Something fun to think about:
http://blog.startribune.com/sports/acce ... k-and-more
RT Phil Loadholt, at 6-foot-8 and 343 pounds, is the biggest player on the Vikings and one of the biggest men in the NFL period. To put that into perspective, he weighs nearly twice as much as the smallest Vikings player. That would be CB Marcus Sherels, who is 5-foot-10 and 175 pounds.

People don't know this, but "Phil Loadholt" is actually Sherels on Asiata's back in pads.

Is it bad that I tried to picture that?

It's only bad if opposing teams picture it. Zimmer is trying to set up a new trick play using "Phil Looadholt". The hardest part is doing it without getting a 12 men on the field penalty.
Okay, maybe that's not the
hardest part but it's tricky...

I just keep getting an image of Asiata and Sherels lining up and merging Station style from Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey to form Phil Loadholt.
