dweagle Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 My first topic on the new board!! I was looking for a picture for my profile, but also came across these couple pictures from the Seahawk game last year that I never shared. We had a good time and can't wait to get back! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ialone Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I was at a Party with Hugh Douglas a few years back... he was pretty cool, but rather shy in that instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dweagle Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Yes, Mike was pretty mellow in this instance. He was very kind though. He had two really drunk friends with him and he almost seemed somewhat embarrassed by them. I was actually cussing to myself when we got to our seats because this tall, broad shouldered man (Mamula) was blocking my view. Luckily he traded spots with his shorter drunk friend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPeeteRules Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Just watched the NFL Network airing of the 1995 NFL draft special. Very interesting to see and remind myself of why the draft went down the way that it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-1000 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Mamula was a better pick than most people think. They gave up too much to move up for him, and drafted him too early. That said, it's ridiculous that some people consider him one of the biggest busts in team history. He had some productive years, as opposed to a number of guys they drafted early who never did anything. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to have an end with his production on the team now to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to have an end with his production on the team now to be honest. Never thought he was a bust . . . just drafted way too early and too much given up to get him. His 40 time was 4.62 which is faster than Sapp & Reggie but not Bruce Smith. That's pretty good company. Aside from the fact that he was under-sized for his position the only other knock on him (that I know of) was when he got caught showing his MAMULAS to some young lady in a bar in Allentown one night.

dweagle Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 I didn't ever think he was bad. Didn't his career get 'sacked' by a knee injury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Nova Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 He was ahead of his time, imo. He would flourish in today’s NFL, especially in the wide-9 scheme that the Eagles currently use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMatt Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I dont know much about him as i started watching after his career. His numbers dont seem so bad at all... surprised philly was his only team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrPhilly Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 He was ok but not the "great" you'd have hoped for given the trade and pick. He did have a lot of hurries that sort of went unnoticed. It always seemed like he was just a split second away from getting there. Much more so than anyone else I can ever remember. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember ND Kalu was similar. Every opposing pass play seemed to have Kalu's outstretched hand reaching for a QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mamula ran a 4.55 and he broke a lot of combine records at the time his bench press was more than a lot of Olineman I believe. His combine performance had Rhodes salivating, thinking Mamula could turn into the next Charles Haley. Mamula just played the wrong position imo, had he been an outside linebacker he could have had close to 100 sacks by the time he retired.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
