[QUOTE="Sideways, post: 302058, member: 2451"] Brings to mind a player Florida had some years ago: Ahmad Black, a defensive back. He was widely derided as just a placeholder until much more talented defensive backs asserted themselves. He was said to be in various ways: "Not big enough" Not fast enough" "Only a three star" "Last player taken in his recruiting class" "Played at a small school, not used to big time competition in high school" "Didn't have the measureables we look for in an elite Florida Gator DB" Blah Blah Blah. 'Dude did not do anything but make plays. Need a big hit on a tight end catching a post pattern pass? He delivered. Need a sure tackle in the open field? He delivered Need a pass breakup on a perfectly thrown pass to a wide out? He delivered. Nothing fancy, no eye candy, just a good football player. The closest Tech DB that fits that mold would be Jemeah (sp?) Thomas from a few years ago. Textbook tackling form and seemingly always in position. I, for one, can live with that. [/QUOTE]
