How Do You Pronounce Anzalone's Name?
 
If you're Bobby Hebert...

1) An-Zah-Loan-Nay
Or
2) An-Zah-Loan
Or
3) The zone of anal penetration?

With a name like that growing up you have to wind up being a football player or MMA fighter.

Hilarious. Looks like the text thread between my saints buddies on draft night.

You know, glad some of you posted this about his name first and that I'm not the only one with a warped, sardonic sense of humor...

Another player I had name issues was Vandy OT Will Holden - Do you really need a linemen subliminally encouraging the official to throw a flag?!?

I say Anzalone. Does that work for you?

Re: How Do You Pronounce Anzalone's Name?
 
Yeah, it's all fun and games until you have a Saints jersey with Analzone written on it and then you run into the very player in the parking lot...

Or worse, you walk in the back door of the Blue Oyster Bar wearing that very jersey...

Guess that's why I don't wear jerseys with another man's name on it...

I thought Analzone was the East end of Bourbon Street.

It's "An-Zah-Loan-Nee"

The whole "Anal-Zone" crap is quite childish and disappointing.

10+ years ago I worked with a lady with the last name of Anzalone. She and we pronounced it an-zah-loan. But maybe that was the Midwestern pronunciation. But the most important thing, she was hot!

I've heard it said AN-zah-LOH-nee. Italian origin.

Take the headphones off and it looks like a head shot for Georgia Championship Wrestling circa 1982https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9ab3420a54.jpg

I had never heard of him, but was pretty sure it was an-zah-loh-nee, when I saw the name. Pretty typical pronunciation for an Italian name.

I just want to know what he did on the field. I keep hearing about his shoulders, and everyone says he's healed from that. But I haven't seen an actual reason to draft him in the third round, in terms of his on field play. I'm not saying he has no talent. I merely have nothing substantial to go on.

Re: How Do You Pronounce Anzalone's Name?
 
Two things I caught in this highlights film...

He seemingly gets juked by smaller players, but because of his length and breakdown discipline, he makes a number of "shoestring" tackles where other players would get missed...

Second, I really like his containment discipline, see his sack at the 2:30-2:45 mark; rather than bullrush the smaller RB, he works with teammates to collapse the pocket then puts a nifty spin move to get the passer on the ground...

Biggerst concern for him will be to remain healthy and available...
