The Redskins made a bottom-of-the-practice-squad move today, releasing LB (and all-around nice guy) Darrel Young and adding LB Alvin "Ace" Bowen to the squad. Literally, a turnover of roughly the 61st roster spot, and something that probably wouldn't warrant an entire blog post to itself ... except that Bowen isn't just a linebacker. He's a compliance linebacker.




In a series of spots recorded when Bowen was in college at Iowa State -- clearly inspired by the Terry Tate, Office Linebacker commercials -- Bowen helps to illustrate various NCAA athletic rules by sacking the offenders and shouting "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" And it is awesome.

"If you're gonna violate, I'm gonna annihilate, fool," Bowen says, after tackling the guy who's trying to buy a meal for one of the athletes. "You know that's an extra benefit. Don't be pullin' that on my watch. Woooooooooooo!"

Or to the guy offering an athlete a chance to drive his Porsche. "Tryin' to give a car? Get a scar, baby. Get these keys back in your pocket before you mess with someone's playing career. Woooooooooooo!"

Or, possibly best of all, after crushing (with amusing sound effect!) a college recruiter illegally approaching a high school runner. "If you recruit, I'm'a sue I'll pursue. You know you're not supposed to have recruitin' contact with a prospect, lady. Don't let me catch you doin' it again. Woooooooooooooo!"

I haven't had a chance to meet Bowen yet, but he certainly seems likely to fit right in around here the next time Chris Cooley goes on a Ram hunt.

The equally awesome Part 2 after the jump.
