    Whats funny is that he is a liability at corner... at safety or nickel he is a star.

    A liability at corner? Child, please.

    I do believe he's best suited for nickel so that he can blitz the QB easier. But he can more than hold his own at corner.

    #7 punt return was one of those moments in Tiger Stadium !

    I will put something up on the Wall of Fame that shows that moment for what it is. That return that made it 14 - 14 had me on my feet dancing and I called it hoping just before he caught the punt.

    Then to cap off the come back TM#7 ripped the ball out from a hog to give JJ the chance for a 2 min drive to end off the 1st half.

    good stuff from a great Tiger

    Comments noted and are spot-on. Without the jawing, TM7 now has all of the desirable traits and none of the liabilities. The upshot? Every frickin coach of all the teams in CFB would give their left nad (well--maybe give their OC's left nad) to get a player half as good as the Honey Badger. A household name in one season.

    Can't remember who, but someone on this site said they believed TM7 would be better than PP7. I don't know if I can make that call yet, but TM7 this season has been at least in the ballpark of PP7 last year. Agree?

    It's funny because he looked winded right at the end of the punt return. Couldn't help but think if he laid off the spice, he could run 90 yards at full speed. But on second look, it appears that he just pulled up and wasn't winded at all.

    He's been burned more then a few times, but I chalk that up to his aggressive nature. Definitely wouldn't label him a liability anywhere on the field.

    He looked good at safety. He is a rare talent. I bet he could line up at DT and make plays.
