Unleash the Bumble. Let’s see what he can do. He’s got Flax ass for at least 5 years.

Most of us just refer to him as Ozzie, but whatever floats your boat.

I think the jets and the steelers have all their picks signed too

Correct
I edited the line to read, “…one of the first organizations…”

Can't wait
to see this big muppet play!

Cant wait to see him in the pre-season games!
I wonder if they keep him on the field for more plays than the rest of the “starters.”

I heard an interview with Shaun Tuohy
Michael’s father and he said he is in amazing shape. He said he is at 5% body at over 300lbs. I don’t believe that but if he is anywhere close, my god. Talk about a physical specimen. It looks like we have two stud tackles to protect Joe for the next 5+ years. How’s that for replacing J.O.?

I heard that interview as well
Funny how he’s referred to as his “father,” which I guess makes sense as he did pretty much raise him. Doubtful about the 5% body fat comment as well, but when I saw him at OTA’s, he had no belly fat like most OT’s, including Gaither. Like to see a photo of him and the Bengals #1 pick, OT Andre’ Smith (the guy who ran his 40 shirtless, with his man-boobs flopping all over the place-disturbing). Classic difference between two organizations in that comparison!

C'mon
He’s got 15 pounds of fat in each one of those chubby chipmonk cheeks of his!

I wouldn't go that far
He is clearly over 5% body fat, but I would bet that he has one of the lowest BF%‘s of any O-Lineman in the NFL. Considering most rookies come in with baby fat, that’s pretty damn impressive.
by DT711 on Jul 30, 2009 1:20 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I know
I was just joking – thought that was clear. I just looked at some picks from OTA’s and he really does look like a very trim 300+ lbs, especially in the belly.
But seriously those cheeks, I just wanna squeeze ’em!

Sun reporting..

Finally
You can tell he didn’t want to have a hold out. It’s really important that we had him signed because he means A LOT to our O-Line.

5% body fat
Just salivate over the possibilities. He could report in games as reciever eligable a couple dozen times. Imagine the YAC when he’s one on one with corners.
OK I get a little sarcastic when I been drinking but it would be a entertaining play (even realistic ) to see him grab a pass on like 2’nd & medium. Have a nice weekend all.

They deserve it
as much as any players’ parents. Look what they did for the kid, as you can imagine what might have become of him w/o their stepping in to raise him as well as they obviously did.
Happy for them all and can’t wait to see the movie!

i heard they kept him in the basement with a rusty Bow Flex and fed him aged turnips.
by raven on Jul 30, 2009 9:45 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Actually
it’s said that aged turnips are full of protein. See when it ages, the amount of calories initially stored in it are released in a carbonic gas and it frees up the amount of protein which expands on the amount of molecules and atoms floating in the core. Sometimes the amount of pesticides sprayed on certain turnips can also impact the amount of nutrients stored inside of it, so that’s where he must have gotten that big body mass and BMI of his.
It’s actually probably a good idea to eat aged turnips, I think I’m going to try it and see if I can bulk up like him.

Have you ever actually been to Baugers and picked their fruit? I mean, there stuff is insanely good, especially since they don’t spray anything on it, so you can eat it right then and there…I believe?
Anyways, Plum Crazy Diner is amazing…I’ll be there after Training Camp.

I believe that
the Ravens are only one of three teams that have signed all their draft picks. I think the big hold up for teams is that with the Union/Owners issues coming up, nothing has been running to smoothly across the league. I think this is kid is going to be a freaking stud!

Hooked it, fought it for about 20 minutes, my friend netted it, got it in the boat and I proceeded to hit it over the head with a paddle close to 100 times. It was still moving 15 minutes later.

our line
As big and athletic as these young guys we are getting on the line, even if we had a team full of #1 WRs teams may want to keep their Ds at home because they know they can’t stop the run. When we had JO and J Lewis or anyone for that matter in the backfield they couldn’t stop us. Just imagine Oher and McClain blocking for two mobile blockers and Rice following them and finding his lane…
We will do fine with what we have…
