Matt James - You'll all love this

[DKSchrute]

"Most impressive: James is one huge run-blocking machine that just mauls defenders using his size and surprisingly athletic footwork. James also has a nasty streak and does not mind using physical intimidation as a method of inflicting his will on opponents. "

Thats what is so badly missed here. This was ND football from the Holtz years. oh, fyi, its from his rivals profile.

I hope they all get that mean streak. Hoping Longo/Kelly bring that mentality to the entire team

 

[DKSchrute]

These guys need to be absolute animals on the field who put fear into opponents, then be able to be perfect gentlemen afterwards.

This is the difficulty ND has in competing these days. It takes a rare type of person to fit the bill.

Trevor Robinson certainly fits this bill as well - I believe that Eric Olsen did as well, he just didn't always have all of the tools to succeed that James does. He also didn't have terrific coaching.

Sam Young attempted to impose his will but sadly did it after the play for a 15 yd infraction.

The only reason the James signing didn't get more play nationally is because he didn't do the hat dance on national TV. He could have easily lied to the world and said he was still struggling with his decision between OSU, ND, FL and Cinci. But instrad, he had class, dropped the 2 he was no longer considering, and made a decision, then alerted the coaches and the media. If he had waited and did it on ESPNU or CBS or whatever, it would have been big news, but this kid is a stud and a big get for us...

The most annoying ones are the ones where they either have a hat under another hat, or they throw all the hats away and pull one from under the table.
