Steve Spagnuolo would like to see Landon Collins lose some weight. Not everyone in his household is on board with that plan.
Maria Spagnuolo, the wife of the Giants defensive coordinator, has a habit of baking and cooking for the players and having her husband bring the goodies into the building. This week, for instance, she made some banana pudding.
I had two of them, Collins said on Wednesday. I tried to take the pan. I was kind of looking around and (Ben) McAdoo was kind of looking at me.
Had he taken the whole pan of pudding, he likely would have had more trouble getting down to the weight he hopes to be for this season. Hes currently at about 220 pounds. Last year he played at around 215. This season hed like to get to 210. Thats a weight he hasnt been at since his freshman year in college, but he believes it will help him fly around the field.
Last year he did a really good job, he kept it under the max level he was supposed to have, he did it every week, Spagnuolo said of Collins weight. I expect him to do the same thing this year. In the offseason hell probably tell you hes a little heavier than he wants to be, but hell be fine by the time he comes back (to training camp).
He should be. He wont have Mrs. Spags cooking to ruin him.
