Nice Christmas Presents!


Quote:

At the very least, it appears that foot traffic in one part of the greater Miami area might be a little backed up today. Through his Twitter account, Miami Dolphins running back Reggie Bush announced that he purchased Segway "Personal Transporters" for each member of his offensive line.

Bush had good reason to be grateful to the guys blocking for him this season — as Miami's feature back in 2011, he posted his first 1,000-yard season in the NFL (1,086 yards through 15 games) and surprised many observers with his ability to run between the guard and pick up tough yards. In five seasons with the New Orleans Saints, Bush was much more a versatile back and provided more value in the passing game and as a schematic chess piece. Now, he appears to be much happier as the number-one back in the rotation he always believed he could be. Bush has grabbed 43 receptions in 2011, so he's kept that side of his game up.

The Miami front five currently ranks 16th in Football Outsiders' Adjusted Line Yards metric and 30th in Power situations, but try telling these guys that when they're busy vrooming around...

They handle your mom pretty well. The O-Line and the segway.

According to the Segway website, they can hold 260 lbs max. Aren't most linemen AT LEAST this size, or more?

The lightest O-Lineman on Miami is 305 pounds.

The rest go between 320-365...

I remember back when finding a 300+ linemen that could move was a big deal now if your not 300+ pounds you can forget about playing nfl lineman.

Well maybe they'll get a couple weeks of use out if before it breaks down, not too bad. This is for the <350 pounders at least.

I'm guessing they build them durable enough to deal with more than the suggested weight.


Strangely this Segway tour approves of riders 100-300 pounds. Sounds like they could get sued if a fatty falls off one.
