H.B. Blades laying some wood

I love a HARD hittting Intimidating Defense. Other teams hate to play against that. Hopefully, that is what we are building

Monkeydad · 05-02-2007, 02:12 PM

Woo...nice hit.

Looks like we made some GREAT picks this year!

I like that he kept his head up and actually went to wrap up on the tackle as opposed to just throwing his shoulder in for the big hit.

thats what you are suppose to do, for your own safety. Tackle with your head up so you can see what you are hitting. Less chance of getting severely injured or getting a penalty.

I understand that, but a lot of players in today's game when presented with that kind of opportunity for a monster hit will just throw their shoulder into a guys chest. They are looking to make it on "jacked up" rather than make a sure tackle. It's a thing of beauty to see such a powerful hit that also incorporates a perfect form tackle.

blades was a 3 year all conferance selection, big east defensive player of the year, first team all american, number 1 all time in tackles at pitt.......i think this ****er can play, i dont know why he fell or how but i do know he can play this game.....i remember a 5 round pick with alot of similar attributes and stats, zach thomas.....didnt take him long to make his mark...... ill bet right now he is better than rocky the big bust mcintosh but thats just my opinion and i hope it doesnt offend anyone like most of mine do

Kevikazi · 05-02-2007, 08:09 PM

I wouldn't really consider Rocky MacIntosh a bust. He only played and started handful of games. I don't think he's given a chance to prove himself yet.

Yeah me too, I thought he had a good season

He was the Defensive player of the year in a big time conference. I would expect nothing less.

The same reason that Ohio State's QB did. Lack of size.

I loved this pick. He is going to be our starting MLB in 1-2 years.

xxjuschylnxx · 05-03-2007, 09:59 AM

how can that tool say mcintosh is a bust... in the only game he started, he got 10 tackles. really hard to say hes poopy after that kind of performance.

TheMalcolmConnection · 05-03-2007, 10:00 AM

HA. Poopy. Interesting word choice.
