Why the fascination with Owen Schmitt?


Recommended Posts

Pro Football Weekly said he got manhandled (their words not mine) at the Senior Bowl when he tried to block LB's in a traditional scheme (ie not the spread they ran at WVU). Said he was too often the "nail not the hammer". Guess we will see.

 

Seems like a good character guy and a leader -- but if you can't play -- you can't play. The Seahawks obviously think he was worth a pick...

 

He didn't even play at the Senior Bowl because of a knee injury.

I wanted to draft him for the following reasons:

 

1. We could have gotten a starter for a fifth round pick, and he seemed to be the best FB in the draft.

 

2. He has a mohawk and breaks facemasks. Seriously, that's just f---in cool.

 

We definitely got a starter for the STs.....After all we lost several key starters in ST this FA.

Isn't he the guy who was banging his helmet on his head during an ESPN Thursday night game last year? Man, that's all I need to know....what a warrior.

Then you will love the guy we picked in FA from Army!

I have read through most of the posts about the players we took yesterday and today, and it seems that in every single thread, there are 2 or 3 people who say "should have taken Schmitt". I really have to laugh at all of these people who think a marginally talented fullback will transfrom this offense into the second coming of the K-Gun.....Yeah, I know the guy is "blue collar"...lol.....and btw.....love all of the "wallers" who literally come out of the woodwork for the draft and have nothing but dismal posts for every pick we made! :beer:

 

It very much reminded me of all the man love for Nugent a couple of years ago. I seem to remember a whole lot of people upset we didn't pick a KICKER in the 2nd round
