My Pet Peeve- Scat Backs adding weight.

I was screaming about this last spring training and with AP in Minnesota two years ago.
I was glad the M. Mosley hit the subject.

The slimmed down version of Felix Jones was impressiveJones broke three tackles on an 18-yard run he cut back to the left side. Then he looked extremely quick on a 16-yard screen pass. Left tackle Doug Free and rookie left guard David Arkin both made nice blocks on the play.

There's no way the out-of-shape Montrae Holland makes that block in space.

"He looked pretty solid to me," Free said of Arkin.

Jones added weight last season and he appeared to lose his burst. He shed at least six or seven pounds this offseason and looks a lot more explosive.
