Goodness, that made Jadaveon Clowney blush.
Deone Walker hit
- Thread starter seccats04
- Start date
Big time play…kid is going to be a stud. This freshman class is awesome!
Dude is ridiculous. He’s going to be a star.
Couple of these older dudes better step up or he won't be 3rd string much longer.
I’m really really trying to not fall into the Reggie White comparison trap, but perhaps next year or the next.
More impressive than the hit was how he tossed the center 5 yards.
The 3-4 defense works when you have some pressure from the 3 down linemen vs just 3 guy tying up blockers which is ok. Ox and Walker will do more than that. A lot of space will be eaten up by this D line freeing up Weaver and Wright to move to the ball. 2nd half shut out looked good.
Definite big time play. Looks like he could be a dude for sure.
Reminded me of what the big dude from UGA did to Fortner last year. Truly impressive.
Jeff Piecoro said Walker could be the next Art Still. At his size he might be the next two Art Stills.
I think I yelled “what the hell just happened?” when the center went flying. Haha…
I’m waiting to see if the weight Ox took off is beneficial. Usually d line players try to gain weight. Does look quicker but maybe not as stout? Interesting.
Perhaps that good but a different position. DW is DT/NT. AS was a DT/DE; i.e., faster but not as strong.
Rogers was in on several tackles last night thought he played a very solid game. Whole defense was lights out
Isaiah
He was starting to look dominant on passing downs before he got hurt last year. It was kind of crazy how he would shoot through the line from the DT spot and get to the QB.
He hasn’t picked up where he left off, but it’s still early in the season. He may not be back to 100% health.

Art pretty much shut down the run game on his side of the field. Maybe that was what Jeff was talking about. The hit he put on that running back late in the game was a massacre.
I thought it was interesting that Florida's Heisman QB audibled into that play ... ooops.
Lol As Im rewatching the Walker truck, Im eating Detroit style pizza from the Hut and I just fini jogging with my Snell jersey #26, the same # we scored v UF yesterday!
Im telling you guys something special is brewing!

Was about to post the same thing. Curci always said Still could take care of his side of the field himself. Plus Still was 6'7'-6'8", I think some forget that.
Different type of game last night -- it was mostly all about staying in your lanes, and contain Richardson....
No disagreement. But as you say, he was on the side of the field. DW is in the middle.
I've been thinking that since last night. That's Stoops' style. Late in game, people on the game thread were calling for CMS to open the play calling on 3 & 8/whatever in FL territory vs. playing ball control. But he knew what his D was & could continue to do so thought the bigger risk was a bad O play. Vindicated to me.
I like the way he didn't showboat ... business as usual.
I could see them using him down on the goal line to block on offense, too ... next to Goodwin.
I like him on the edge. It has a Calvin Taylor look to it. Remember Calvin was 6'8" 310# and seemed to just swallow up one half of the LOS. Walker looks like he's doing the same thing.
Or put him in at fullback. It would be hilarious to see him blowing guys up from that spot.
They were both in on this play. I think we’ll see them on field together a lot.
We have great depth that showed last night in 4th qtr. We have 6-7 guys that rotate in the front 3. That’s how you have strong line. I like Rogers and Walker on field at same time.
I thought the view from the endzone was even more impressive as you could really see him toss the center.
Did I read his foot work is so fast he was compared to " A Dancing Bear"?
Yeah, but he appears to be a picky eater... he just tossed that first one aside like it was nothing.
6’ 6” 343 pounds. He shed 30 pounds to get into playing shape.
The kid's a stud. These freshman have my jaw on the floor a lot. That dane key touchdown catch was elite. Walker looks like an Alien. Brown's KR was unreal.
Wasn't that long ago we were pitching kids early playing time because we needed them. Now we've got the most talented group of upperclassmen I can ever remember, and we have true freshman playing meaningful snaps.
We're truly in the golden age.

Gotta eat the one with the ball.Yeah, but he appears to be a picky eater... he just tossed that first one aside like it was nothing.
