I remember watching a workout video a long time ago of Brian Cushing, Connor Barwin, and a young JJ Watt (maybe going into his second year). Watt was a big cornfed kid, but Brian Cushing was out-lifting him on everything (Cushing eventually got busted for PED's).

The point is that even Watt was getting his ass kicked in the weight room by some vets and he transformed himself into a monster. If Raimann can continue to handle the mental part, he's got similar physical potential.

It's the minutiae that isn't sexy to talk about. But you could go back and break things down and see that all of the "full rebuild" and "this team is nowhere close" talk is largely nonsense.

There's a reason why this team was the scary team in the league for a while last year. And there's a reason why virtually everyone (not just us fans blinded by bias) expected pretty big things from the team this past season.

Shit didn't work out and we have issues to fix... but a lot of those good things are still here or are coming back.
