Have to think Woo is a nickname.

 

Who would name their kid Woo ?

 

"Hey Woo clean your room !"

"Hey Woo do your homework!"

I know someone who named there kid no‘Andre 

 

because she said she knew he would be bad and saying no all the time … so she called him No, Andre!

The opposition would just audible and throw right at him if he were on the field nowadays

 

Just like the guy who posted he's been dying for Beane to Draft a "big tub of goo" DT for years - positions like these are a thing of the past. The game has gotten much more complex and the players are much more athletic.

Yeah- that’s my boy dareustein-  we had some fun Von Miller Vs Marcel Dareus debates draft debates.

One UFDA makes it every 3 years or so… might be due

 

 

Used to be a lot more than that before our roster was so good.

 

And it's worth remembering that an awful lot of NFL players are UDFAs. It changes year to year but here are a couple of articles about it from different years (2019 and 2022) and I threw in the All-UDFA historical team for good measure:

 

https://nfldraftdiamonds.com/2019/09/undrafted-2/#:~:text=The NFL has always been,called in the NFL Draft.

 

https://nfldraftdiamonds.com/2022/09/undrafted-free-agents-2/#:~:text=23 percent of the NFL are Undrafted Free Agents | It keeps growing

 

https://www.nfl.com/photos/nfl-s-all-time-undrafted-team-0ap3000000567319#:~:text=There are nearly 500 undrafted,Fame who also went undrafted.

 

 

 

Most of these guys don't amount to anything.

 

Sometimes, though, they do.

Not at all. 

 

Unlike giant MLBs who can't defend the pass, big tub of goo DTs are alive and well and common in the NFL these days. They aren't paid as much as they used to be, and they're often drafted in the 5th or later, but there are plenty of them getting a bunch of snaps every year.

 

Look at Siaki Ika. Brodric Martin. Keondre Coburn, who went to the Chiefs.

 

The Bills wanted one this year, to platoon behind big Da'Quan. But Beane said things didn't fall right.

that seems uncommon. Many teams must have wanted him. Apparently that elite ST post was legit. Bills suddenly going massive with 6’4 & 6’6 WRs

 

can this guy replace Taiwan Jones and Siran Neal on ST + bring value as a redzone option?


Yeah, block some kicks!  You fellow old-timers should remember 6-10 Morris Stroud of the Kansas City Chiefs, who would stand in front of the goal posts to block kicks.   Because of him, they don’t allow it anymore.

He also said that he was working the phones for a vet

 

I’m not sure if that meant at edge or dt

Taking bets on which one will be this season’s TCH (training camp hero) … I say Mims 😂

 

There's always going to be that one RB who looks like a 1,000-yard rusher but won't make a team because he can't block and might get his QB killed.  I know nothing about Mims, but we're gonna have at least one of those guys in camp every year.
