Game Ball for the Defense!!!!

[Bruce]

Nick Collins released...

... before the game last night by aliens who had a poor clone taking his place for much of this season

It was great to see Nick play up to his promise in last night's game. He had solid coverage and hit like a sledge-hammer.

... Brady Poppinga's monster tackle on what looked to be a sure first down killed a key
Viking drive.

And this guy...

... played like the BIG MAN Pickett is -- as did Williams.

This DE put on constant pressure...

You got me Bruce. :thumbsup:

I couldn't understand what he would have done to merit being released.

Nick Collins released...

For some reason. I was expecting a thread like this, for Bubba Franks. Obviously, being legit.

Poppinga's tackle on Tav was absolutely sick. I want that man's jersey for Christmas.

It really was!!!

Not many guys could reach out and make that tackle. It really showed how powerful Popp is -- he has the size and strength to develop into a great (SAM) strong-side LB.

wpr, yooperfan, Zero2Cool: Actually I kind of regret the title (in fact I am about to change if edit allows it) because it detracted from the larger point about the defense as a unit stepping up and playing great in a HUGE rivalry game with (however limited) playoff hopes for both teams on the line.

I was Poppinga neutral before that tackle. Now I'm a Poppinga fan.

Nope, sorry. He was a TT pick in TT's first draft. Fourth round I believe.
