Dennard wasn't that great CB. He holds in a weak Big ten. He's going to get abused in the NFL.

 

[dubbsco]

Nah, just won the award for top CB in college football. Not that great.

 

[Mitchrapp]

He went to Michigan State. Clearly he's going to suck.

Lol. I actually kind of agree with this..

Tebow won some Heismans. You can hold in college.

Yeah, he's ok!

The media has attached the moniker of ?Air Traffic Controller? on the senior cornerback and dubbed the territory that Dennard covers as a ?No Fly Zone.? The Spartan defender has more than lived up to that lofty billing. Through thirteen games during his senior campaign, Dennard has had 111 passes targeted into his area, allowing just seventeen of those tosses to be completed (15.32%) for 91 yards, as he recorded fourteen passes defended (four interceptions, ten deflections) and rerouted/jammed his man coverage assignments away from 62 of those tosses (55.86%).

Those receivers produced an average of 5.35 yards per reception vs. Dennard, the lowest figure by any starting defensive back since the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) era began in 1998. He also held the opposition to an average of 0.8198 yards per pass attempt.

That pass attempt figure is the lowest ever recorded by any college player since The NFL Draft Report, a scouting information service, began compiling in-depth statistical reports for the league in 1968. In fact, only two other players went through an entire season allowing less that one yard per pass attempt.

Jim Marsalis of Tennessee State, held those receivers to just 0.969 yards per attempt in 1968. Marsalis was selected in the first round of the 1969 NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs, earning league Defensive Rookie of the Year honors that season. He started for the Chiefs throughout the 1976 season before ending his career as a member of the New Orleans Saints in 1977.

Marsalis was later followed by Deion Sanders of Florida State in 1988 (0.935 yard average), as the two-time NFC Defensive Player of the Year made his professional debut with the Atlanta Falcons in 1989 after they selected him in the first round of the draft. He played for Atlanta until 1993, spending time with San Francisco (1994), Dallas (1995-1999) and Washington (2000) before ending his NFL career with Baltimore (2004-2005). That places Dennard is some very elite company, but the ?ever so humble? Georgia native has only one goal in mind as his college career is coming to an end ? helping the Spartans defeat Stanford in the 2014 Rose Bowl.

 

[LKP]

that has nothing to do with the NFL. Dennard sucks now with his hip injury.

 

[tonyballs]

I agree that it's "his" strength. I'll leave it at that..

Yeah, you do that lol ..smdh

That was my way of saying you're still wrong and an idiot to boot. I was trying to be nice..

What you get for trying new things..

I know, retard. It's cool. He's been a solid blocker day 1 he's been here. Had a dip last year, but has proven he can hang with the big boys as one of the top TES in the blocking department. You're just too fn stupid...

Thats not the value you should be getting out of a top 16 pick or whatever it was. ...its just not.

Tony, I know you are a passionate dude, but it would go a long way in having people talk rational with you if you stop calling everyone retard, moron, f'ing idiot, so on.

Can't change a man.

Some people need to make themselves feel like they're in control or more powerful or to cover up their own insecurities

In most cases, often unrealized, they?ve experienced a trauma of their own in the past and they don?t know how to deal with the pain so they'll hurt others as a defense mechanism.

People?s tirades against other's will probably reveal to some just how unhappy and disillusioned and frustrated that person is with life, and that's their problem. Knowing this can go a long way to being able to detach from the comments. If you know it has more to do with the person making the comments than about you, it makes it far easier not feel hurt by what?s been said.

If you just picture him as a frat bro (seriously, read his posts) then it's all a bit easier to digest.

 

[inkfreq]

Seriously... like people on this board don't fuck with Tony as much as he fucks with them?

Hell, the Canadian jokes alone fuel that fire.

This shit goes both ways. Personally, I like messing with the Canuck, and I don't mind him calling me names... except "pipe" ... that one always seems so juvenile.

Tony's alright in my book, mouth and all.

I cut and pasted that shit... lol

Tony is a good dude.

 

[dubbsco]

It's just not in my nature to call people names. I will cuss at him (ie, calm the f down), but I don't feel like insulting people. There's enough pissing and anger in the world, I don't need to add to it lol

The guy has been a top 10 blocker up until last year. And they have gotten some solid play out of Pettigrew. His play isn't really an issue. Especially now that he can mainly focus on his blocking skills.
