Impressive hit. Gonna be fun to watch him here! Also, I'm not sure you can embed vines. At least not by using their built in embed process because it uses an iFrame and I'm not sure those are supported.
After some fenangling I think I got it:

I could be wrong, but I believe that particular WR will think twice now before he tries to pick up a reception in the vicinity of Peppers. I don't mind having a defensive backfield that inspires that sort of apprehension.
September 29th, 2013 at 10:32 PM ^
Great googly moogly.
September 29th, 2013 at 11:55 PM ^
like he was hit with a lead-filled snowshoe.
September 30th, 2013 at 12:51 AM ^
Peek-a-boo
September 30th, 2013 at 7:18 AM ^
as an Eskimo boy can be
September 29th, 2013 at 10:33 PM ^
I think that was more of the hit stick button
September 29th, 2013 at 10:51 PM ^
I thought it was called a truck stick way back in Madden 03 or 05. One or the other. Thats what I've always called it at least
Edit: Looks like it was 06. Per the source of all e-knowledge, wikipedia:
In Madden NFL 06, the "Truck Stick" was introduced.
September 29th, 2013 at 10:52 PM ^
The "Truck Stick" is used on offense in Madden and the "Hit Stick" is used on defense. Pretty similar, but not quite the same.
September 29th, 2013 at 11:00 PM ^
True. And I think the hit stick was created in 05 when ray Lewis was on the cover and they wanted to make it more of a defensive game
September 29th, 2013 at 10:46 PM ^
Get to campus fast enough...
September 29th, 2013 at 10:55 PM ^
Can he play center too?
September 29th, 2013 at 11:00 PM ^
Probably. He's bigger than Jacky boy.
September 29th, 2013 at 11:14 PM ^
Was he pronounced dead on the scene?
September 29th, 2013 at 11:26 PM ^
He just killed a guy.
September 29th, 2013 at 11:28 PM ^
I think Hoke would've heard the physicalness had he been there.
September 30th, 2013 at 12:30 AM ^
Decent chance he heard it anyhow, wherever he may have been.
September 29th, 2013 at 11:32 PM ^
Excellent
September 29th, 2013 at 11:48 PM ^
Is this another huge hit, or the same one from about a week ago?
September 30th, 2013 at 9:14 AM ^
I think it's the same one. Not that I don't mind watching it again though.
September 29th, 2013 at 11:58 PM ^
but i'd assume that's a $50k fine in the nfl
September 30th, 2013 at 12:17 AM ^
Had to take a step back from the violence. Hilarious.
September 30th, 2013 at 12:45 AM ^
He quickly realized that he just witnessed a murder and thought "man, I got to get outta here"
September 30th, 2013 at 11:42 AM ^
That RB he through to the ground was at least admitted to the ICU if not DOA.
September 30th, 2013 at 11:04 PM ^
to Iowa?
September 30th, 2013 at 12:23 AM ^
It's not fair to other kids that talents like Peppers are on the same field. That poor kids legs are fun to watch.
September 30th, 2013 at 12:51 AM ^
Spicy. This guy will probably be our best defensive player in year one.
September 30th, 2013 at 9:14 AM ^
What about Da'Shawn Hand?
/s
/butnotreally
September 30th, 2013 at 11:01 AM ^
He is a big kid against little kids. I'm never sold on big guys to produce early on, they're no longer the big kids in college and take time to produce(ie Gabe Watson, Will Campbell).
September 30th, 2013 at 1:03 PM ^
will definitely have the bigger impact early on. As you say, Hand can easily dominate at the H.S. level because of his huge physical advantage against most other kids. In college, he will be up against lots of bigger and possibly stronger guys from the get go. Peppers on the other hand is already physically more gifted than most college players. Plus, it's just easier for offensive players to make a big impact early than on defense. And Peppers will almost surely be used on selected offensive plays in year 1. It'll still take him some time to learn college defense though.
September 30th, 2013 at 1:17 AM ^
He would be the most explosive player on the roster this year. Either RB or WR...he needs to be entrenched in the offensive game plan from Day one. We need play makers badly and this kid is a pure difference maker with the ball in his hand. I really hope we dont camo him out solely on defense....major disservice if we do.
September 30th, 2013 at 2:40 AM ^
Wonder what the recruiting promises were....
September 30th, 2013 at 6:02 AM ^
Especially seeing his stats every week, I think he's the closest player to being able to play both ways we've recruited in a long time. He could definitely play RB or WR. Seeing plays like this though make me more excited than anything, backing up all that hype. A truly destructive DB.
September 30th, 2013 at 1:09 PM ^
I'd take a Charles Woodson II in a heartbeat. Having such a disruptive player on the defense gives us a game-changing advantage. He WILL get some pick-6's and cause fumbles on plays, including some devastating corner blitzes. That being said, I do agree that Michigan needs to get him involved on the offensive side of the ball somehow too, or maybe even punt returns.
September 30th, 2013 at 5:47 PM ^
I think the thing that worries me about hand is the competition he plays against. From my understanding it's nothing to write home about, so does that make him look like superman?
PEPPERS I GUESS IS PLAYING TOP TALENT EVERY YEAR WHICH TELLS. ME HE WILL BE READY VERY SOON!!!
September 30th, 2013 at 8:05 PM ^
The dream for me would be for Peppers to enroll early, get involved in spring ball (i.e. playbook, system, etc) and a whole summer of weight training. I think if you add that all up, he's going to be an impressive athlete to watch at Stadium and Main out of the gate next fall.
The worry for me is he's confined to defense. I think his HS coach said something to the effect of "give him 5 touches on offense a game". Seems like he'd be a perfect complement to what Norfleet is doing with jet sweeps/reverse/double reverse except at 6' x 210. Put Fleet and Peppers on kickoff returns...no "safe" alternative for the other team other than to launch it into the first row of seats behind the endzone!
