A couple quotes from KFz that I read today:
"
Daniels and Wadley have driven this thing.
“We’re fine just keeping this thing low keyed right now, but I think both of them are really having good years and they’re both playing well,” Ferentz said. “LeShun is a senior. You really hope for that and expect that from your oldest players. The big thing is he’s been healthy. He’s staying healthy and really doing a good job, but he’s improved, too. He really works at it.
“And I’d say the same thing about Akrum. He’s really grown a lot in this past 15, 14 months, and I think he’s really made some nice strides. You know, it’s still out there for him. He can still get better. So can LeShun, so that’s good, but they both work at it really hard, and they both like football.”
The second one:
This is where Ferentz cringes a little bit. Wadley doesn’t have a “between the tackles” build. After the Purdue game, Ferentz mentioned the weight thing with Wadley. Remember, that was part of what gave coaches pause during the early stages of Wadley’s career. He couldn’t maintain his weight. Apparently, he’s still working on that.
“When he gets over 1-9, I’m going to give him a hug and smile and say really nice things about him,” Ferentz said. “When he gets over 190, I’ll be signing his praises. He’s not there yet, but he’s doing a good job, playing well.”
Wadley copped to that.
“My weight is inconsistent right now,” he said. “I’ll get back on track.”
