Asante comes “wood included”

August 30th, 2010 | By boadurichard

I couldn’t get video of the above pictured hit, but it occurred last night during the Steelers vs. Broncos pre-season game. Stefan Logan of the Steelers totally upended Matthew Willis of the Broncos.

The big hit of the weekend award goes to 5′10″ 185lbs. Asante Samuel. Yeah, he’s light in the ass but full speed up against a pint sized player in Dexter McCluster who is about 170lbs. tops! Then Asante is going to win that battle all day long. Word on the street is the hooded sweatshirt man in New England let Samuel go, because he couldn’t tackle. Hmmm…I don’t know about that one.

JIMMY Awards: Week 11

November 17th, 2009 | By boadurichard

Here are the JIMMY Awards for the 11 Week of Football

Dexter McCluster, RB/WR Ole Miss

McCluster did his Barry Sanders today. If you saw some of the cuts he made against Tennessee, oh wee! Ole Rebel rushed 25 times for 282 yards and 4 TDs in a 42-17 win over Tennessee. Just the second time in his career that he has had 20 or more carries in a single game.

Kendric Burney, CB North Carolina

Remember all of the Jacory Harris for Heisman talk? Well Burney wasn’t listening. He picked off Harris three times and took one back to the house in a 33-24 win over the Miami Hurricanes.

Chris Johnson, RB Titans

Why can’t this man get any love? He is the MVP and NFL Offensive Player of the year hands down. Look at his offensive line and his quarterback for the first seven games before VY took the helm for the last two. He rushed 26 times for 132 yards and 2 TDs. He wasn’t done though, chill out and wait a minute. He also grabbed 9 balls for 100 yards. This boy is bad! Plain and simple.

Charles Woodson, CB Packers

He dominated this game. So many people doubted this man when signed as a free agent in 2005 but he’s got 24 interceptions in 58 games with the team. This past Sunday against the Cowboys he recorded 9 tackles, 2 forced fumbles, a sack and an interception to win the game.
