Rams picking up Emmanuel Forbes on waivers

Was he drafted out of an Ethiopian university?

I call bullshit this dude ever hit 180. He's lucky he's tall at least. Hopefully he gels in our system and can use that speed to his advantage.

He looked bigger in that interview 4 months ago. Guess he couldn't keep the extra weight on.

Hopefully he gets in our cafeteria and can use that food to his advantage.



Edit: We need to bring in Kelvin Benjamin to be this guy's personal food/fat receiver coach.
Bring in Jameis Winston to encourage Forbes to Eat the W . . . and other things.

How is it possible to be 4 inches taller than Tutu and almost the same weight?!? Tutu is already the slightest NFL body I've ever seen.

 

[RamFanWA]

In high school he also played QB....
No telling what position he could be lined for...

 

[Ram Ts]

That’s NOT Forbes - it’s a skeleton!

Somebody give that man a sandwich or 2! He looks famished, dayum!

He's hungry for INTs. Ain't been getting fed lately. Time for him to change that.

Looks closer to 165 than 180. But if he can help the Rams I don’t care if hes blind out one eye and can’t see out the other.

 

[Pupped]

Woof….
He makes Durant look thick..

Don't skip leg day bro.....

I was so perplexed by this that I actually googled it for my own piece of mind lol. Apparently it's a myth that some people just can't gain weight. They just tend to genuinely have lower appetites than most people or are more active than most. So I don't know why tutu and Forbes aren't on a 5500 calorie diet so they can gain some weight.

I dunno. When i was cycling and really working out hard, at 6’2” I struggled to break 160 and I would eat an entire 18” pan pizza from Shakey’s Pizza (old SoCal pizza chain) almost every night since i worked there with mojo potatoes. Just dinner was over 4000 calories. Granted I cycled about 300 miles a week and did other workouts, but still.

Maybe my aerobic output was too high and I wasn‘t doing enough anaerobic exercise. I was broker than broke back then so i couldnt afford protein powders (and it was the 80s, they sucked)

Now I look at a donut and gain ten pounds…LOL. Caught up to me!

You beat me to it.

 

[HE WITH HORNS]

About 10 years ago, I was down to 140 pounds after I cut out carbs almost entirely. At 6' tall.
This was just from running 1 mile a day.
Some people just have super fast metabolism.

 

[dang]

Went into college 5’10 150 lbs. came out 5’11 145. Attributed it to a strict liquid diet (mostly Busch and Natty Bohs).

I dunno about this guy. Haven't watched him play but what I am reading is not encouraging. But defense in the NFL is so scheme, system, and coaching dependent. We need CB help badly and this guy is not far removed from widely being seen as one of the best CB prospects in his draft class. It would not be at all shocking if he manages to carve out a role for himself. Less likely success stories appear every year around this league when players see a change of scenery. This is a pretty low risk move. Let's see what he can do!

I don't mind picking up the contract at all considering the state of our secondary. Who knows. Everyone is looking at the dead cap if we want to cut him. If he ends up having a great turnaround and meeting his draft day expectations, the contract becomes a massive bargain, it cuts both ways.

Maybe he didn’t fit what Dan Quinn liked in a DB. If you go by the type of players on the Legion of Boom defense, it would seem he prefers bigger, thicker and more physical corners. Forbes would struggle to play that way.

A myth? I’ve been between 155-165 my entire adult life. I worked out in the winter months and landscaped the rest of the year. I ate more food than anyone I knew. My friends always joked that I should weigh 300 pounds. I never got fat and it was difficult to add any muscle mass. My metabolism didn’t slow down until I hit my mid 40’s.

Whoever said that’s some people can’t gain weight is a myth, needs to do more research.
