James Ross beast mode!

Submitted by Moleskyn on

I'd never heard of Cinemagram before I saw this, but this is awesome. I believe that's Dan Gibbs he destroys, then takes on Drake Johnson for the tackle.

Having trouble with the embed, so here's the link.

I am excite!

EDIT: Figured out the embed. Not sure why it's so small though.

EDIT #2: I wanted to capture this in an image, so I got a freeze-frame. I didn't notice Gibbs' leg in Ross' crotch before this.

Dang, I kind of had small hopes that Gibbs could see some playing time during his career here. He is a very large human being. That doesn't look too good now.

...wins it like this b/c he gets his lead foot (in this case his right) planted in the ground, while Gibbs's lead foot (his left) is in the air at point of contact.  Basically, JR just beat him to the punch really badly.

And i for some moronic reason was under the assumption that Royce J-stone would be the "beast" linebacker to come out of michigan from that class. those cass-tech kids never pan out. Good for james ross!

James Ross looked really good, I thought, in the time he played last year. Particularly in the Northwestern and Iowa games, when he was filling in for Demens (I think it was Demens), he managed to get 18 of his 35 tackles for the year in that 1.5 game stretch. It was great to see him come in and be immediately effectively like that. 

Thanks for sharing this!
