The Golden Ruel Tue, 24 Jun 2008 08:38:02 -0800
Long overdue props to the man with the mustache. Pat Ruel has groomed offensive line juggernauts Ryan Kalil, Deuce Lutui, Sam Baker, Fred Matua and Winston Justice. His draw is comparable to that of Ed Orgeron and has helped him win many recruits outside his position. Possibly something that Carroll rubbed off on him: "Pete's like a beautiful woman," Ruel said after taking the job. "The closer you get, you better look out. He is very charismatic. He can smile and make you feel like a million dollars." Everybody should be feeling like a million bucks if the Golden Ruel can get Jeff Byers and company opening those truck-sized holes we saw against Nebraska last year.
USC Football Yearbook Wed, 11 Jun 2008 12:24:57 -0800
What's in a name? Are USC football players destined for greatness at birth? Some of their names seem to imply it. The Trojans have had some real humdingers in their 120 year program. Here's a list our favorites in a Trojanwire yearbook of sorts. The McGeiver/McGreuber Award. Most likely to save your life with a paper clip and rubber band: Marlin McKeever, DL Most likely to kick your ass and steal your milk money: Morris Badgro, E Most likely to become a comic book superhero: Winston Justice, OT

Trojans in the NFL: Week 4 Mon, 01 Oct 2007 17:21:53 -0800 Justin Fargas (RB) was a surprise star for Oakland, picking up a career high 179 yards on 22 carrier with a long of 48. He replaced injured starter LaMont Jordan just before halftime. Matt Leinart (QB) started for Arizona, was replaced by Kurt Warner, then returned in the fourth to lead a touchdown drive that put the game out of reach for Pittsburgh. He was 7-of-14 for 93 yards. Dwayne Jarrett (WR) played in the first game of his career and had a six yard catch. Lofa Tatupu (LB) had eight tackles and forced a fumble in Seattle's victory over San Francisco. Troy Polamalu (S) had two tackles and forced a fumble against Matt Leinart's Cardinals. Willie McGinest (LB) assisted on a tackle in his first game of the year as Cleveland beat Baltimore. Keary Colbert (WR) made grabs of 10 and 6 yards in a Carolina loss to Tampa Bay. Shaun Cody (DT) had a tackle for the Lions in a win over Chicago. Kenechi Udeze (DE) made two tackles in Minnesota's loss to Green Bay.
Justice at last? Fri, 20 Oct 2006 10:24:33 -0800
With William Thomas still ailing from back spasms, Justice yesterday continued to take snaps with the first-team offense. He could earn not only his first action, but his first start, on Sunday. Facing the Tampa Bay Bucs though, there this guy on their line named Simeon Rice, who if you've never heard of him, he's kinda good (120 career sacks). Simeon says (before Jevon Kearse and Julius Peppers) he was the first of the freakishly athletic defensive ends that changed the NFL. Justice at last?

Justice signs with the Eagles Tue, 18 Jul 2006 09:49:38 -0800 Winston Justice gets $3.71 million for four years ($2.1 million guaranteed). Justice had a great Pro Day, notably a 39-inch vertical (for a 320 pound tackle), but fell in the draft because of concerns of character issues. Winston will likely move from Matt Leinart's right tackle to Donovan McNabb's left tackle so that his all-important job remains protecting his quarterback's blindside.

Out for Justice Wed, 05 Apr 2006 19:21:41 -0800
Coach John Fox of the Carolina Panthers noted that there are teams that actually like Winston Justice a little better than they do D'Brickashaw Ferguson of Virginia. "Some of the stuff he did was absolutely off the charts for a man so big. You don't see those kinds of workout numbers from a 320-pounder. He definitely helped himself." Other OL prospects, Deuce Lutui and Fred Matua, are ready to help USC in this year's NFL draft standings, which after the successful pro day, the Trojans look to be cleaning house...
