Chad Thomas

[TreOFive]

Bethune Cookman University

Lets talk in November and see what trend has established itself then.

So wtf are we supposed to talk about until then? Just listen to constant *****ing and ****?

No but stop lauding these insignificant efforts as a sign that anything has changed. But hey if you like setting yourself up for failure then by all means stay the course. Let me help a bit...."we back", "we going undefeated", "did you all see the way we killd BCU?", "That is old school canes football", "AG has changed"...etc

Unlike most of these sad sacks of **** that ***** on these boards all day, I have a life that doesnt revolve around Canes football. So its kind of hard to "be set up for faliure" after a win or a loss. Try it sometime.

You must have a dual doctorate in applied common sense, would love to hear your thoughts on the theory of relativity

 

[ThomasM]

Not only did he erect some pillars, but he knocked down some of Bethune's pillars along the way.

Squeezed from the bottom up, while circling the wagons and ignoring the noise.

Figures that DK72 (AKA the Al Golden ***** collector) would down vote

DK down vote this to confirm your status in AG's life

No, I down voted it because you're an idiot.

well thanks for confirming everyone suspicions. Id rather be called an idiot than confirm that I drink another mans love juice. Is it true AG calls you salty pleasure?

 

[TreOFive]

What are you going to say WHEN they beat Nebraska convincingly? Same thing?

FIFY

Al Golden is 29-22 @ miami. Odds say he loses more than he wins vs a real team (i.e., not BCU, SSU, FAMU etc)

 

[Dallas]

I don't know why Chad leaves the field?

 

[Cane Dynasty]

Keep the cyber bullies away from him!

 

[Coach Macho]

Amazing what he can do when he's allowed to get after it instead of controlling a B-gap.


I think he's a first round talent.

Norton and Moten also showed flashes.

Well then, in that case, the Bethune Cookman OLineman that kept Chad from hitting Bethune quarterback all game long would be not only a 1st round talent but a future perennial All-Pro. Chad only touched a Bethune offensive player only after that player was under wraps by a UM defender, and thus was rewarded with an assisted tackle.

Did you actually watch Chad against their O-line? Or are you just regurgitating stats?

First sack of the game was due to Chad.

I saw the same thing. Chad was being double and triple teamed, especially on his inside moves. We had all kinds of instant pressure from his outside because of him.

Triple teamed?

Chad Thomas entered into the game on the first third down and rushed against the LT. He had a beautiful arm over and got to the inside shoulder of the LT who overcommitted to the outside and got his feet out of whack. Let's be real- that kid sucks- but it was the first time I've seen a Miami DL actually use an inside arm-over that worked. It was due to the fact Chad is too quick if the LT didn't cheat, and too strong if he oversets to the inside. It is the responsibility of an OL to work inside-out and Chad still got there first. Corn got the sack, but the entire play was made by Chad. Elder just had a free run as the QB had to bail to get outside of Chad who had penetration. It was exactly the type of one-gap quick penetration I want to see from our DL. The great thing is it was a smart scheme as well, with Chad diving to the inside, Elder was on the outside blitzing, so even if they had run outside zone and Chad had gotten sucked inside, Elder would've been there to handle the bounce. Credit where credit is due on that play.

Later, he showed violent hands to lock out the T, control him with leverage and push the runner back inside to his help. He gets zero credit in the stat sheet, but that is the kid of play we haven't seen from our defensive line in several years. He has extremely strong hands and long arms. His quickness can cause as many problems for running lanes as he does when rushing the passer. His grade in this game was the highest of any defensive linemen for me.

Add to that he has now put on tape that he'll attack the inside shoulder of a T with an arm-over and you won't see the T cheat to get out into his kick-slide nearly as often because getting beat back inside is the most embarrassing thing for an OL.

For me, I have to give credit to our DL coach because I saw real hand usage for the first time in a long time. If he can teach our kids to get into the linemen's chest when they stand tall to withstand the bullrush and swim over their initial punch when they get aggressive, we will get back to at least being a competent defense again.

 

[GonzoCane]

The fact that he was moving toward the LOS at the snap was encouraging, to say the least. D'No just gets it. Or maybe Melvin hit him with a brick.

 

[jw410]

Went to the game and he really impressed me. Kendrick Norton is going to be a force as well.

Found this interesting piece about kendrick norton
Norton is the No. 235 overall player and No. 12 offensive guard on the 247Sports Composite. His future, however, may lie on the defensive side of the ball, where his size (6'3", 305 lbs) and burst would make for a good three-technique tackle in a 4-3 defense

Seems others have confirmed what Dmoney said.. This guy Norton has a mean burst.

 

[jw410]

What are you going to say if they beat Nebraska convincingly? Same thing?

Of course not..they will say that NEB sucks..they lost to a bunch of Mormons. The season wont start for the doom and gloomers until the FSU game. Cant even talk Cane football anymore on here. Sheesh. Mide as well shut the Football Forum down until FSU week..

Now folks are understanding how this board fell off! Disgusting.

You want violent hands?

Thanks for confirming you are a child, and one with mental/emotional issues at that. Now let the adults talk football while you talk about "****" and whatever other immature nonsense you'd like.
