Broncos Head to Head: Chukwurah vs. Predator
We're going to have a little fun through the start of training camp with our latest weekly feature – Broncos Head to Head.
Most football analysts look at match-ups you're likely to see on the field. But what about all those match-ups that you could see off the field?
Fortunately, the fine staff of DenverBroncos.com is here to sort these things out.
May 3: Ashley Lelie vs. Ashley Judd
May 10: Al Wilson vs. Al Bundy
May 17: Bradlee Van Pelt vs. Linus Van Pelt
May 24: Ebenezer Ekuban vs. Ebeneezer Scrooge
In our fourth match-up, we break down a potential meeting between a pair of dreadlocked warriors -- Broncos linebacker Patrick Chukwurah and the Predator – the alien psychopath from the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger/Jesse "The Body" Venture movie of the same name.
Whose dreadlocks will pass the test? Read on for the answer ...
CATEGORY CHUKWURAH THE PREDATOR ADVANTAGE
Famous Company Sits down for meetings with Pro Bowlers Al Wilson, John Lynch and Champ Bailey. Spent some time with two famous political figures -- former Minnesota governor Jesse "The Body" Ventura and current California chief executive Arnold Schwarzenegger. But even this highly-advanced space alien couldn't predict their role in government. Chukwurah. Sure, the Predator went against some big time musclemen in their prime, but Chukwurah goes to work each day against some of the best athletes in the world.
Education Started for three years at Wyoming, leaving the school with 245 tackles and 27 sacks. He personified the "bandit" position, a cross between outside linebacker and defensive linemen. Sent from his home planet to hunt humans – an extraterrestrial coming of age. Chukwurah. The Predator didn't have to deal with college algebra.
Tools of the Trade Helmet, gloves, pads, strength that can bench more than 430 pounds, speed around the edge and cleats. Really cool cloaking device, infrared goggle thingies and a bag of futuristic weapons. Predator. We'd love to say such Spartan accompaniments gives the Bronco the edge, but a cloaking device puts the alien over the top.
Hobbies Stalking quarterbacks, running backs and return men across the field. Stalking mercenaries through Central American jungles and collecting human skulls.
Predator. Yes, the turf at some NFL stadiums is bad, but jungles are just plain creepy in themselves.
Accomplishments Played in all 16 games in 2001, becoming the first Vikings rookie since 1997 to start on defense. He was the first Viking rookie since 1962 to start a season opener. Named captain his senior year at Wyoming and named first-team All-Mountain West Conference. Single-handedly took out most of a team of highly trained commandos. Chukwurah. This is a no brainer. The Predator had all kinds of gadgets to help him, plus, he wasn't able to keep his cool when hearing cheesy action movie lines like: "I ain't got time to bleed," and "Ruuuuuuuuuun! Get to the Choppeeer!" Plus, he doesn't get out of the movie alive.
Endurance Has played for three different teams in four seasons since being drafted by the Vikings in 2001. Born in Nigeria. Flew from light years away just to get shown up by a young Schwarzenegger and some old school weapons. Toss up. An NFL training camp and season is like a marathon and we're assuming an intergalactic journey to collect skulls is no picnic. This one will have to get played out.
Looks Has sported the dreads for a while now and makes them look good under a helmet. One of only a handful of NFL players who keep the look. Got the memo on dreadlocks, but ruins them with his crazy facemask and strange alien looks. Chukwurah. He makes the dreads look good Besides, is that even the Predators' real hair? This is the major point of comparison, and Chukwurah has it hands down. Bonus points.
