Nice article on Bryan Stork

Admittedly, I was not high on the Stork selection but the more I see of him on the field and the more I read about him as a person I see just how wrong I was. I think he has a bright future as both a player and a person.

Yeah Bryan Stork have really solidified our interior Oline also don't sleep on Cameron Flemming he is really a Tackle who should not be playing Guard he sould be our #1 back-up Tackle if not a Starter in 2015. The Two Oline picks in 2014 look solid. Now lets hope D.Easley can live up to his First Round billing.

I read that article before the Chiefs game. I had no idea he played for Vero. My high school is one county south of them and we played Vero every year. Pretty nice rivalry, though they somewhat owned us when I was in high school. My high school head coach went there after he was unceremoniously fired out on his ass and became an assistant coach for them before he moved on to Dwyer, which further south. They were the high school that got screwed over in the nationals against an Ohio team. The penalty disparity was huge in that game and, IIRC, the referees were Ohio natives. You can read about it...

Anyway, I guess it's a small world, after all.

Well, that's an impressive young man. Interesting how he responded to the death of his father as opposed to AHern.

It is amazing how stout he is, even when he's standing straight up. If he can improve his technique, he'll be an absolute beast.

Fair play...being able to admit you were wrong on a player is a really good approach. The amount of cretins who pick a guy they don't like and bombard everyone with 'he's ****' despite evidence to the contrary is alarming in all sports.

Hopefully he continues to develop and we have our Centre problem sorted for years to come. Time will tell

Oliver Thomas with a nice breakdown of Stork vs. Cincinnati:

Great breakdown on Bryan Stork if Brady consistently get a pocket like that on gamedays we will be unbeatable. Seriously we are not even using Dobson the way we should, whe we do this Offense is going to be sick.

Stork has all the makings to become a fan favorite, from the cool huddle break to the maturity and of course the look.



Cool beard, cool marker.

Saw this article and took part of it out to change my signature.

“I love the Stork. I love the man. He’s a hard worker. He’s a grimy kind of guy, likes to get down in the trenches. And the good thing is he loves his job. He loves being the center and loves to get in there,” said Vereen. “I was talking to him and I said, ‘I’m looking forward to play with you. I’m glad you’re gonna be in there’ and he says, ‘Shane. You see this ass? Just follow it.’ You’ve got to love it.”

1. Gronk is not 100%, but showed promising signs against the Bengals.

2. Wright is still learning the offense, and reportedly working hard on his blocking according to BB.

3. Dobson has yet to be worked into the mix.

If the OL can give Brady a pocket and run block decently, then once those 3 things occur the offense should be top 5. It all depends on the OL.

Patriots have had good success when huge red-bearded guys have their backsides sticking out at Brady. Mr Stork seems like another one.

I love almost everything English. I even love marmite.

I embrace most change. I don't shun it.

And I hope to continue to always evolve as a human being and a species.

Aluminum or aluminium.

Sledge or sled

Aeroplane or airplane.

Its all just part of the wonderful diversity of the world we live in.

But the center position in American football should never, ever, ever, ever be referred to as the "centre" position...


P.S. - Yes Canada, I'm talking to you too..

i love a great sense of humour.

Glad to see the Projo did not give this assignment to Donaldson or Reynolds, because it would have been idiocy about BB or other such nonsense...

That is funny ****!

Deepest apologies to my American cousins.

If it helps I have eaten in the Union Oyster House, so that must be a tick in the plus column?

Some of that could be environment/family:

vs.

-Then, of course, he goes to FSU and becomes best friends with Jack Nicklaus' grandson.

-- Sometimes, it's environment. Bryan Stork had a much better one than Aaron Hernandez. Not a psychologist, but I see it as two fold. Environment AND Choice. Yes, there are folks who come from disadvantaged environments and do well and there are folks who come from advantaged environments and do badly.

Sounds like Stork is an extremely mature and focused young man who had a really good support system when his dad passed away. Good on him and good on his family.

Really happy with this kid. Hope he stays healthy

He looks like curly of the three stooges. Well if you take the beard off.

This kid gets it. The team will not have to babysit him.

He is 2 inches taller and 15 pounds heavier than Dan Koppen was. Plus, he was the Rimington Award winner last year. Can't understand how he lasted to the 4th round.
