Hell yes! RBs would be crazy not to want to play for Taylor and ND. Imagine how much more damage this dude could do with an actual threat in the passing game.

Well deserved. He earned it on his blocking alone.

That is a perfect example of “the lower man wins”.

It’s a shame we only get 1 more season with him.

I’ve seen some other pictures of JJ as well and he looks like he’s adding some solid muscle. And Lo Styles is looking jacked. Gotta get these guys the reps during spring ball.

I couldn't even tell that was Jordan. He looks like he's seriously put in the work. I'm getting anxious to see some spring ball.

Where did you see Lo Styles?

Lo Styles is getting rave reviews so far according to driskell. Can’t wait to see him on the field.

So, this was posted by Freeman at ISD. And, if you watch the video you'll see two things. Kyren muscle the defender to the ground like a boss. But you'll also see Book throw to a covered Tremble for a first down while missing a wide open Javon for a TD. And of course that's the first thing someone at ISD commented on, haha

It's funny that this guy chose to showcase this play for Kyren's blocking as he was called for holding on it. But, it does show his physicality and willingness to block which I'm sure will be a benefit to his pro stock given his size/stature.

The throw to Tremble or Javon wouldn't have mattered because of the holding but I just get a kick out of it. Book, the 3 year starter, can't find the wide open guy in the middle of the field with a clean pocket.

I count it as a win that Book even stayed in the pocket despite the fact that he picked the wrong receiver. Prior years Book would've had his eyes down looking for a hole to run through to escape any hint of pressure.

That was always the most frustrating part of watching Book, and I'm not here to knock the dude. As frustrating as his pocket presence and field vision were at times, he more than made up for it with his knack of extending plays and his incredible creativity. Certainly the pocket stuff limited him and that was exploited by Clemson in the rematch and Alabama, but he didn't become ND's all time winningest QB on accident. I was a big fan of #12, but understand the frustration that others had in him. But there will come a day when we miss having a gun slinger like him.

But back to the main topic:

If you're looking for some Kyren pass blocking porn, you're welcome.



EDIT:fixed it for you. Jst copy the url and paste into the video button link box in your text box tool bar.

Yea, no need to further belabor the point but slow day and that was funny. However, I've went over these numbers before and Book won a lot of games because of the defense he played with. Not the offense he was leading.

Well, that's an awesome development for the young man. It's going to be a fun year for him and Tyree.

definitely proves hes potentially highest NIL earner on the team especially after his interactions with LeBron James on twitter last year. It's viral moments like that which will bring in money for the players

Seems the dude has at least one per game where he just humiliates someone and they are always bigger than him.

Just an awesome young man, teammate, and football player. Too bad this terrible OL is going to derail what could've been a special final season for him.
