At least 90% of sumo affletes if not higher will lose their ambition to stay in shape after they get their millions... Heck, many sumo's can't even be bothered to get in better shape for the combine and that still has almost NO effect (unless they are White) on their future "potential" in the eyes of the drafting experts. Yeah, a lazy sumo is going to improve his work ethic after they make him rich and even less incentive to get motivated, riiiiiiiight...

Thats because hes not going to test out more athletically than the guys that have 20 to 30 pounds on him. The dude is only 280 pounds yet one of the highest rated TACKLES.

He will be an absolute bust! Literally a terrible NFL player.<div>
</div><div>If scouts wanted to see a world-class athlete playing OT, look no further than Joe Thomas of the Cleveland Browns. Could have participated in the shot-put at the Olympics if he had focused on that in college. Good speed, great vertical for his size. If he played DE he would also be one of the best in the entire NFL.</div>

Joe Thomas is the best tackle in the NFL and should be the measuring stick I agree. Thankfully there IS one tackle in this draft of the same mold who will likely be that franchise tackle for a team over the next decade: Gabe Carimi. Unfortunately he's un-affletic so the caste clowns have been working doubletime to drop his stock but to no avail. Carimi along with Solder will make two teams VERY happy.

The NFL did its damn near best to pollute the combine with affletic sumos this year. No doubt these bums will not be worth the money they will be paid to play football. One of the worst years I can remember. It like Florida sent 4 sumos to the combine but a school like Wisconsin only sent 2 top notch offensive linemen that are well disciplined and can run block. There is an obvious agenda. Just look at the lists for 40 times or bench press. Sumos everywhere..

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Nate Solder has the fastest 40 time for offensive linemen at the Combine with a 4.97.

Solder ran a 5.05. Syracuse center Bartholomew ran a 4.97 i believe.

I cant remember his name but a white lineman ran a 4.93 the other day. They said he had converted from linebacker.


It was Jason Kelce out of the University of Cincinnati.

I think UGA OL Clint Boling ran a 5.2 40 y/d with a 31" vertical & 28 reps of 225 (at 6'5 308).

Kris Jenkins has retired from the NFL

He seemed nice enough when I've seen him speaking on "First Take" -- but I didn't like how the MSM overrated him during the latter part of his career (his true sumo-phase).

Some would probably say that it's injuries that caused him to "bulk-up," but, more likely, it's poor habits that are responsible. And those poor habits look to have aged him by several years.

Extra-large overrated super sumo Bryant McKinnie was just released by the Vikings because he was much fatter and out-of-shape than usual. I guess we can chalk this one up to the lockout where fat lard-asses like Bryant didn't have mandatory physical activities and could just sit around eating boxes of honey-buns.

He came in weighing 400lbs which is around 65 lbs over the weight he played at last season. Not even black supermen can overcome that much weight gain when it comes to making a team. I suppose we'll hear about this clown in 10 years or so when he has a massive heart attack.

You just gotta feel bad for Joe Flacco. The Ravens are signing super-fat-overrated-sumo Bryant McKinnie. Yes, the same fatso that ballooned to over 400 pounds this off-season on his diet of fried chicken and honey buns. I'll bet that if Brett Favre reads the news, he'll send a condolences card to Flacco, as McKinnie almost got Favre killed last year.

It's the Ravens' sumo-line that's been holding the team's offense back, but the MSM chooses to "blame Flacco." It's disgusting. Name one "affletic QB" that would be even close to Flacco's production in that offense/behind that porous line.. just one?

The media's pro-sumo propaganda gets hollower by the day..



Fantasy Analysis

Austin missed his senior season of college in 2010 because of the NCAA violations that he and several players committed while in school at North Carolina. Now an injury will cause him to sit out for a second straight season. Austin has all the raw talent in the world as a DT, but Fantasy owners should not consider him to be an option in any format until he regains his health.

"Mount Bloaty" needs to be about 290-300.

I don't think it matters what weight he is, he will be fat. Cody is 6'4 so he shouldn't look like that being that at 335 pounds. Ngata is 6'4 330 pounds

I can't think of any White linemen that are over 330 at a similar height, if they are 320+ they are usually 6'6 or taller. I mean Jake Long is 6'7 and like 317 pounds, doesn't need all of that extra weight to have the strength.

I think our biggest guy (height/weight ratio) is Kelly Gregg, coincidentally the guy that Cody is trying to replace. Gregg was 6'0 320 pounds, but a different build.

I mean totally different builds, Cody still looks like a big pregnant woman. His fat is ridiculous even when you compare him to other sumos like Casey Hampton and Vince Wilfork. They might be carrying too much fat along their waist but they still have a different build about them, both would probably look more like Gregg if they weren't carrying extra fat, but Im not sure if blacks can just be naturally big without carrying a certain amount of body fat. There are a few exceptions like Suh but it is rare. It has been said that with the weight loss, Cody has been having a hard time staying upright, getting knocked down more when being blocked, so it looks like he lost a good deal of muscle along with fat to get down to 335.
