If an Ostrich was starting in place of Coker.....

.....what would the final score be on saturday? In light of the turn in conversation on the "injury" thread I thought I would start a thread devoted exclusively to ostrich "football" talk since we are in the football forum.

He would be a haul to tackle, but I would be nervous about fumbles. Also, the average ostrich runs faster than any human has ever run, so if he hits the edge, he won't get caught.

The not having arms thing might raise ball security concerns.

I am thinking 6 carries for 296 yards......but yes the fumbles would concern me as well.

But if it can hold the ball in its beak. . .

Aren't wings arms of some sort?
The real ***** is he can't fly.

That's the nice thing about an ostrich. Having a flightless bird play against humans seems much more fair, I think.

his helmet would be really loose.

 

[SixAMtailgate]

if I was the coach I would put him on kick off coverage and on side kick every time because with that long neck and speed he would be awesome.

Ostrich'es (sp?) are a-holes, and I would never have one on my team.

Would be one hell of a punt/kick blocker. Any good photo-shoppers in here?

 

[pmchawk]

sadly, I think we'd lose. It would probably run the other way and we would keep giving up safeties.

I've heard from some coaching buddies that they can really be prima donnas and don't always listen.

 

[SixAMtailgate]

well then start a new thread about your favorite animal on the team because this one is clearly about an ostrich!!!!

 

[DuffMan]

Have you ever seen the size of an ostrich egg? They are about thr size of a football. All Vandy has to do is stick the ball up the old egg hole and get out of the way. No fumbling there. PETA might get angry though.

Good point, what about a rhea?

Eggzactly. Not to mention their vision sucks cuz their eyes are on the sides of their heads. And what kind of bird cant fly? Are they retarded or something. I mean really, ostrich's really need to get with the program here. Stupid birds, you would think they spend their lives with their heads in the sand or something.

It appears there are a few typos and grammer mistakes in your post. This indicates to me that in the typing world you are a "pecker". And the only possible conclusion has to be..................................


olddude = ortrich

 

[storminspank]
