Blows my mind that he's managed to make NFL rosters despite being the weakest link on the 2012 O-Line. I still remember him getting abused that year by Kawann Short (granted a very good d-lineman).

yeah the dude always seems to catch on and get training camp invites, maybe its because of name recognition and stuff but yeah its quite puzzling alright!

Very Smart player... plays several line positions... toughness and decent mobility... hard worker...

Not a horrible set of qualities for a short-term back-up lineman and special teamer, who's not going to get paid much and allows the team to cut some marginal but more expensive lineman.

God bless you, "Little Mike", you played your heart out for us.

I always thought Golic did a very good job as a pulling guard. He was very smart, as OMM said, and was able to pick up who he needed to clean out of the hole so to speak. His problem was his strength and going one on one against a strong defensive lineman. Get Golic in space and he was able to help the running back. Good for him.

i always felt he could pull pretty well but was never one to blow up blockers when he did get to the point of attack. He's definitely a hard worker and isn't about to let his NFL dream die easily

Website is Alex Flanagan's own blog about parenting with a sports theme, worth a read. She is really missed on NBC broadcasts :(
