After training his speed for the last few offseasons, Boss Tweed focused on becoming more well rounded this offseason. His primary areas of focus were on improving his hands, endurance, and agility. After making big impact on the ground last season, Tweed is looking to become a greater receiving threat this year to expand his impact and give young quarterback Nicholas Pierno a reliable target to throw to as the Yeti have on of the league's weaker receiving groups. Tweed spent many days with a JUGS machine working on catching balls over and over again and he has refined his catching motion so he should be a more consistent receiving threat next season with less drops. He also worked with various trainers on different obstacle courses to improve his agility and make his cuts more fluid. Defenders are going to have a harder time tackling Tweed next year as he has become much more evasive than he was last season. Finally, while training in those activities, he gave himself as little rest as possible. He trained all day, every day during the off season with few breaks in between. While this philosophy may sound torturous, it had a purpose. Tweed built up his endurance by working so hard so that he will be able to deal with the heavy workload he is expecting this season. Tweed's speed training over the last two offseasons led to major improvements in his performance, we will see if his more all around focus to training this year will lead to similar results.
