I wouldn't say that was great blocking, but he had great effort and that counts for a lot. The bad form nearly lead to a sack on the first block, but the second block opened Book up to the outside. I'd give him a "C-" on his form, but he gets an "A" for the hustle to get back up and make the second block.

Eye of the beholder.. as much as the fumble on the 1st play is "how you lose to navy", this play is "how you win vs Navy" ... the hustle, the effort, the consciousness to keep it going... nothing short of awesome. Teammates see that and feed off of it. Had he done that last year I'd go so far as to saying hed be wearing a C this year.

With a 4 game suspension? The same ND that prevented Ronnie Stanley from being a senior captain for parking tickets?

No, sorry in my head I prefaced that by saying had the 4 game suspension happened last year.. but then again, had he matured as a player/person like this last year then maybe the whole incident in december never happens.

and what will teammates say about Pride's powder puff football tackle. Polar opposites. The rusher was coming in at a blinding speed. Many backs whiff. He got him off the intended path and did the job. At least a B if not better but an A for Dex! I bet Kelly wishes he had Dex for one more year.

He was trying to strip the ball. Overly aggressive play.

Great piece on "Juice"

Wow! That's pretty awesome.

That pride prevented the RB from getting out of bounds, thereby keeping the clock going. Heads up play....despite it being the first play in the 2nd half

Dexter was the first 200 yard rusher against FSU since 1982.

Man, I hope he gets drafted early. He's improved so much this year

Geez, how about a NSFW heads up next time? Don't we have a Gentlemen's Club for these kinds of posts?

 

[Luckylucci]

So, if Dex had played the entire season, would his stats be good enough for Heisman consideration. He's avg. 128 yds and 1.66 td's/game. That'd put him on pace for approx. 1532 yds and 20 TD's, on a possibly undefeated ND team?

 

[koonja]

Am I still the village idiot for holding firm in my stance that he'll be drafted before Josh Adams?

A stance I've publicly held since October 2017?

Crickets?

Think like everyone else: "Reps man, good post."

Think for yourself: (Longo sucks, Wimbush will struggle in 2018 and shouldn't be given the job, Dexter is better than Adams): "You're an idiot. You must be a troll. Why aren't the mods banning this moron?"

Consideration, yes, but Pitt and Northwestern stats would've torpedoed any chance he would've had.

Congrats Koon.

Not sure what's going on, but we've had several IE posters go out of their way the last several days to pat themselves on the back. Someone actually went back and searched for a post a year old just so they could quote themselves and puff out their chest. I guess I need to start bookmarking any "hot takes" I make for future bragging rights.

Can't speak for everyone else, but I post this so that people don't spaz out like the hitchhiker in There's Something About Mary anytime there's an opinion that goes against the group think can realize how dumb it is to do just that.

Can't speak for everyone else, but since you happen to be the one to ask, I post this so that people like you who spaz out like the hitchhiker in There's Something About Mary anytime there's an opinion that goes against the group think can realize how dumb it is to do just that.

You did this recently but honestly, you don't register high enough on my stalker list so I don't even know what the topic was that you panicked and resorted to this foul behavior on.

Was it my opinion that Dexter was better than Adams? That's freaking awesome if so, lol.

Possibly ..... The only way you will know for sure is to look back at my posts. I suggest you start searching immediately. Let me know what you find.

I don't care to look. You probably think I'm being a jerk, but I'm trying to prevent exactly that.

Attacking someone for having an opinion you don't agree with is a bad look every time.

When you attack them and they turn out right, it's a really bad look.

Best to let people disagree politely, which most on here do but a dozen or so cannot seem to do.

Polite disagreement and no tolerance of bullying will be emphasized when I finally accept a mod position.

LMAO

When/if you become a mod, I'm taking a virtual dump on every position you take.

Koon, there are memes for this sort of flex:

Just pick a side. All I need to know is ... do you concur?

 

[OhioIrish31]

I'm on board!!

 

[Irish YJ]

Dex is #22 in yards per attempt (6.8)
Tied for #1 in longest rush (97)
Tied for #28 in TDs (10) - he would be tied for 4th normalizing for the four games he missed.
Would be #9 in total yards normalizing for the four games he missed

Still not a complete back to you guys?

Do you see how much he's used in the passing game? Do you see what happens literally every game when you feed him?

You're all only a couple years behind me on this one. Not bad actually.
