Posted Aug 5, 2012
Q: How big was the emphasis in the off-season to be in better shape? James Hurst: “I think everyone knows that we’re going to be going at a higher pace and to do that we need to be in better shape. A lot of the offensive linemen were struggling with weight problems and we addressed that early and I think that’s going to pay off. I know lot of the guys are happy at where they are.” (Carolina Blue)
