Donaldson has to be 370lbs

The OP was not an attempt to pile on Donaldson. Enos stated last week they have to play Campbell more because of Donaldson's conditioning late in games. This didn't just happen in two weeks. Where were the coaches, where were his teammates? There's a correlation between the poor play of the oline and Donaldson's conditioning. There's a reason this team is 4-4.

You gotta think that signing a kid that let himself push 4 bills isn’t going to work out. You going to pry the bacon grease flask from his hands? Anyone with that level of indiscipline and lack of self respect won’t be easy to reshape.

When everyone was gushing about Feeley during camp I kept asking to see Donaldson. That’s how I would know Feeleys the truth. But they kept him under wraps like deformed mongoloid baby.

He should be ashamed of himself. This should be a draft year and he is extremely overweight and playing poorly. At this point, I hope he does declare so we don’t waste snaps on him next year.

One of the biggest busts we have ever had based on his potential coming out of high school.

I was thinking on the stretch play where he pulled, had he been 30 pounds lighter he could have sprung Harris for a bigger gain. He wasn't quite fast enough to get the block on their CB.

His slowness caused the center not get out quicker either. This has to be on the kid! But again goes from all freshman to udfa type...#onlyatU

Feely (S&C), Bellamy (nutrition) and Barry (OL coach) can only only provide useful plans and encourage a buy in and effort. At some point the result becomes contingent upon a player doing their part. By all appearances Donaldson has not his part? Big man with raw physical talent. But this is not High School.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.

Feeley has been great for us. This is on the coaches not benching Donaldson for being incredibly out of shape - his play doesn't warrant him being an untouchable starter (otherwise you let him get away with it, as you do all the elite players).
 
Did It concern anybody else when Central missed the playoffs he came in at 380? He literally did nothing from his last game in high school till the day he stepped on campus. He gained so much weight and came in out of shape.

Although he put my concerns to rest when he had a great freshman year, but it was a bad sign that he didn’t take conditioning seriously. Seems like it happened again and he could care less.

Honestly I’m not sure if he’s that talented. Would he still have ****** bend and balance 70 pounds lighter? Idk

The staff should have been riding his a$$ this past Spring, and Summer by any means necessary. This is ridiculous and an indictment on how weak this staff is. Donaldson isn't even fit to play.

His situation is an indictment on how truly terrible this oline is. Even with him being that out of shape, lazy, fat, slow, and unmotivated, we still have nobody any better to replace his sorry ****. It's either that or our coaches are even sorrier than we think they are. It is amazing that we find ourselves in this pathetic situation for 15+ yrs. Just incredible

Refrok, Donaldson didn't wake up one morning 370 lbs. This should have been dealt with in Spring and Summer. They are bringing Campbell in to spell Donaldson because of his conditioning. All you hear from these coaches is change the culture and TNM while they trot Donaldson out there every week totally unfit to compete. Yes the coaches are that bad.
 
I wasn’t able to watch the game but was Campbell playing more than Donaldson? How was the snap count between the two?
