big enough. How much bigger does Iupati need to be? He should stop working out so much too.
Iupati's job the majority of the time is to push 300+ pound DL men out of the way to clear lanes for the RB. So I don't mind him working out as much as he likes to. You don't hear coach Harbaugh telling Iupati to stop working out.... but you do hear him telling Kaep not to get too jacked up.
I'd rather read news about Kaep studying the game like an obsessed maniac to the extent that someone like Peyton Manning does, rather than reading about him being obsessed with pumping iron. Maybe he does both? I don't know.
Kap, in a recent interview said the most underestimated part of his game is his mental strength - so I think we're good.
I believe it, the media gushed over Alex Smith and the 40 he got on the wonderlic. They always brought it up to say that he is a really smart guy. Kaep got a 37 and they almost never mention it.
But you know, maybe they always did that because they wanted to say something nice about Smith's game. With Kaep his athleticism and play on the field give them plenty to talk about so they don't need to dig deep to the wonderlic to say nice things.
