Sumo Wrestlers at the line... - The Orange Mane

bdv · 03-24-2007, 05:46 PM

What do you think about grooming some of the best sumo wresters to play on the OL or DL? If it were tried, where on either line would they be best suited? I was thinking they could push the middle as DTs and help with the pass rush, but could they stop the run?... Or perhaps another position would be better suited for such an athlete? FB? RB at third and one, third and two, and in the red zone?

Your thoughts?

I'm afraid when Big Daddy shows up we will have one.

I don't think they would be agile enough to play football. Maybe put them at goalie in hocky? Just push them back in the net.

There a little more to it than being big and fat

Put one at WR throw a screen pass and see if someone can tackle them. I can just see the chiefs secondary hanging onto the back of one as he runs in for the touchdown.
Anyone here a writer?

Kd be in favor of signing Akebono...that guy is frickin HUGE! He's a Yokozuna too.

A couple 500lb fatman at Defensive Tackle would be as good or better than what we now have.
