Something I found that you might find interesting (Re: Otah)

[DaCityKats]

Since when is being educated a bad thing?

its not, but in certain situations a team might think a guy is uncoachable or a know it all.

Otah was the only o-line starter not at the kickball tournament. So he's either still injured (God help us) or Gross doesn't care for him.

He injured his Shoulder, god knows how. They are actually more worried about that then his knee right now.

Speaking of the o-line, Geoff Schwartz is a cool dude. He was randomly wandering around in the stands way before the game started talking to people.

This is sort of a weird criticism that I'd never heard of before but could Otah's injury history have contributed somewhat to Prince's fall?

If Otah is hearing this how could he not get pissed and want to prove them wrong?

On a less serious note, what about Clausen? Could his small hands have also contributed to a bias against small hands for DBs?

Whoever wrote this has never seen one of Otah's pancake blocks. Otah definitely isn't soft.

Just because you can maul someone with your big body doesn't mean you aren't soft.

You could argue Brock Lesnar is soft even though he's mauled plenty of people.

You could also be mentally soft.

Never heard this before but I have heard what DaCityKats said about some nigerians looking down on born and raised African Americans though.

Can't call a player soft unless you have been in that position before regardless of the Charmin jokes I've used before or sayin he's gimpy. Fact is not many people could withstand the pain that the game of Football takes out on your body. If he was soft he wouldn't be playing football to be honest now if we're talking kickers...

[Razzy]

BS. We live in a society where things get repeated to the point where they become truth. Race does not determine character to the slightest degree. You could argue that dominant genetics could influence personality, but there are so many other factors that it's impossible to generalize.

at this point I am open to the possibility that the guy could be soft, but not because he's nigerian.

I feel like bigger guys could be even bigger babies when it comes to injury than smaller guys in the league

Also interesting from that link...

*According to an ESPN interview with Bruce Feldman, new Cowboys linebacker Bruce Carter isn’t exactly scientific when it comes to fueling his body. He said he eats three double cheeseburgers, a medium order of fries and a six-piece order of McNuggets from McDonalds almost every day. Wow. I’ve known other athletes who have eaten similarly through the years and I always have marveled how they perform so well and look so good while eating such junk.

In the Carolinas, we like to call this the Hollis Thomas Diet :lol:

as opposed to the kris jenkins diet, which adds a fifth of tanqueray and some tissues

I think Otah plays tough he's just a fat softy off the field. Stuff like dieting and working out.

One of my buddies has a kid with a nervous habit of chewing on paper towels, napkins and tissues.

I told him he was gonna end up with irritable towel syndrome.
