What comments?

Ricky Jean-Francois and his "Car Wreck" defense are after Tim Tebow

Meet Ricky Jean-Francois. If the picture doesn't do the Tigers defensive tackle justice, check out this clip of him working out. When I talked with Jean-Francois last week, he said his defensive line getting a clean shot on a quarterback like Tim Tebow equates to "a car wreck without a seat belt."

Let the Florida-LSU week officially begin, folks.

"If we get a good shot on (Tebow), we're going to try our best to take him out of the game," Jean-Francois said. "With his size and his heart, it's hard to get a clean shot."

When asked how Tebow might deal with the pain of an LSU hit, Jean-Francois said "If he does get hurt, there's a trained medical staff at Florida, so you can go to the training room on Sunday."

That's one dude I wouldn't want to anger. In fairness, Jean-Francois and his fellow lineman Tyson Jackson both expressed a respect for Tebow and his toughness in last week's interviews. But that doesn't mean they don't want to lay him out, Jean-Francois said.

"I think every lineman wants to get a good hit on a Heisman Trophy winner," Jean-Francois said.

The Gators are going to have to avoid more than big hits in order to rebound from last year's 28-24 loss that included LSU's five straight fourth-down conversions. Jean-Francois said the fourth downs and Jacob Hester's touchdown run with 1:09 left "took the life out of them."

Gators linebacker Brandon Hicks said the defense is playing with revenge in mind. Florida practiced Sunday night and will be off on Monday.

"OK, this is the game," Hicks said. "This week, there's nothing else that really matters. There's no worrying about the bye week after LSU. It's just nothing but 8 p.m. this Saturday night. We've got a chip on our shoulders, a fire in our eyes to kick somebody's butt."

1. ESPN failed to report who supplied them with this fabricated quote of RJF. A homer from a Gator Blog site called Swamp Thing.

2. ESPN didn't call Miles and ask him about it. They only got a response from the Gators offensive Coordinator.

I smell something fishy.

Despite the poll or its results, RJF needs to STFU.

So quit hiding behind The Rant and go tell him yourself.

The ones fabricated by Fowler. A Florida Gator homer. I know him personally and he told me he made them up. All lies.

Well his lies have blown up this board, got a poll submitted by ESPN, was apparently on a scroll on ESPN, and made it on Mike and Mike in the morning. He better hope RJF doesn't find his arse.

You know ESPN is trying so hard for a story, Fowler is trying to get the gators fired up and make a name for himself. If you read Fowler's blog, he is an idiot with tons of typos. He says he had an "exclusive interview with Tyson Jackson". Really Fowler?!! Exclusive?! This guy needs to be exposed.

---

If it is lies I think he will be exposed. Because I am quite sure that Miles has been asked about RJF's comments. And I am sure he will ask RJF. And when/if he denies ever talking to the guy, he will be exposed.

I can see it now. Miles calls a press conference Saturday morning. He rants about how pissed he is, "RJF DID NOT even talk to Fowler. He did not say that he wanted to injure Tebow. He is busy. He has a game to play. Now if you don't mind, he needs to get back to his damn strong defensive line! Have a great day!"

as for tebow:

don't think for ONE SECOND that RJF isn't in his head right now.

its not like he said they are going to cheap shot him.

he just said if he gets a shot he is going to take it.

what else would he do?
