Daryn Colledge Fan Club

[pbmax]

I expect the club will require leather patches on the elbows, you being a colledge man and all.

Yes. However, a pipe is optional.

[retailguy]

let me know where you are meeting and I'll show up with a protest sign.

Will do.

No tomatoes.

I'm bringing snowballs in honor of the north pole.

PB is serving up free HALF POUND CHEESEBURGERS for anybody willing to join his club.

I'm only here for the cheeseburgers.

Blutarsky: Man was I wasted last night. I dreamt some guy was giving away cheeseburgers, and I was the only one who showed up to eat 'em. So I just pounded on these cheeseburgers until I was ready to puke, which was awesome.

Otto: It looks like you puked all over your new sweatshirt, Bluto...

Blutarsky: What the fuck is that? Wait, what the fuck happened last night?

[Fritz]

It's common knowledge that many people's opinions of a particular player rest on a few plays the fan sees and remembers. So if you're a wide receiver or running back or even a d-back, you can screw up very publicly - a big drop, a missed tackle on a reciever - and your rep is in the toilet thanks to one play. However, you can redeem yourself with a highlight reel t.d. catch or a big interception.

For linemen it's more difficult, I think. While you get occasional film of a blocker pancaking a linebacker, most of what you see is a guy engaging a defender and struggling and keeping him at bay. So when an offensive lineman screws up - the big last play where Colledge looked like a matador - it's hard to come back from that in terms of public perception. Cuz if he does recover and do a good job, the result is that ....nothing happens. And that's not as memorable.

So whether Colledge is better than advertised, it's going to be tough to get folks to put on the ears and join the club. Even Annette Funicello might be shirking.

I don't think Colledge is nearly as bad as popular opinion depicts. I think he could be a pretty solid guard. However, I do think its going to be hard to keep Spitz off the field.

After drafting Bugula I see the coaches giving Lang a chance to start at LG and I don't see Colledge beating him .

I like Lang at RT. Lang is unlikely to beat-out Colledge.

The little-engine-that-could had a decent year at center. But I think they let Spitz compete with him there again. If Spitz can't beat-out a very average starter, it is not so hard to keep him off the field.

Reminds me of what I read about Ryan Grant - they have to play him 'cause he leaves them no choice.

PB, I aint joining your fanclub. Colledge aint no Packer People.

He seems like the Andy Bernard of the O-Line.

The nard dog will at least make a sale when given the opportunity.

MM recently made comments how much he respects DC especially since DC has lost starting status a few times and responded positively.

The next time DC loses the job its aloha.

in other words, he tries harder after he gets benched? trying harder before he is benched and while he's still out there blocking seems a better strategy to me.

Mayybe what I read about the guy is incorrect. What I read about his attitude isn't what i want to be reading.

I admire the way Nick Collins did it.

I think Colledge will bounce back. It seemed like he gained a little weight last year that ruined some of this game a la AJ Hawk. He's prone to some antics at the line but he's a great 2nd level blocker.
