grammer_police Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 My new favorite player Michael Jasper aka SHADOW! Per Murph..."He casts a large shadow". Shadow is fuggin awesome. He's got the perfect attitude and can clog entire highways. I have never heard of another player with this nickname....and we need a unique name for this mammoth of a player. SHADOW!

SHADOW! why do practice squad players get nicknames?
OldTimer1960 Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 why do practice squad players get nicknames? Jasper is a nice story and I am pulling for him, but from what I think I saw tonight, Kellen Heard outplayed him.
grammer_police Posted August 14, 2011 Author Posted August 14, 2011 I know right? I mean practice squad players need to earn their own. They need to be more like a guy like Shadow...a hall of famer before even playing a regular season snap. He'll SHADOW the hell outta-ya!
Thoner7 Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Jasper is my new favorite player. I need his jersay ASAP.
JayD Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 There is no way a 394Lbs man should be getting pushed around by 300lbs centers

The name of the Shadow is better than my try at Jasper the Jiant. May the Shadow prosper!
bowery4 Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 I'm okay with it but Mount Shadow is better IMO
mrags Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Unfortunately Shadow looked like he did t belong on the field half the time. Got pushed around quite a bit for a 400lb DT. I'd say Heard bats him on the team at this point. But I also am hoping for Shadow to make it too. Hopefully they both beat out Spencer J
BigGronBuffalo Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Jasper is a nice story and I am pulling for him, but from what I think I saw tonight, Kellen Heard outplayed him. Agreed even though it was against scrubs. Would like to see them put one of those daddy fat stacks on the roster though.
5 Wide Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Jasper was slow off the snap and couldn't disengage from his blockers at all. He looked very, very raw. Poor leverage and just got almost no push 90% of the time. Hope he is a fast learner and can apply what he learned from game 1.

It was fun being excited about this guy while it lasted.
I hate the Bills ! Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Maybe we should switch him to offensive Line
Endless Ike Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) Shadow is a terrible nickname for a football player unless you're trying to be deregatory, it implies insubstantial and ephemeral Edited August 14, 2011 by Endless Ike
....lybob Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Shadow is a terrible nickname for a football player unless you're trying to be deregatory, it implies insubstantial and ephemeral what if it's the looming shadow of DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
ChevyVanMiller Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Jasper the (big as the entire East) coast.
PS 56 Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Jasper is a young player who played at a small school. Actually several small schools. He is going to be raw on the field. He has a lot to learn. But he has demonstrated an athleticism that is worth the time and investment. I am withholding final judgement until the end of the pre-season. I believe he will show progress in playing his position over the course of the games.

I'd say Heard bats him on the team at this point. But I also am hoping for Shadow to make it too. Hopefully they both beat out Spencer J Even the worst player in a camp right now is probably exponentially better than the best guy he played in his career. It's a huge learning curve ahead, but I'm ok with letting him work. I just hope he is ok providing not just shade but also some water to the guys that make the 53 as those are likely his biggest contributions outside mimicking haynseworth or wilfork for the scout team. Nothing wrong with that this year though,

He's a nice story and I'm pulling for him but he's got a long way to go before becoming a legit NFL player. At this point in his development, maybe he should be nicknamed 'The Mime'...seen but not heard (from in the game).

Was thinking more like the big belly. I am all for 400 pounders but he looked sloppy and slow off the ball, Heard was way more effective. what if it's the looming shadow of DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM Maybe the Defense can called be the Legion of Doom.
