RealityCheck Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I predict that he will make the team. He may not dress for a little while but he will remain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coseybedaman Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Agreed! I see him having the same small role that Torell Troup had last year, while Troup develops this year into a full time NT I predict that he will make the team. He may not dress for a little while but he will remain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justnzane Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I am the founding member of the TBD Mike Jasper fan club Large and in Charge. I will accept applications at this point via PM, or bribes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAST MODE BABY! Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 The same fans who liked Jabari Greer and Freddy Jackson like this guy. I am looking forward to seeing him in action during the preseason. And I agree, it would be dangerous to put this kid on the waiver wire. By himself, he's a 3-man wedge on special teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Tackle eligible? ...or perhaps as a fullback! or ball carrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Rob Johnson Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) Not trying to get the hype machine rolling on this guy but it's the "planet theory" as I believe it is called? 6'4" 390lbs, 32" vertical..etc...etc??? There are literally only a handful of guys on the entire planet that can do those things. I have no idea who this Joel Bell is but 6'7" 315 is not really that out of the ordinary for an NFL football player. Not sure the comparison is even remotely valid. I think the comparison is more to fans over-hyping a developmental guy. Lonnie Harvey also comes to mind from last offseason. I hope for the best with Jasper.

John from Riverside Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 If he shows ANYTHING in practice you cannot put him on the practice squad.....his NT size and athleticsm for that spot will be too good for other 3-4 teams to pass up..... If he holds his own in camp they have to put him on the roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acantha Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) I see no reason not to be excited by this kid. It's like all the tards that find it necessary to chastise fans not to overlook a game. Who cares if I think it's an easy win? I'm not the one on the field; I'm a FAN. Same thing here. I'm psyched about Jasper and I expect him to kick butt every chance he's on the field. I'm a fan, I get to think that way. But of course we get no shortage of people that will tell me to temper my expectations cause he's a long shot.

BEAST MODE BABY! Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Also the same people who like Xavier Oman and Josh Stamer. Omar was interesting, but never produced on the field. I don't know who ever lauded the praises of Josh Stamer as an NFL caliber starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jauronimo Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I think the comparison is more to fans over-hyping a developmental guy. Lonnie Harvey also comes to mind from last offseason. I hope for the best with Jasper. I half expected Jasper to immediately prove why he played D-III ball at Bethel and look totally out of place. So I was nothing short of excited to see that the kid cleared the first hurdle and at least looked like he was worthy to stick around for another day of camp.

coseybedaman Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Its ridiculous to think this kid isnt going to play for us this year. This isn't your typical UDFA project that has a 5% chance of panning out. Our organization was watching this kid for 2 years to see how he developed, and to see how he played. They told him to lose the weight and we will draft you. He went above and beyond. He made good on his promise and the organization made good on theirs. He would have to be very very disappointing to not make the roster this year. I dont see it happening in any way. Maybe I am overconfident about Jasper, but I feel like he is our next Pat Williams. I just hope when its time to pay up we dont let him walk away like usual. Thats way down the line though. If MJ works out its just such a great story for the player, for the team, for the coaches, and for the scouts from start to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in Syracuse Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I would like to see him get down to about 360. I think with our staff and the grind of training camp he will drop some weight and be monitored on his diet. At 360 I see I real chance of making an impact. I don't see 390 cutting it. I know he is athletic but he is asking for too many health problems at this weight at an NFL level. I don't know of any 390 lb successful lineman in the NFL. Do you?

At one time in the not so distant past a 300lb O-lineman was unusual. Now it's basically the standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAST MODE BABY! Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Where are you guys getting 390 from? Last time I checked, he was around 370 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phlegm Alley Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Say, hypothetically, he goes to the practice squad. If another team wants to sign him, don't they have to put him on the 53 man roster? Mike Jasper #69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEAST MODE BABY! Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) you're about the only person I've run into who doesn't like Jackson, but your nickname could offer a clue about that. Wait, where'd you get that from??? I love F. Jackson. My post was in reference to some of us who saw greatness in Jabari and FJ when Jauron thought they'd do better on the bench. And I might have to change my name to DAREUS MODE if he keeps pancaking 323 pound lineman. Edited August 1, 2011 by BEAST MODE BABY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
