Alshon Jeffery

First of all, to the guy who called Jeffrey a slew of insults, including "thug"... lol dude please go back and watch the replay... where I come from, you get ejected for throwing punches (which your boy did).... Yeah, Alshon grabbed the facemash and shoved him- both inappropriate, but NOONE EVER GETS EJECTED FOR THAT. That was ridiculous. Alshon Jeffery is far from a thug- the guy stays far away from trouble... so watch your mouth, man please and learn to be a rational human being. All the people trying to downplay Alshon and say you aren't impressed, I can simply laugh at you. If one of your receivers made plays like that, you would all be going nuts... and to say the hail mary was a "fluke play"... um no, this wasn't a tip ball that he happened to be in the area of- Alshon straight mossed 3 of your players and then willed his way to the endzone- that was a beastly individual play so please don't be a bad sport about it.

WHAT?

 
hail marys are fluke plays. sorry it's a fact. And this one, WHERE I COME FROM WHEN YOU PUSH AND DBACK IN FRONT OF YOU AWAY TO CATCH THE BALL, IT'S OFFENSIVE PASS INTERFERENCE. WAH WAH WAH. And I'm sure Jeffrey is so innocent. I'm sure he never said one word prior to the fight that aggrevated Dennard and VICE VERSA. I also said in a previous post that I felt Dennard did more to deserve the ejection. however, it's obvious that the squirmish had been boiling up for some time. As far as my remarks, yes, I get a little heated and say some things that are innappropriate over issues like this. Why is a guy who was ejected for being in a fight getting a frickin mvp award for a game he played just a little over half of. I thought a plenty other SC players deserved it. Bottom line is Jeffrey was being dominated by a more physical player and it was frustrating him. Even the long play was not Dennard's fault it was the safety's. So be it. It's not the first great receiver Dennard has shut down in his career.

Any play you did not see coming that hurts your team is a fluke. As a Wisconsin fan I live and die by this rule.

 
I like stats and facts. Alshon and Dennard played a little over 1 half of the game. Alshon was targeted 5 times and made 4 catches for 148 yards and a TD. Dennard had 4 tackles, no pass break-ups, no interceptions, gave up 2 huge gainers of over 50 yards. C'mon, nobody isn't saying Dennard isn't good, but the numbers show that Alshon won the battle. Also, he won the Game MVP from the Cap One (to be fair though, personally I would have chosen Shaw.)

In one half, Alshon showed why most of the SEC, who has the best DB's in the country, still double team Alshon. He's a 6'4", 230 lb, 36 in vertical leaper with 4.5ish 40 yard speed MISMATCH, who also has great hands. If you don't double him, and stop Shaw from throwing in his direction, he will win a lot of jump balls.

I'm all for rep'ing your guys, but you also gotta know when they got beat, and Dennard got beat...Except in the fight.

I watched the replay a few times. Dennard landed 3 punches, to Alshon's face palm strike. So the Judges card would read 3-1 in favor of Dennard.

Oh pshh. Whatever. Watch the game, get a clue. Don't be one of those people going by stats alone. Alshon had two big catches. Both of those catches Dennard was not to blame for. Cassidy, the safety, was supposed to have inside zone on that 78 yard streak route that Dennard ran him down on. If Cassidy does his job he picks that pass, or at least makes the QB put some arc on the ball. Dennard was on the outside of the receiver like he was supposed to be. The hail mary was crap as well, Dennard wasn't even guarding him from the start of the play. Stanley Jean-Baptiste was guarding him from the line.

Dennard shut Jeffery down. He had what, 1 or 2 catches when Dennard was 1 on 1 with him? Whenever Dennard was forced to play a team strategy and share Jeffery with others was when Jeffery got yards. Not impressed. He couldn't beat Dennard on his own, but he could certainly beat everyone else in Nebraska's secondary.

My point was more that Jeffery was not held to just two catches he had four. He wasn't shutdown if anything he was pivotal in deciding this game as he was on the receiving end of that Hail Mary. Fluke or not it turned the game around for USC.

And how many catches did he have in the last 1 1/2 quarters?
