On McKnight
Some of you caught that Pete Carroll said Joe McKnight's gained 20 pounds since he arrived at USC. The weight gain is an attempt to become an every-down back.
Remember Reggie Bush eventually increased his weight to 200 pounds and still had critics who said he was not an every-down back. The key for McKnight will be to gain weight without sacrificing his quickness.
...riiiight. I think Reggie bumping up to 200 lbs. worked out all right for him.
The Downtown Athletic Club in New York seems to think the same thing.
