Clayton’s Observations: 10-2 Seahawks’ closeness stands out above everything


The flu impact

No one outside of the Seahawks’ organization realized that eight players had to battle through flu preparing for the game.

Cornerback Tre Flowers lost 12 pounds, wide receiver David Moore battled the flu but scored a big touchdown, and wide receiver Tyler Lockett has had a three-week period in which he suffered a bad leg contusion and lost maybe 10 pounds with the flu. None of the flu victims wanted to miss this game.

Now I have additional respect for Tre Flowers, dude's skinny enough so those 12lbs lost got to be all muscle. Yet he played the first 3 quarters at pretty high level.

Most of it is water because of glycogen dumping by the liver.. body doesn’t burn tissue that fast.

Anyone who's lost lots of water weight is coming into that game severely dehydrated with cramps being a major issue. Plus a guy like Flowers probably metabolizes 4,000-5,000 calories a day. If he couldn't take food in since before T-giving, he could have easily dropped at least four pounds off of whatever body fat he has.
