I want Bo Jackson to return. BO KNOWS!!!!!

[quote=Buster;780502]I think you're all making way too much of his prior mental issues. As far as I've seen, they're way in the past and its all behind him. He seems like a competent person now.

As for physical requirements...he is kicking butt in MMA matches, I think he could still take the punishment. Too bad he indicated he wants to play for Atlanta.[/quote]


Shoot, you'd have to be crazy to play special teams!

We could use a nasty special teamer who doesn't block people in the back all the time.

Amen!

Herschel might get unnecessary roughness/headshot penalties though!

Ain't it the truth!

Re: Herschel walker wants NFL return!!!
 

I bet without the block-in-the-back penalties on Banks' returns, we'd be at least 8-8. It definitely cost us 1 game, 2 I really think.

One of those calls was questionable at best.

Agreed, but even so, our players should have more dicipline not to do anything that looks like a block in the back. Banks doesn't need the help.

[quote=freddyg12;780375]Herschell was a great college player, and a pretty good nfl player too, but that seems overshadowed by his workouts/physical shape & the minnesota trade.

[B]I know someone says he runs a 4.38. Bet that was hand timed & if went to the combine he would be closer to 4.6[/B]. He would have to be slower in terms of quickness & reflexes. IT would be interesting to see how he could stack up now, but I don't think it's realistic that he could make a team. His best bet would be fullback, but he was never a good blocker.[/quote]

Was that a guess? It's pretty accurate. The conversion from hand time to FAT for distances under 400m is +0.24 which means a 4.38 is equivalent to a 4.62.

IMO we always have too much drama going on a Redskins Park don't need to add it by bringing in a 49 year old.

With a 5th-degree black belt in Taekwondo I'd let him play linebacker. Are kicks to the chess illegal in the NFL?

I think both kicks and chess are illegal in the NFL.

At least he'll send a message with the first, and then they all will shy away. Maybe even the refs. hehe:D

Re: Herschel walker wants NFL return!!!
 

I would kill to have a body like that now, but I can only imagine being in THAT great of shape when I turn 48!

Re: Herschel walker wants NFL return!!!
 

If anyone could do it Walker could. But there is no way he could play RB in the NFL at 48. He'd take a couple of hits and that would be it.

Re: Herschel walker wants NFL return!!!
 

What would be it, he's gonna fall apart?

If he can fight in the MMA, I think it's safe to say he could take some hits in the NFL.

I think where he might run into some problems would be trying to hold up over the course of an entire season.

Strange things happen every day. I'm still trying to figure out his motive for wanting to do this, and just what he intends to prove. He's already given the game the best he has to offer.

That's good to know. I'd hate the thought of seeing him on a football field again.

Yeah, because lord knows, if he was gonna break off a big run and score his lone td of the season, it would be against us. I swear, every team that is struggling with something always finds a way to fix it vs. us. Damn it!

You mean the QB who tried to force his way on the field but the coaching staff said otherwise and thus he had to relent?

I guess he didnt technically abandon his team, but Vince Young, in his own words, abandoned head coach Jeff Fisher. Prior to that, we all remember him throwing half his uniform into the stands.

Vince Young may not be crazy to the point that he needs to be in an asylum, but his behavior is bad enough that he is in jeapordy of losing his NFL career if he cannot get his actions under control.

You are talking about Oakland center Barrett Robbins. His self-destruction right before the Super Bowl was very strange.
