NFL teams should consider adding Sumo Wrestlers to their offensive lines. He held back Micah Parsons without even trying. Most don’t realize how impressive this is. Parsons is 6-foot-3, 245 pounds 🤯🤯

Don’t give eagles anymore ideas delete this wtf

He's literally holding him, that's a 10 yard penalty and in the open field Micah Parsons will run circles around E Honda

Where size doesn't matter. He threw him like a sack of potatoes.

Grand Sumo wrestler Ura performs takedown of much larger Takayasu using incredibly rare technique, only the 6th time in 25 years (0.02% winning technique)

Already been done

All these comments saying, yeah but wait until the Edge Rusher runs around them… you actually think Sumo wrestlers don’t have fast feet and explosive moves? Elite Sumo are unbelievably fast.

This sounds cute until you realize that defensive linesmen are not paid to push through the offensive linesmen like idiots. Make this Sumo guy try to defend a mannequin behind him against Jadewon Clowney. The swim techniques of modern NFL athletes are no joke.

Teams will speed rush off the edge and just send corner blitz The best way to beat a brick wall is to literally run around it🤷‍♂️

Unnecessary roughness to vehicles, 15 yard penalty, offense.

They basically did that with Refrigerator Perry until he got too fat to run.

all you do is post dumb shit dov

This is forgetting the fact that Micah had 10 sake bombs and 12 Sapporos right before

Most of sumo isn't mass, it's technique and low center, and leverage. The mass's advantage is reduced if the technique isn't good. Rather than having sumo lineman you could just train lineman in sumo and not have them have to be as heavy, although I imagine there are teams that already do this.

How.. have sumos.. never tried to make a career in the NFL? They are insanely strong, & quick..

“i need someone is my weight class” nah hold that L bro don’t be a sore loser 😂

imagine getting a sumo wrestler to put on pads and shit mfs love being naked they not doing allat

Man if you know ball this ain’t impressive at all lol you don’t run down the middle of that lol and you have to get them in a soft set to bull rush parsons would butt snatch the shit outta that lol

cant fuck with the COBRA

Have you seen the replacement’s?

So many black uncs seething about this. I guess being told you were genetically designed to be physically superior your whole life one shots a nigga

This one on one is impressive, but you put a line of sumos out on an NFL field and they will get embarrassed beyond belief.

Rent must be due.

I have never thought of that before, might work. Or why hasn't the NFL incorporated some Sumo training for linemen? Looks like it might up the game considerably.

Football is played in a little circle, they'd have to actually move their feet.

Back in 2001, one of the top Japanese sumo wrestlers tried his luck but couldn’t make it I remember some sumo wrestlers visiting the 49ers training camp in the 90s too. Different sport and different skills

The premise is sound but the details incorrect. As o-lineman, Sumos don’t have the quickness to block NFL defensive linemen. But Sumos would make fantastic d-tackles. They are literally built and trained to stand their ground and hold their spot. Nobody would move them.

If they were good they’d be in the NFL. They don’t have the lateral movement and in the NFL you wouldn’t be trying to push them back you’re trying to get past them.

No. Holding is legal in sumo, not in football. There is some overlap, to be sure, in the talent pool, but if you start using sumo techniques in the NFL, you'll give up 10 yards every snap.

Used to live in Japan…saw lots of sumo. The sumo guys wouldn’t last five min in a CFL or NFL game. The average sumo match lasts six or seven seconds (a match a day over a 15 day tournament) and the rikishi are built for power, not mobility….they can’t run very well.

Parsons is trying to wrestle him, not go around him. Besides, they would have to learn to not use their hands

Package to stop the Tush push

Defensive Tackles
