I gotta say my fav was against jNW his freshman year with Rob video bombing in the background.He's quite the X factor for the O. Line him up anywhere and he can make a play. That long TD he had at Wisconsin was as impressive as it was simple. Dude just ran by and beat his man with no wasted movement to the end zone. I look forward to seeing him with more snaps and more touches.
We were at the practice yesterday and that dude is just flat out fast. He reminds me of a Tevaun Smith type guy in space only shorter, but he’s definitely more stout physically. He’s got attitude as well, when he’d make a play in traffic or get some yards after contact he’d jaw with the defense and you could tell it’s get under guys’ skin. We were sitting by some folks who got pissed because “that’s your own teammate!” but to me that’s part of the game. A deal like this in front of fans and in Kinnick everyone is on edge and trying to make their case for playing time, and I say let it fly. This is an internal competition and if you can’t hang that’s your own fault.He's quite the X factor for the O. Line him up anywhere and he can make a play.

Yeah some bad tackling by NW didn't hurt but what strength and balance that took by him to just take off after being spun around like that. That won't be the last big play he makes either.I gotta say my fav was against jNW his freshman year with Rob video bombing in the background.

You're damn right that's football. Not everyone understands all that. A lot of players have that competitive edge to them. Football can't be played at 65%. It just can't. That is what helps separate the Jimmys from the Joes. Tracy isn't the biggest dude out there. That attitude is what helps him. I'd have been more surprised if he didn't play play like that.We were at the practice yesterday and that dude is just flat out fast.

A kid doesn't have to have that feisty edge and want to talk a lot out there. But it sure doesn't bother me when they do.I liked Dochterman's comparison of Tracy to Steve Smith. Strong, quick, and feisty.
