He's the same size as Ellington, which may be a bit too small for him to ever be trusted as a team's pure No. 1 back, and the reason he's not AP's pure handcuff this year is that should the 31-year-old Peterson suffer injury, McKinnon would almost certainly share time with lumbering Matt Asiata.
"But if you swing the camera underneath them, or you swing the camera above, or you jump back 50 feet and it's just two masses lumbering at each other, and then you zoom in right as a knuckle hits a nose, and pull back, and then you jump into the crowd to see who's watching, who's screaming, and so on," he continues.
At the time, I had never met him, so all I had to go off of was the image that Sub-Pop marketed him as in the 90s: A lumbering, confrontational, irreverent, chainsaw-wielding man who embodied the idea of Pacific Northwest "redneck drug culture" and habitually stage-dove with his guitar, despite weighing the equivalent of two or three show-goers.

Because from where I'm sitting, he's a half-interested lumbering ox who comes to life when he knows the cameras are on him, and otherwise is waiting for that first official check to cash—although obviously he's been cashing his recruiting checks for years—so he can buy that place in South Beach and do gas-mask bong hits with Lil Jon.
The WWII vets came home, many of them, somehow able to compartmentalize and simply head into making lives, but they had this huge, national, societal structure to return to, and they did it slowly—on ships, lumbering across an ocean, playing cards, soothing each other, sharing stories, and then parades and VFW hall meetings and a booming post-war economy.
The estate that serves as the primary setting of the action is a lumbering hybrid; half English manor (due to its proprietor's respect for the British Empire) half traditional Japanese home (for similar reasons.)

Yes, there are midichlorians, but Lucas also turns the somewhat lumbering lightsaber duel of yore into a savage ballet, introduces a fearsome new kind of villain in iconic horned bastard Darth Maul, makes something apocalyptic of the score (one of John Williams's best of the entire franchise), and swaps out his scrappy cowboy and scoundrel protagonists for a scrum of galactic politicians and space samurai.
Despite its ripped-from-the-headlines premise, or maybe because of it, "The Kingfisher Secret" was panned by some critics as a poor substitute for the actual news: "Admittedly, the confirmed and speculative details of the president's malfeasant career are hard for fiction to match, but this plot doesn't exert itself any more than Donald Trump lumbering around his golf course," Ron Charles wrote in The Washington Post.
That symbolic punctuation to an already decided Game 373 of the Eastern Conference semifinals looked like this: With 5 minutes 30-some seconds left in the fourth quarter, Embiid caught a pass from Ben Simmons behind the 3-point line, ball-faked an onrushing, lumbering Gasol, took one lane-consuming dribble and threw down a contest-worthy windmill dunk, setting off a celebratory frolic to the far side of the floor.
In essence, it's fair to think of the F-35 not so much as a fighter with fancy electronics, but the other way round: as a super-sophisticated surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft that just so happens to be armed to the teeth — unlike the typical ISTAR (Information, Surveillance, Target Acquisition, and Reconnaissance) planes, which tend to be lumbering things based on the passenger jet that just flew you from Newark to Albuquerque.
So set aside for a moment which team it was (it was the Arizona Cardinals, in 2013) and just close your eyes and picture Mr. Winston at his apex: 6-foot-7, 302 pounds, shoulders square and flat like a base camp at the foot of a sheer cliff to the top of his head, exhausted from smashing into things for hours, and lumbering into a training facility for his post-practice treatment.
