All I read at first was 'Mike', and for a second I thought it might be Mike Onwenu. While this is still impressive, I was really hoping to see a giant Grape of Wrath becoming the physical embodiment of tacopants.

Thanks for sharing. He's become one of my favorite players. I think he's going to have a monster season.

And why the hell not run a play for him? Do it, Gattis!

Common man you of all people should know "why the hell not".  

1996 - Michigan loses to Purdue 9-3 thereby ending our shot at making the Rose Bowl that year.  And I'm 100% sure you remember why:

But the most critical turnover came in the final minute of the first half with Michigan trailing 3-0, but camped at Purdue's 2.

The Wolverines put defensive tackle Will Carr, who weighs 287 pounds, in the backfield. Carr often blocks on goal-line plays, but occasionally carries the ball; a year ago he lugged it four times for 5 yards and scored on a 3-yard TD run.

Carr took a handoff from Dreisbach and rumbled into the right side of the line, where he ran into linebacker Chike Okeafor. Carr promptly dropped the ball and linebacker Chris Koeppen recovered.

Wasn't there a video of Hurst messing around at corner back or something?

Also, I think Bredeson mentioned something about all the linemen getting together for a 7 on 7 scrimmage in the offseason. I would love to watch that.

I can't even comprehend how a 300lb person can move like that, or how bad it would hurt when he hit you. If he can hold up against the run even a little this year, he's going to be a beast.

He was originally committed to Penn State.  The Penn State crowd excoriated him claiming he'd sit on the bench the entire time at Michigan and that Harbaugh only recruited him to seal the deal with Gary.  

Michael is proving them wrong and I still can't stand those child abuse apologists.

Everyone looks good going against air. Let me see him go up against my YMCA flag football team.

 

Seriously though, that is some impressive skill for a guy that size.

You are right on. DT's are the key to our defensive success. Also I like Ross at LB. We will need our other LB spot to step up and play championship level.

so if you're playing the mike position and he comes over the middle looking for the ball, ah, thinking you ought to just get out of his way and let him have it.

I used to go to a chiropractor who had played linebacker at Colorado.  He said Ricky Williams, the great Texas running back, was so big and fast that if you stuck your arm out to stop him, you'd finish the play with just one arm.

I watched many of Ricky William’s games live. That Colorado player is not lying. It was amazing how powerful a runner he was for someone who was also so agile.

Nicest guy in the world also. For the many people who say “I would put up with X, if I got paid that much...” you have no clue what your are talking about. He was trying to eat dinner one night with his girlfriend at a table adjacent to mine. The poor guy could barely get two bites of food in his mouth before the next person walked up and felt the need to say Hook Em or some other useless encouraging comment. He said Thank you to every single person. He didn’t get a chance to say ten words to his girlfriend throughout the whole meal. She put up with it too and they finally asked for their food to be packed up and left after an hour. No amount of money is worth putting up with that every single time you go out of your house.

Moves pretty good for a big man. Would hate to have to try to tackle him. Have him return a kickoff and punish some people trying to tackle him
