re: TM7 Apologizes, of sorts, to Kirkpatrick

Not that anyone cares because this thread is obviously just a huge flame fest, but if you ever played football and were on the punt return unit then you would know the technique.

LSU practices it all the time, actually call it the "oh shite" move, when you have to block a guy who has a step on you and don't want a block in the back. taught to swing the arm with a closed fist to the center of his chest to gain some leverage without holding (closed fist) and without blocking in the back.

I was in the stadium so I still haven't seen the replay, but from reading about the play he tried this but hit him in the neck. We teach the technique, but you are supposed to hit his chest plate, not his neck.

I'm pretty sure the only thing that 80% of this entire thread's particpants have played is with their little pencil dicks.

Message Posted by crimsonsaint I don't want anything from him. He's your problem. Deal with it.

Good. STFU about him. The kid is clearly sorry. He was out of position because Dre is both tall and fast. If you've ever had to block or tackle someone considerably taller than you it's awkward. I was pissed after the play too but his reasoning and apology puts things into perspective. IMO TM7 grows up next year, becomes a team player and he will be Bamas problem as well as any other team we face

These drill occur before the "kicking a man while he is down" technique drill which is very important as you do not want to injure a toe.

Jefferson learned it from McFadden.

NO.

Jefferson wasn't in flip-flops and didn't injure his toe like McFadden.

Bama players were dropping all over the place...

Excellent explanation from someone who seems to know what they are talking about It will be overlooked by the idiots in this thread. Crimsonsaint, educate your dumb arse.

You're a fn idiot. TM got beat so all he could do was clothesline DK from behind. Dude talks shite every week before a game. Then taunts and talks shite every game. The play was fn dirty and his apology means squat.

no its totally justifiable because TM7 was just giving 110% and if youre doing that then there are no cheap shots in football. pussification of football continues

he hooked his shoulder pad. its not TM's fault Dre is too dumb to figure out how to put your hands out before landing on the ground

That's a good way to break an arm/wrist. Dre fell about as well as he could have. When you're moving backward that fast, there's really not much you can do. He also didn't have a lot of time to react, as he probably wasn't expecting Mathieu to spin him around. Mathieu shouldn't have done it, but it wasn't a vicious assault as some appear to believe.

I guess he could have caused a vertebral artery dissection, brain stem stroke, locked-in state, lots of badness. Looked pretty intentional to me. Maybe the trainer can give us her take.
