World-class wrestlers grapple with football in Jets camp

[Enforcerfin33]

interesting.....

Mangini, who wrestled in high school, is intrigued by their athleticism, which prompted the invitations. Both Rowlands and Konrad were surprised when they received calls from Brendan Prophett, the Jets' assistant director for pro scouting.

Mangini certainly looks outside the box for talent. Last year he brought in a professional rugby league player from Australia for a tryout.

Wrestling gives you great balance and makes you a great tackler. If they're looking for people who're hard to get to the ground, wrestlers are your perfect fit.

I wrestled and played ball, and I found myself looking for firemans carries etc. when I was tackling guys

Wrestling like the Olympic stuff is awesome, I love that. I wish we had it here, because I'd be all for it.

Gee, I wonder where Man"genius" got that idea? Cough**Stephen Neal**Cough.

The unoriginal bastid strikes again. :sidelol:

Last season it was the boxing videos. He was heralded as a genius for it. Belichick had been doing that for years, and I am sure many other coaches have as well.

Next thing you know, Mangini will get credit for the sun rising. :rolleyes2

Stephen Neal beat Ricky Williams for the college heavy weight championship I believe. I heard it was a hell of a match too.

I loved it too. Was in the best shape (cardio wise) of my life. Only thing that sucks is cutting weight.....being as skinny as I am I don't think it was healthy.

I have reaaaally long arms, but wrestling definitely helped me learn how to wrap up. I can take on guys 100+ pounds bigger than me and still bring them down just because of technique.

Was that before or after Bellycheek parted the red sea:rolleyes2.

Dont think the idea started in the recent history of your little paper kingdom. In fact I am absolutely sure other teams were bringing in wrestlers way before your team even had fans... you know like 7 or 8 years ago...:wink:

Oh, I forgot. Everything in the world is Belichick's fault since he has won Super Bowls. :rolleyes2

Way to miss the point of the post. Carry on.

Oh no, I got the point. Pardon, I didnt realize he also invented winning the Suuperbowl.
Your point was that your Man-wonder invented it before Mangini. My point is that Billiccheek didnt event squat...

I didnt mention ANYTHING being Billyboy's fault...:shakeno:

Carry on

Tell me where Mangini got the idea from? Was it from Neal while he was with the Pats or the "7 or 8 (which is it?) years ago" teams? I think we can all figure that out.

And nice way to work in the smack talk about the fans. Take that stuff to the Depths. And give yourself a round of applause for your witty comment.

Please provide the link where I stated Belichick invented winning Super Bowls. I realize you have a hard-on for starting smack with me, but I wasn't talking to you in my post.

And you did infer that Belichick was at fault with your comment:
