JinWPB Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 I swear, every time I see that picture it looks like the front of his jersey says "EATS"! I think yup, no joke. What's crazy is that is an average size college RB he is lead blocking for , not a midget.
Tipster19 Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 If he pulls a 'Wilfork Stomp' move, they'll have to dig the guy out of the field.. Now THAT'S funny.......and true!
LabattBlue Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 No doubt ... The Bills took him at what was nearly the bottom of the 7th round. If the guy Becomes even a good role player for the Bills they will look like geniuses. If he gets cut, so what? Yeah who cares. 7th rounders never make teams. Just piss them away.
In-A-Gadda-Levitre Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Jasper's Facebook page says his nickname is Shadow, aptly named for his sun-blocking skills
Gotta Dream Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 They could do away with the 2-man wedge, and put all 10 blockers in the wedge. We'd send Jasper. In another venue, this is known as "bowling". The Peters reference is perfect. Even if he has no 3-down techniques, they can coach him for goal-line and blocking kicks while he learns to play a real position. Screw this John Wendling hop over the line like the Easter Bunny. Let Jasper bust a gap with strength, or just mash that line a couple yards backwards, and then jump for the block with that absurd vertical. He's bound to get one of those hams in the way just on law of averages. If he does nothing else as a rookie, would two blocked kicks be worth a roster spot? I say yes. Those are huge, game-changing plays and not everyone can make them. After we lucked out on waiving Peters to the PS and bringing him back and turning him into an impact 'teamer and then a (questionable) Pro-Bowler at tackle, I don't think the NFL as a whole will let us get away with it again. As far as nicknames go I've heard "Eclipse", "Jasper The Giant", "Mount Jasper", etc... but I kinda like "Shrek" :thumbsup: He's nothing like Peters. Article says he did great on his Wonderlic. Didn't Peters have the lowest score ever?
Ralonzo Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Peters got something like a 4. I was talking physical skills... Jasper and Peters are both 4+ standard-deviation athlete. What I heard and read seems to indicate Jasper a pretty smart guy, with a much better attitude. I think if he does what the coaches tell him, he'll be fine. Can't wait to see it, hopefully this year.
Doc Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Peters got a 9. Not the worst, but close to it. And whoever suggested the Bills play Jasper on ST's while he learns the DT/NT position (forget about PS'ing him, he'll be signed immediately), was right-on.
Tipster19 Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 The only reason why we knew of him was we supposedly got a tip from Levi Brown but when we did interact (over a year ago) with him the guy did everything that we asked him to do. Where did you see that info about Levi Brown? I apologize, I read it off the message board from another poster and I shouldn't have ever done that because I just listened to a radio interview with Buddy Nix and he said that our scout Matt Hand discovered him in his territory. Hand told jasper that he would speak on his behalf if he were to get under 400 lbs, which Jasper did. Again, I apologize for being lazy and I'll never do that again.
Geno Smith's Arm Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Yeah who cares. 7th rounders never make teams. Just piss them away. Okay. Which one of these guys did you have your heart set on?

Dorkington Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Oddly enough, I'm most excited about this pick above all others. If he works out, he could be a monster. We need a big dominant NT. I love Kyle Williams, but I think he's a DT (4-3) or DE (3-4) but not a NT, if that makes sense.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 I apologize, I read it off the message board from another poster and I shouldn't have ever done that because I just listened to a radio interview with Buddy Nix and he said that our scout Matt Hand discovered him in his territory.

drinkTHEkoolaid Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Good job for Matt Hand taking some initiative, seems like this will be an interesting story to follow and watch develop
Tipster19 Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Totally unacceptable! Maybe this is acceptable, the OFFICIAL story. http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-2/NT-Jasper-brings-gigantic-intrigue/1441bfd2-c3b5-4aae-a893-c2872093c105
San Jose Bills Fan Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Maybe this is acceptable, the OFFICIAL story. http://www.buffalobi...93-c2872093c105 Yep…the more details come out about his discovery, the better the story gets. I know it's a huge jump in competition but from everything I've read and seen, I think this kid has a legit chance. If he's making good progress, I doubt they'll be able to stash him on the practice squad…it would be too easy to lose him. I think if he's making decent progress that he makes the roster.
yungmack Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 From his website: "Started at DE, DT, FB, OG, Center and Kicker throughout his high school career." Kicker? Fullback? Find whoever tackled him and sign that guy too.

I agree, there's no way that this guy slips thru the PS. I would suspect that he makes the roster and they find various roles that he can perform along DT duties.

Somebody just show me a draft profile where this guy was a MONSTER and dominated at the NAIA level(Is that above or below JUCO? ).
Geno Smith's Arm Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) I'll take anyone who had success playing football at D-I or D-II level versus a guy who all anyone can talk about is his workout, because he hasn't had any football success! Somebody just show me a draft profile where this guy was a MONSTER and dominated at the NAIA level(Is that above or below JUCO? ). I think it's fine for them to spend a seventh round pick on this guy. The list I provided were the only guys picked after Jasper that the Bills won't have a chance to sign. To B word and moan over that is ridiculous, not clever. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Edited May 3, 2011 by Matthews' Bag
