Bears' offensive lineman raves about the new approach to practice and weight loss
Cody Whitehair addressed the media Wednesday and talked about his body transformation and the way the practices are being run.
First of all, he was asked about the very intense approach Matt Eberflus brings to practices and he couldn't help but smile. He mentions that the Bears are a very young team and that he enjoyed the physical aspect. This has not been the culture around this organization and he is happy that finally, he has someone (Eberflus) who get's how it's done.
Whitehair also looked like he slimmed down from last season. He mentioned that he lost 10 pounds thanks to conditioning and he now stands at about 306 pounds. Cody was already a very agile lineman and we could see him being even faster with the trimmed-down weight.
He also mentioned that the new offense should be a perfect fit for his playing style. The plan is to implement the wide zone scheme under Luke Getsy, a system based on running the football. It demands linemen that are smart, mobile, and physical. All things Whitehair is known to have in his arsenal.
