I can’t believe what I just saw over on PFT. Apparently, Titans running back coach Ernest Byner is afraid that Lendale White is too light! Yea, the same Lendale White who never saw a donut that he didn’t like.
That was cautiously asked by Titans running back coach Earnest Byner, who compares White’s weight loss to a similar part of Byner’s career.
“I lost too much weight and people were able to topple me and knock me over a little too easy. I think those are things [White] needs to be aware of and make sure his strength is still good.”
White has famously lost more than 30 pounds this offseason as he heads into a contract year. Byner’s point may seem crazy, but maybe it’s crazy like a fox.
Yea, I just can’t buy that. There are a ton of backs in the league who weigh less than White that get by just fine in short yardage situations. Instead of being big, they simple sqaure their shoudlers and drive their legs. I think that having White in better shape will make him more versatile and therefore more valuable to his team.
