Dorkington Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Give it a few months. When he signs with another team, everyone on TBD will hate him and call him low class/thug/insert other insult.
Bruce Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Maybe the Bills are planning on making a move? Yeah, like perhaps keeping a kicker just for kickoffs, and a QB just for 'wildcat'?
eball Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 He played with more intensity than any other back-up OL in the preseason game. He was playing like a man possessed. Most of Vince Youngs best runs were set up by key blocks by Jasper. I don't get it. Asper and Williams looked overpowered. Jasper was immovable. [scene in Buddy Nix's office] Nix: we had to let Jasper go; I like the kid but he just wasn't cutting it... [scott Berchtold rushes into room frantically, holding a cell phone] Berchtold: Buddy! Quick! mountainwampus is on the line; he said he has important scouting information for you about Jasper... Nix: what the hell is a mountainwampus? Berchtold: that's not important! Take the call! [hands Nix the phone] Nix: howdy... mountainwampus: Buddy, are you senile? Mount Jasper was an immovable force against the Skins' 3rd and 4th stringers! He's light years better than the other 6th rounder you had in there. And he has this amazing workout video; have you seen it? And he lost all that weight...and remember when you had to take him to a grain scale to weigh him? And... [Nix hands phone back to Berchtold] Nix: Scott, you ever bust into my office like that again and I'll have you out of here faster than a jackrabbit running from a cay-ote.
Brainiac72 Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Yeah, the 7th round is the "who's who" of the NFL. as was similarly stated, Bills had been doing well with latter round picks Stevie and Bell... and other worth a shot. i think maybe the worry is they don't seem to take the picks as seriously, and to be honest some of Buddy's comments about latter round picks this year like Asper, Potter and the one we traded away, were very non-chalant and what you would say about an undrafted guy... basically they are bodies, who cares, just a flyer at that point.. etc. i mean, out starting QB and #1 WR are both 7th rounders, and our starting RB and #2 WR were undrafted. they shouldn't be throwaway picks. not saying Jasper was or anything, but Nix definitely gives the vibe he doesn't take 6th or 7th rounders that seriously.
BRAWNDO Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 On the bus, talking to two people while trying to eat behind the seat in front of me. I still have Cheetos dust on my phone... How was the first day of high school?
PromoTheRobot Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 If were not for the NFL lockout which prevented teams from signing UDFAs, Mike would have been a UDFA I think. PTR
Filly from Ruffalo Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 it was bound to happen sooner or later. woulda been a great story to see him pull through and make a name for himself but hes a smart dude (and i think his mother is a school administrator right?) and he hasn't produced half a dozen mini-mike jaspers so I'm sure he will be fine and find good work in a sports/media related field. I wish ya the best big mike, shadow mike, mountain mike, magic mike, bubbly mike, mike buble or whatever the hell else everyone tried calling you. also, wheres the guy who knows the girl big mike has been dating? wheres the gossip yo!
mountainwampus Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Eball, yr funny. We need to bring back that Kelsay thread.
Bruce Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 The good thing is, Big Jas' can now go back to eating for 4, and as mentioned previously get back on the grain scale...
Optometric Insight Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 How was the first day of high school? shouldn't this be discussed on the thread about high school?
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 How did Jasper get cut over David Snow? Snow was abused against the Skins--was as bad of a performance as I have ever seen.
eball Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 How did Jasper get cut over David Snow? Snow was abused against the Skins--was as bad of a performance as I have ever seen. Forgive me for stating the obvious, but I believe we may assume cutting Jasper was not based solely upon last Thursday night's performance.
Mark Vader Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) How did Jasper get cut over David Snow? Snow was abused against the Skins--was as bad of a performance as I have ever seen. Obviously the Bills staff is basing this move on more than what happened in the Skins game. Having said that, if David Snow continues to have games like that, he will not be around for long as well.

mountainwampus Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Obviously the Bills staff is basing this move on more than what happened in the Skins game. I'm thinking it's a physical conditioning problem. Perhaps he can't keep up with the workouts as well as Snow, Asper and Williams?
Malazan Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 I'm thinking it's a physical conditioning problem. Perhaps he can't keep up with the workouts as well as Snow, Asper and Williams? There have apparently been issues on the mental side of the game.
DDD Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Another classic case of big guy that can't play football. Just because a guy has size, speed, a high vertical jump, etc does not mean he can play in the NFL.

Nanker Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 This is an unhappy day at TBD. I wish him all the best and maybe he'll be back yet. Ya never know. He's the kind of guy that's easy to root for.
