DK having knee surgery

Is the sport's writer that wrote that article a sport's physiologist? it also said within the article: "Austrian bodybuilder Andreas Munzer died in 1996. When an autopsy was performed on him, it was determined that his body fat percentage had hovered near zero."

It's definitely possible, I am just going by what they determined at the combine.

The Bod Pod, which the combine uses to measure body fat, has a margin of error of between +/- 3%

Meaning that DK coud be as high as 4.5%.

Still ridiculous, but not lethal.

That would also have been his peak conditioning in preparation for the combine. I highly doubt he has ever played at that level.

 

[McGruff]

The first article basically states that under 2%, the body organs cannot function.

It's not just bad. Its lethal.

+/- 3% of 1.9%. Could be as high as 2.2% or as low as 1.6%

Listen, I've had people following him from Day 1, we've got him on tape, film, and audio. I even rented one of those parabolic things to record his conversations. I'm telling you he is a psycho workout-fiend!

Really? Then why aren't all those body builders dead. You can function at very low body fat numbers, it's just very dangerous for health and injuries.

Thank you for helping me make my point.

Bod Pod? (Whole-Body Air-Displacement Plethysmography)

advantages: high level of accuracy, ease-of-use, and fast test time. Compared to underwater weighing, the Bod Pod does not require getting wet, and is well suited for special populations such as children, obese, elderly, and disabled persons.

disadvantages: The BodPod unit is very expensive ($30,000 - $40,000) and only a few facilities have it. Some research or academic institutions may offer tests for a fee.

accuracy: The manufacturers indicate that the general error range of the BOD POD is 1-2% (the same as hydrostatic weighing).

No one doubts that.

They dont sustain it. Just like Metcalf.

Could be attributed to enlarged heart and things also that had to do with Steroids, but lets not even think about that stuff, the Powdered supplements I have seen these guys put down and you can tell because they get rashes and break out a lot.

Back to the topic...When Carroll says Metcalf should be back by week one...in " Carroll Speak " that usually means that the player will be out far longer than predicted . That being said ; Metcalf was hyped off the charts early on and now we see that he couldn't get through the summer without a " procedure " and down time . He will miss valuable play time in pre-season and will be far behind the other rookies when the final cuts happen . He most likely makes the " 53 " without doing a damn thing ; and other rookies that worked their tails off and stayed healthy will be cut to make room for him . I hope that he comes back and becomes the monster that some think he might be ; but I will root for other rookies like Ferguson & Ursua that are actually doing something to warrant making the team . IMO

So it's somehow his fault he's injured? And he somehow isn't working hard? Because I'm sure the fans know how hard or not a player has worked. Got it.
It's gonna' be ok. Drama town...…. :lol:

Did I say it was his fault ? I am saying that he will make the team on virtually no merit ; only the hype from fans like you .

What has Metcalf done to warrant making the team at this point in time ? He will be selected to the 53 only by hopeful projected performance and nothing else . He will get a hall pass .

 

[SoulfishHawk]

You can't actually be serious. The fact that he's a beast and was taken in the 2nd round for his 1st round talent. But go ahead and turn on a guy before he even gets a chance to get rolling. The NFL is full of guys who get hurt before their 1st ever game in the NFL, often FOR THE ENTIRE SEASON. But somehow, it's not ok for DK to miss any time. :roll:

Not sure why that's an issue. Most rookies aren't ready to contribute and make the team based on potential and low cost. Collier has done even less and will make the team for the same reasons.

With rookies its always about what they can become not what they are.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

An even better point right there. The percentage of rookies that truly contribute in year 1 on a consistent basis is pretty low. It takes awhile to adjust to the speed of the NFL. Makes me think of Golden Tate, he was completely lost at times his first season. Took him a long time to get rollin, look at the career he has had. I just don't get the bashing of a player for getting injured, as if he wanted it happen or something. Tough crowd to say the least.
Might miss a game or two = bust.

You are missing the point.

Hes been working TOO hard

He needs to chill out.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Fair enough, but good luck telling an athlete to work less on their craft, lift less weights etc.

Never at any point in professional sports history have player's workload, diet, exercise regimen, training, recovery and mental fitness been more micro-managed and monitored by not only their team's trainers and staff..............but their own stable of agents, trainers, personal chefs and nutritionists.

This is football. Guys get hurt. We don't need to act like we know better than the dozens of VERY smart people around DK when it comes to his training or appropriate body fat percentage.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I guess I'm just shocked at how quickly people turn on a player and/or just go in to the "he's injury prone" thing. Or "he's a bust of a wasted pick" off of one injury in pre-season. Geez man, relax and give the guy a chance.
When he got drafted, most of us were stoked. Shoot, it just makes me want him to succeed more after hearing some people bag on the guy already.

Who said he is injury prone ? Who said he is a bust or wasted pick ? You're making stuff up now . Explain to me why he should make the team as a starter . His combine performance and lack of body fat don't count . His college career wasn't exactly that stellar either. According to Carroll it's all about competing to make the team . Veteran starters get a pass to start again ; but Metcalf is a rookie that will make the roster apparently without competing for the job . IMO it's not fair to the other rookies that have to fight for a job . So once again ; tell me why he deserves to make the 53 .
