Not to take anything away from Daniel but the run-blocking has been superb this season. From the O-Line, to the WRs, to B. Wilson. You can really see it in the vid.

Run blocking so rough ridin' superb that DT had to tell Braden Wilson to GTFOOMW, and eventually just throw his ass to the ground.

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not but BW did a pretty good job on that play, he showed enough to keep the contain man occupied then went downfield and got another defender. He was still leading the way when DT ran into him.

I'm pretty sure the idea is to use the blocking back as a cut point and not to try to give him a prostate exam. Isn't it????

Actually I was pointing out that BW is a ginormous waste of purple fabric used to make a Qhatz uniform.

Totally kidding Braden, don't kill me. We're cool, right?

Agree with you on music choice. A thousand train songs to choose from...

He looks lean. I think he could add another 20 and maybe 30 lbs. Imagine that beast at 250-260.

Ricky Williams 5'10" 230
Earl Campbell 5'11" 230
Daniel Thomas 6'2" 230

He wouldn't be as quick.

3:38 mark of that vid is his best run of the year so far...

I really hope he humiliates UCF to where they want to give up the sport.

Agreed. I appreciated the work to put the clips together, but the music made me want to shoot myself in the head.

Hey nightmare, say hi to Steve Atwater for me. If you can even see straight.

Bingo. That's what DT will look like in about 2 years. Plenty of quick guys in the league. Not many Christian Okoyes.

Do you ever retain anything you read on this board? Or do you just randomly reply to EVERY SINGLE THREAD in an effort to pad your post count?

Ira Hayes · « **Reply #20 on:** September 22, 2010, 09:13:54 PM »

Realistically though, Daniel right now looks kinda like Steven Jackson only not quite as fast. About the same size.

Don't worry about it dude, it didn't bother me all that much but unless it's some slow-mo dramatic PW-type video it's probably better to go with some harder rock or rap. Awesome vid though

Must be. OB has lots of love for Braden, and it looks like there's a good reason for that based on the DL's and DB's he's been flattening in the run game. I think that we should have BW doing some of the runs for a change of pace.
