You Need a Tackle. Who you got?

Submitted by Ziff72 on

Had a discussion about tackling in a previous thread.  I won't try and taint the jury so I just want to give you a scenario and see what you think.

Let's suppose you are Jamiemac and you are at the UM spring game.  Since you are a gambling addict you have bet Ace on the Spring Game.  The maize team is heading down on the last drive and you need a stop to win the bet.   Borges has called a throwback screen to Toussaint and your heart is rising in your throat as you see vast green space in front of him.  The lineman has cut one defender but one guy has read the play and he has recovered enough to be 8 yds away squared up with Toussiant as Toussaint has secured the catch.

Who do you want to that defender to be to save you?

One catch it can't be Kovacs because Mattison has him on the sidelines calling the defense.

Well, I would hope Marvin Robinson is healthy enough and back on the field, and would blow up that play.

However, the spring game is a great chance for walk-ons to make some plays and enjoy some deserved time on the Big House turf, so I will put my trust in Charlie Zeller (who wears the Captain's #19) to make the tackle.

When I started reading I thought it would be Kovacs obviously, but then you had to go and make things difficult.

I'd probably go with Jake Ryan or Countess. Both make plays and are pretty sure tacklers.
