After watching Fat Mike take a rather large step towards the end of his Buffalo Bill’s plank yesterday, I strongly suggest that TD and the rest of his scouts think twice before shopping at the University of Texas again. A factory for over-hyped, mentally soft players when considering the recent alumni list of Ricky Williams, Cedric Benson, Mike Williams, and Roy Williams, a great talent, but rumor has it the coaching staff in Detroit thinks he is soft. Granted, Derrick Johnson might break this recent trend, but lets see how the money soaks into his system. Playing at Texas is like a Muslim returning to Mecca, it doesn’t get any better for a kid from the Southwest, that even the NFL is a distant second to Austin. Couple this with $100 hand shakes at every street corner and hot Texas blondes and now we can all begin to understand Big Mike’s view of the world from his porch in bumf Texas. Why go to the gym and workout when I can drink LoneStar and eat ribs, heck that workout stuff is for them Hurricanes not us Long Horns! Guaranteed the highlight of his career is beating A&M, TCU, and Baylor, and not New England. What a joke of a draft pick!
Lastly, after watching this guy’s collapse, I wish everyone in Buffalo would stop wishing for fat slob offensive lineman, the quote un-quote “road grader.” Just like any other position in professional sports, a person is assumed to be an athlete not a grizzly bear fattening up for the winter. Compare the body types of Fat Mike and the guy ahead of him on the depth chart at left guard against the likes of Walter Jones, Jonathan Ogden, and even Mr. Peters and is there any wonder why our line has nothing on the New Orleans levee system?
I would promote the defensive secondary college scouts to also include offensive lineman as well, Ralph would love the cost savings from the reduced payroll.
