richNjoisy Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Late December, 2004, Cincinnati. A close game becomes a blowout largely due to the play of an undrafted rookie tight end from the Buffalo Bills His name? Jason Peters. 6 ft 4½ 328 lb 4.93 40 time, 29 inch Vertical, 9 ft 7 in Broad Jump, 21 rep 225 bench Press On Special teams he first made his mark - blocking punts and blowing apart opposing team wedges. Eventually he became a pro bowl offensive tackle. Enter, stage left, Nose Tackle/Offensive Tackle Michael Jasper. 6 ft 4½ 373 lb 5.38 40 time, 32 inch Vertical, 9 ft 5 in Broad Jump, 34 rep 225 Bench Press The similarities are in height and broad jump. Peters was faster but Jasper is much stronger, heavier, and can leap a lot higher and is a lot smarter. Now picture Jasper lining up as the lead man in the new two man wedge on kickoff returns. Pain. Put him over the long snapper on punts and field goals - push forward and jump high and extend. Hmmmmmmmm Oh God - let him make the team.....please.
Doc Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Interesting. I thought that Peters would have had a better VJ than that and would have benched 225# more than 21 times. And if Jasper could get down to 328#, it wouldn't put it past him to run a sub-5.0 40-yard.
Scrappy Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Pretty big stretch here & Peters took years to develope into a total jerk, we're getting miles ahead of ourselves.

I thought starting this season there were no wedge's of any form
richNjoisy Posted May 4, 2011 Author Posted May 4, 2011 I thought starting this season there were no wedge's of any form Just "two man" wedges I think
Wagon Circler Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 I was thinking about that yesterday. Unblockability and jumping ability = blocked kicks, of which we had none last year.
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 what i would like to see even more than him on special teams is watch him make Tom Brady explode by crushing him
Doc Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Oh God - let him make the team.....please. Oh, he'll make the team. Say goodbye to Spencer Johnson and/or John McCargo.
richNjoisy Posted May 4, 2011 Author Posted May 4, 2011 what i would like to see even more than him on special teams is watch him make Tom Brady explode by crushing him I see the BJ rule now - when B (rady) is on the field, J (asper) is not allowed to touch him. I'd be willing to deal with the 15 yard penalty. Yup Oh, he'll make the team. Say goodbye to Spencer Johnson and/or John McCargo. from your "mouth" to God's ears, Doc!
papazoid Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 I thought starting this season there were no wedge's of any form nice one....saw the topic and thats the first thing i thought of....lol

San Jose Bills Fan Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Practice squad player all the way. If he shows anything in the preseason, I think they'll keep him on the roster. I could be caught up in the hype but I know he's generated a ton of fan interest and the Bills seem quite happy with the pick…the Practice Squad would not be a safe haven for a diamond-in-the-rough like Jasper. Also, the new CBA is speculated to include an increased roster size, so there's that too.
Juice_32 Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 i havent been this excited since we picked up leif larsen
I hate the Bills ! Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 I'd use him like "The Fridge" and lead block on the goal line for Spiller and Freddy ! He needs a nickname if he doesnt have one.
