Would it be just Fred's head or the entire Jackson?

When I think of the entire Jackson, I imagine something like the Paul Bunyan trophy. However, the Fred Head could be quite a seller.

Perry

I never thought of Hopkins as Chris Perry. I always think of Perry as more of a Minor type, with more speed. Hopkins reminds me of Wheatly, but not quite as fast. It just seems like an interesting comparison.
Like a blind man at an orgy, I was going to have to feel my way through

I see Hopkins
I see Hopkins
as aspiring to be more of an A-Train back. Wheatley had sprinter speed and Perry was very quick. I see Hopkins as more of a power back like A-Train, plain and simple. I think that's what we have in Hopkins and that's how he should model his game; see the hole and power through it.
...confidence is the stain they can't wipe off...

I don't think that guy can speak because he speaks with emotion and feelings. Instead of saying, "o I'm really upset with myself over that last play" he bashes his head with the helmet. Gotta love players who put it all on the line like he does

Lewan concussion
Lewan concussion
Not to be an armchair doc, but I wonder if Lewan's concussion-like symptons might have originated with his carry. Looks like his head hits the ground in a (un)funny way when he goes down.

He does have a long way to fall from his height. Seeing the tackle again, it made me nervous for his knees if he gets another carry, since there seems to be only one way to tackle someone of that size.

It makes me happy to see all the good kids we're assembling on this squad, it's sort of striking how genuine they all seem. Plus, they don't seem to be stupid, so that's nice.

First the concussion, and then he becomes the first Michigan ballcarrier in 30 years to NOT receive glowing reviews from Fred Jackson.

I want to wake up to a Fred Jackson alarm clock.
FJAC: "Good morning His Dudeness, you are a great man. The greatest man I have ever seen. You are going to be victorious over this day. I know Steve Jobs and you are pretty close. By the time you retire I think people will say His Dudeness and Steve Jobs in the same sentence. Get your pants on and get out there."
or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.
