He was always more of a strong safety in the box type punisher/small LB, but we didn't have a true free safety type on that team. I have no doubt he'd be the best DB on this team today.
Targeting with mandatory ejection. Man that looked painful and set the tone for that game.
Yep. I was at the game as well. That hit set the tone for the rest of the night. Similar to the hit Spikes put on Moreno in the first series of the 08 game. Fortunate that it was not on the OU sideline. Big Game Bob may have bullied the ref into a flag.
You ain't lying. I read that and felt "I've got one last big hit in me." If this doesn't light a fire under the boys I don't know what will.
What a wonderful read. Very unexpected of course but absolutely fantastic letter and very inspiring from Joe Haden.
Years back I spoke with a player on that 2009 OU team. He said when Major Wright blew up their receiver like that they knew they might be in over their heads. I replied to him, "damn right you were."
