It seems like we could really use him on those running plays inside the 10. I've seen footage, and he really brings the hammer down!
Thor has a movie coming out this summer so he's probably going to be busy. :lol:

Apparently, I am not the only one who thinks Thor would make a great fullback. It sounds like maybe someone signed him to an LOI already?

http://boards.houstontexans.com/showthr ... 839&page=2

"One of the things that makes Thor so dangerous in the Fullback spot is that it adds ANOTHER dynamic element to an already HIGHLY dynamic offense. When a defense can't sit on one, or two, or even three guys, it opens up holes. Thor...mark my words...will find openings to catch, to run through, etc. And he will find the end zone, at least a few times this season.

Glad to have Thor on board, and to have all our rookies signed.

And yeah, if AJ said THAT much AND made any comments about Thor, then Thor made an impression. Let's face it, AJ KNOWS about catching the pigskin, and if he's praising JC, then that is something to respect.

Opposing defenses are going to have nightmares after the first couple of regular season games. How do you try and line up against these guys?

One last thought...

Imagine lining up on short yardage and you're covering Slaton and protecting against the TE pass, but then you have Thor who can run OR catch the ball. Yeesh. NIIIIIGHTMAREEEEES!

THOR THOR THOR!!! "

Too bad... I think Thor may have misunderstood Coach Cam, when he said the Ducks were looking for a guy to, "Put the Hammer Down".

I knew he missed that Michigan game!

I think most are forgetting about the most likely god/goddess to come to Oregon: Nike.

You are all mistaken about Thor's reason for not signing with Oregon. There's no secret that Oregon was his #1 choice, but CK just didn't have room for him. "We have limited spots" said Kelly. "Also consider that we don't have a fullback in our offense, so getting him wouldn't make sense." At this point Kelly stares me down with a disgusted look, as if I were an insignificant cockroach who didn't know that Oregon doesn't deploy a fullback position. Ashamed, I quietly crept out of the press room during the next question.

They could always use him at LB.

I talked to some insiders at Educk who say that Thor Odinsen was never offered by Oregon. I really think the coaches dropped the ball there. You make room for a guy like that, IMO.

She's from Mycenae (There's on in NY), so she's rumored to want him to go to Syracuse or Penn St.
