Spring Practice Updates?

[tgolden]

From the limited video that I have seen of him, Kallen Wade seems to be slowed-up considerably (esp. in comparison to his recruiting vids). In yesterday's press conference, Coach Weis was answering a question on Wade sizing-up (I didn't hear the question very well); coach was saying that he can carrying some extra weight. Has Wade bulked-up considerably from the 240lb level that shows up on the roster??

When he was recruited, I liked his speed coming off of the edge; I thought that he would be a good fit for one of the OLB spots in the 34. However, now Wade seems to be getting built-up for a DE role. Is it just me, or does he seem to be struggling with his footspeed right now???

obviously the coaches no better than I, but I wish they would have left his weight alone and moved him to OLB. maybe this will work out for him in the long run, but I agree that he doesn't look that quick right now. and the problem is, at the moment, he still isn't heavy enough to have a size advantage, and now he seems to be getting too heavy to have too much of a speed advantage.
