Tonight Leupke makes up for the fumble

He kind of has to.

That would have been a pretty powerful statement to end that drive and I think Fat Mike has had that in mind for a bit.

He wanted himself another John Kuhn. And it should have worked except for Prescott delivering the hand off too high, probably because they have barely practiced it in pads.

I was referring to your avatar, but continue to sass me with Jason Garrett on top of it and see where that gets you.

Been awhile since we've offered a sacrifice to the football gods...

They should, his role has been defined. He was suddenly on point last week. Until….

Yeah I mean I think there is a role for him. But he needs to not fuck up because the role isn't important enough to allow fumbles and missed blocking assignments.

Buddy was a fourth round pick. You will look up his scouting report now!

Overview
Blue-collar inside linebacker with good size and a forceful demeanor to stake his claim inside the box. Johnson developed into a highly respected team leader during his time with the Aggies. In just his second year at inside linebacker, Johnson showed great improvement in pursuit leverage and recognition of blocking schemes, but is still learning to recognize the best pathways to the football. He meets power with power when taking on blockers and does a nice job of playing off and finding his way toward the runner. There is still room for improvement as a move tackler in the open field and he's currently a coverage liability in the passing game. Johnson has the makeup of a two-down inside linebacker with special teams value.

I doubt it. I just think he really fought a fruitless and ignorant battle for the player and now is thrashing about swinging his sword like it matters.

Since we've dedicated Parsons to the Dline, we have jack and shit for linebacker at the moment. It feels like the bottom keeps getting lower as time goes by. Its a little frustrating.
