Figs and 007 are going to be killing people this year.
We all know DP brings the pain and now he has 2 others on his Death Squad.

****! Anyone remember all what Morris had to say in his speech and its context? Sad I missed that. Love me some QB leadership.

Pretty much did the opposite of everything in this video, but nice hit

I don't know who you are but don't run your mouth about a kid on a ******* message board. Chip's one of the nicest kids I know.

Can't blame him though. Fry cooks from McDonald's tend to hate everybody equally...

Watch the hit live. He comes from across the field and lowers his shoulder to make the hit. How was he supposed to hit Duke in that situation?

Figs hit was about as un-textbook as you can get. He put his head down, he didn't wrap up, he simply "thumped" Duke. Don't try to justify it. LOL

He hits a back like Trent Richardson like that and the dude bounces and keeps running

When you smack some1 that hard... No need to wrap up. Dude said good night

He dropped his shoulder and knocked Duke silly. Even Trent Richardson feels the pain on that hit.

I agree, this tackle is overrated. Poor form. Poor results.

How many backs are like Trent Richardson?
99% of RB's at the college level go down like a bag of rocks after that hit.

SMH. You guys are only focused on the result. The result, no matter what it is, doesn't justify poor form. I know for a fact that his coach told him "nice hit but you need to wrap up". Only little league coaches look at hits like that and tell their players it was an A+ effort.
You don't tell the kid "well 99% of RB's would've went down on that hit" cause you never know when he's gonna try to use that technique against that 1% that will run through it. You preach proper play against all opponents. If we look forward to appearing in championship games then there's a good chance that we're gonna face a 1% RB.
Not tryin to make it more of an issue than it really is, just sayin. I still loved it, but as a coach, I'd get excited but then pull him aside and tell him to make sure he brings the same thump and WRAPS UP.

Do you want Linebackers that can lay out the Duke Johnson's of the world or do you want a Linebacker who can tackle the Trent Richardsons?

For all of you coming down on the figs hit for not having proper form and all that, just remember, DP52 makes more hits of that nature than laying in and wrapping up. Just ask USF QB who probably is still injured from the hit that DP52 put on him WITHOUT wrapping up! The difference between DP52 and Figs, Ray Ray and Telmaque is DP52 knows when to lay a kill shot and when to wrap up for a sure tackle. I for one do not mind a laser shot every now and then to send a message. If that isn't his primary tackling technique, I'm not gonna cry over spilled milk. Sheesh!
