Nelson Makes Early Impact

[swede]

1) I haven't been around long enough to know who Cleft Crusty is, so please excuse me if I've called him out on something that is already common knowledge to most of the other rats.

You'll have to check on his Profile and read some of his posts. I'm not sure of the real identity of Cleft, but he's a tongue-and-cheek spoof of Cliff "Uncle Cliffy" Christl (recently retired from the JSO).

*cough* greenday *cough*

I thought Cleft's secret identity was a certain rugged individualist with libertarian leanings who hasn't been posting for a long while, but I asked some guy named Atlas and he just shrugged.

As far as I know Cleft (the cyberspace doppelganger for Cliff Christl) is the only sanctioned double identity in the forum, and I thought his post in this thread was hilarious given the way the normally underwhelmed Cliffy gushed and gushed about Jennings every time he got in front of a microphone during the training camps of Jennings rookie year.

That said, I am stoked about Nelson. He's gonna be like a football version of Larry Bird in that people are going to ask how a white dude got to be that good at a position that requires a buttload of fast twitch..

I know this is completely off-topic, but speaking of white dudes, are the Packers unique in that they have an all-white starting offensive line?

No.

Damn let's not go there.

Comparing Nelson to Greg Jennings at this point is ridiculous. Jennings is proven. Lets get real.

I agree, he needs to be hurt in at least 2 NFL training camps to be proven injury prone.

OLine is the last bastion of White Boys's.

I don't know how many NFL teams have all white OL's, but there has to be a couple - three.

NE fer instance?

I'm still trying to figure out why a lot of great DE's are Whities

New England, Cleveland, and Green Bay as it stands right now.

Agreed we are on DANGEROUS turf here, but wasn't Indy a caucasoid OL last season.?

How'd you figure that out so fast, Harve?

Google won't do something like that, will it?

No. I play in a Madden-esque type football league, and we have OL on the team, so I'm pretty aware of the starting lineups for every team. I sort of have a photographic memory when it comes to stuff like this. I can look at a depth chart or read an update on a player, and it just kind of sticks with me. It's a blessing and curse.


I knew New England was one team. Then, I thought about the other teams. For example, I thought of Dallas and Flozell Adams, Washington and Chris Samuels, etc. It came down to a few teams that I wasn't sure about. After looking at the depth chart on Yahoo of those teams, it turns out Cleveland was the only other team.

Where can I get a peek at that photo of Driver and Nelson? It would be fun to compare them side by side?

BTW, when does TC start? I will be in GB this summer up to August 9th...

Welcome to the forum, Pugger.

Well, there's this pic from page 2 of the OTA May 21 thread:



Judging from this pic, the hyperbole regarding Jordy's size vis-a-vis Driver seems misplaced. They look to be about the same, especially when you consider that Jordy is a little closer to the camera. Anybody who has ever held a fish away from his/her body when taking pictures of that day's catch knows that optical delusion.

Hey Pugger, be welcomed! Great to have you on board!!

Ya, the fat white boys seem to do well there. Which makes me wonder why there aren't more of them playing DT? A few classed as nose tackles, but not many defensive tackles.

BTW a google of nosetackle brings up this great old article about Gilbert Brown. LOVE that suit he's wearing!
