As was mentioned there's a certain amount of "shrinkage" :hihi: with lots of players but 3 inches is pushing it. Kevin Ellison rang Jackson's bell, wait till he gets hit by an NFL DB or LB. He may actually lose another inch.
actually had the game dvr'd and thought the same thing but upon further review i think it was a clean block. nootch probably watched it on cox where ali was close to running him down as well since they use another camera or maybe it was another play altogether.
Nope, I just got it wrong. Ali dove at him earlier in the play. For some reason, I thought CJ dove and Ali chased him.
In the event that it was Ali Highsmith running McFadden down, he would be the overal 1st round pick. A linebacker with good size that keeps up with a 4.33 RB, would be the ultimate defensive weapon. On Chad Jones, I remember that play and remembered thinking, OMG Jones is a beast for a safety. To have a safety with that kind of speed, wow. He was catching him and actually was having to drift over some to get behind him. I didn't remember Chad Jones speed being a big part of his qualities, but I must have been under a rock.
Chad Jones is an absolute freak of nature. The interception that he made vs UK was mind-boggling. And if you watch the replay of the last play vs UF (hail mary in the EZ), dude gets about 3' higher than everyone else to bat the ball down.
