SACKMARINO Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Gibson is a bit of a physical rarity. He wears an 8 ¾" extended helmet, and gave assistant equipment manager Woody Ribbeck more work than he anticipated. First he couldn't fit into his assigned jersey number 60 so he was given a larger jersey with number 74. Ribbeck also had to shave down the padding in his assigned helmet so it would fit on his head. is he wearing jamie nails' old practice jersey???

BillsGuyInMalta Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 BB.com has him listed at 371, but who knows if thats accurate.

BUFFALOTONE Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 If this tank can drop 20 or 30lbs. before the start of the season than I wouldnt mind having him in the lineup. Granted he can push himself away from the table. Runnung behind a guy that is that size and can wear down smaller defensive lineman, and lets face it a guy this size every lineman is going to be smaller. Hopefully he works out. GO BILLS!
apuszczalowski Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Think about it, if we could get him to gainabout 20-30lbs more, he could replace the entire line! That would fill alot of holes
John from Riverside Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 There was a time when this freak could move very well for his size.... He could end up being a real gem at left guard....and if you had someone that could dominate that position leaving Gandy at LT would be a lot easier to take.... Melvin Fowler was actually a VERY good pickup at Center..... I am not satisfied with all of the moves because Gandy (before last year) has had a propensity to get hurt......but a few more pickups and....
stevewin Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 The BN article had a better picture... Holy Crap!
scribo Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 I like that he came here to play for Jauron. I really hope he works hard, because this guy can be a beast when focused. I would think McNally and company were watching him very, very closely this past weekend. If he can be servicable OT or OG, it could affect who the Bills go after in the second and third round.

EndZoneCrew Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 He looks like he ate Jamie Nails for dinner and Corey Louchiey for dessert!
