I realize very few on here like Crable, but you gotta say, that was a pretty damn impressive play to catch a guy who allegedly runs a 4.4

In the pantheon of Ron English-era Michigan back-seven players chasing down offensive skill guys from behind to prevent big TDs, yes, that's one of the better plays I've seen from a Michigan defender.

I wish Laurinaitis could miss tackles like Crable does, just so he can sprint an extra 72-yards down the field to attempt the tackle again and show off his mad wheelz.

:tongue2:

Re: "Michigan linebacker Shawn Crable roamed to his right and seemed to have Michigan State?s Javon Ringer wrapped up near the sideline. Ringer got loose, ran across the field and was headed for a touchdown."

I was really impressed with Crable's tackling ability on that play. He had Ringer wrapped up behind the line of scrimmage and wasn't able to bring him down. The only reason that Crable was able to chase Ringer down (after a 72 yard run) was that he allowed Ringer to break away from his original tackling attempt. Only in Michigan can a guy blow a tackle, give up a 72 yard gain, and get praised for a great effort. :biggrin:

Not true! If you refer back to the Bengals/Browns game thread, you will see that I was bitching about the announcers praising Leon Hall for doing the exact same thing on a veeeery long kickoff return. Huh....remind me again....where did Leon play his college ball?

Me said:
Huh. Imagine that. Leon Hall trying to chase someone down from behind. I don't know if anyone else caught this bit, but on Cribbs' second long return (called back for penalty), the announcers showed Hall trying to "tackle" Cribbs around the Browns 35 by shoving him in the chest then praised him for hustling down to make the tackle at the Bengals 5.

Uh, gee, you dumb assholes. If he'd wrapped him up when he had the chance, he wouldn't have even had to chase him down.

Mili, I don't want to be anything but supportive here, and we seem to agree on most things, but in this case at least, I think you may not be 100% accurate in your assertion. I have really tried to understand your point of view and to be open-minded, but I just can't get there.

Here's my problem.

You see, I just can't imagine that he's ever been laid because that would take balls and I don't think he has any from what I have seen. :biggrin:

[start sarcasm font] you're not telling the whole story D and missing the point here. yeah, sure, Crable probably woulda/shoulda caught up ... but what your picture fails to highlight is that Crable WAS actually covering the motion man on that play and did a HECK of a job giving chase anyway![end sarcasm font]
