Crazy great idea, or simply insanity

[Jolly Blue Giant]

My thinking all started when I watched Elijah "Baby Bison" Chatman chase down a RB 40 yds from the line of scrimmage and haul him down. That's beyond crazy, but that is also why Chatman made Bruce Feldman's Freak List last year

At a hair under 6-0, and 280 lbs of solid muscle, he manages to bench press over 500lbs, does 42 reps of 225lbs (daily, I heard/read), and get this, does "dumbbell rows" with 185 lb weights on each arm...which is friggin insane. These are dumbbell rows:



So, there is no question the kid a strong as an ox and has speed for his size. What I didn't know, is that he was a RB in high school as well as played some FB in college for a while. So he is certainly not unfamiliar with blocking or taking the rock and running with it

Here's my thought: We're in the red zone, and it's "3rd and goal"...why couldn't we use Baby Bison to take the ball and punch it in as a RB/FB. It worked for the "Fridge". IMO, that is an awesome tool in the team's toolbox. Many a time, there is a clogged-up line that requires brute force to win the scrum. What better tool that a 280lb RB that can lift 500lbs in his sleep to push the scrum over the line???

Great idea, or did I stay out too late last night and drink more than I should have. Is this a crazy thought?

He'd be great for the tush push or did they outlaw that maneuver?
