Kickoff

Aug 20, 2008 DeMeco Ryans, I ask that you wash it first, Kickoff, Leg hugs for all

(All-DeMeco Ryans Edition)

He’s better than you. The mothership has a Camp Spotlight on DeMeco.  Things we learn: DeMeco is a tough mofo who refuses to come out of the game, DeMeco is excited about Zac Diles‘ potential, DeMeco once turned a blind man into wine.

Reg-gie? NOLA newspaper looks back at the 2006 draft and comes away with the conclusion that DeMeco might just be the best player taken that year.  As of this moment, you’ll get no argument from me.

Wally Pipp.  Ryans was originally a center, of all things.  It wasn’t until the team’s starting MLB got hurt that DeMeco got the chance to play there. “I mean, I made every tackle,” the Houston Texans All-Pro middle linebacker remembers. “I guess that was when I kind of discovered I had a special knack for finding my way to the ball.” Indeed.

Finally. You know what to do.

    DeMeco Ryans, who always considered himself a one-gap linebacker, is pleased with his new two-gap assignment.

    DeMeco thought bubble: You know, I think bfd deserves to be here more than I do. I’ll give him a call.

    I think one could make valid arguments for DeMeco, Mario, Marques Colston, or Marcus McNeill, and then you have Antonio Cromartie moving up quickly. But, yeah, DeMeco is a monster and fundamentally sound.

    @bigfatdrunk: Agreed on all those guys. I just love that a NOLA paper is already saying Colston (7th rounder) was a better pick than Reggie. Glad to know common sense didn’t get totally swept away in the flooding.

    Fun-fact: Colston and David Anderson were taken back-to-back in the 7th round. I’m not sure if Anderson will ever get the playing time that Colston gets, but I thought it was kind of cool that two 7th-round picks both turned out to be pretty solid.

    @nash: While I like David, I sure wish those picks were reversed.

    They said I could only keep 2 of my bitches in the picture, and the extra 17 had to be redistributed among pro-bowlers from other teams. Fucking union contract.
