TM7 holding Dre

This was posted in another thread (by SouljaBreaux I think)- but since it could get buried ,I wanted to make sure that rantards saw this.

The replay does show unnecessary contact from Mathieu by putting a hand on the shoulder - Since both players were running at full speed , it threw Dre off balance and he fell.

It was not a thuggish move or a dirty play - it was holding as the Refs called it and it was penalized as such.

Someone did mention that Dre did the same thing to Mathieu in a previous play and this was the retaliation (unfortunate to be a more obvious play).

Was it a bad play - Yes

Was it dirty/low-level -NO

Agreed, it was a hold and Dre (unfortunately) was injured on the play, but it was not dirty or intentional.

It was a regrettable injury, but we were penalized and valuable field position was lost.

Agree. A mountain out of a molehill. Bad play, but no big deal.

Because we fricking won!

Only reason anyone throws out the word dirty is because Dre was on the ground for awhile. It was a stupid play by TM7 but in my opinion he was trying to get his arm in front to get Dre off target. He made the bad decision to grab on when he knew he wouldn't get enough.

All this bitching cause a player was hit in their chestpad and then spun AND the flag was thrown, so they don't even have that. More than can be said for block in the back on every screen play they ran.

Agree bad play but not what people have made it out to be. What gets people more fired up is the fact that he got injured.

DL and OL get hurt even worse (Sam Montgomery, Nevis, Lonergan, Loston) during regular play - it is part of the game - This is classic case of over-reaction by one arse and then other sheep follow course and start parroting the same crap.

What is worse is not that the Bammers are butthurt - but there are loads of LSU fans who just assumed that TM7 was a dirty player who played to injure an opponent - fricking senseless rantards.

In real time it looked like TM7 hit him in the throat. On the replay you can clearly see TM7 reached around and grabbed the player's jersey.

Not a cheap shot, just a bad play.

Holy shite! I had to work last night, so I didn't get to see any of the game. I kept reading how he should sit, and how it was a dirty.

After seeing the replay, there sure are a lot of sore, sandy vaginas talking about that play. Kirkpatrick got hurt on a freak play, not one that was dirty.

When you make such statements please provide a link or give the offline source.

It is merely that too many people start this kind of talk - "my friend read somewhere" " I heard a guy say" and there is no source. For that reason alone and not to cast aspersions or doubt the veracity of your statement , some proof would be nice.

I started this thread to clear up the issue and vague statements don't help the matter.

15 burned him tonight. What big tackles did he make tonight. All I know is that he almost cost LSU the game tonight with his selfish play on the punt


1. Burned? 15 never got behind him. Yes he had 2 catches on a crossing pattern in which he went out of bounds. Not exactly burned. So he gave up 2 catches and you say he was burned?

2. He SAVED LSU the game by coming across the entire football field to tackle Richardson on one of the busted plays. And He made another key solo tackle that could have also resulted in a touchdown. Either one would have cost us the game.

3. He made a mental mistake, but it is not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. Especially the ones claiming he "punched" the guy. Guys hold on punt returns all the time, he was beat and attempted a last ditch effort then immediately realized he was wrong and actually tried to let up.


I really think it's time for LSU fans to accept TM7 for who he is. For those calling him dirty; that is the farthest from the truth and down right wrong to label him a dirty player. He has never once been a dirty player. Does he talk trash? Yes.. He does. Does him believing he has hater fuel him? Yes it clearly does. It clearly is a motivation he prefers to have.. but in no way is he saying anything thuggish or doing anything wrong. Let him be himself. Yeah it's nice to have guys who don't talk and have all the class in the world.. but it's also nice to have guys like Tyrann who busts their arse for their team and aren't afraid to talk the talk and walk the walk.

And for all those people claiming other corners are better.. everyone has a role and you can't say they are all more valuable. TM7 is a difference maker game in and game out. He makes plays.

TM7 Saves A TD. Notice where he is lined up.

and here is the Full length version the TM7 holding penalty.

TM7 Holding

I think some people should eat crow about calling him dirty and saying he punched the dude.. but it's whatever. I support Tyrann.

In any case I am not trivializing the injury , if it happened. Merely stating that it was a football injury- not a calculated dirty play to hurt someone.
