Slye closed the gap at warp speed.

Haven't seen a tackle that strong since Bobby Boucher. #Hokies

I love a good nap. Sometimes that's all that's getting me out of bed in the morning.

I know, right?
Devon Hunter widens the angle and Joey Slye lowers the boom.
I just hope that Slye called 'MINE!' before and Hunter contained.

Mamma Says you gotta tackle when you don't get the touchback

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"

Why were people calling this a targeting in other threads?

Watch Joey's helmet. It flares red with a "Missile Lock" just before he turns up field for the hit.

A decade on TKP and it's been time well spent.

Because those refs were clowns. Lasser said they warned Fuente it could have been called targeting.

Joey targeted that dude's ribs with his shoulder, then targeted his ass on the ground.

Given the flag thrown for Stro targeting the receiver, I could see these knuckleheads throwing one for a textbook tackle.

I will forever remember him as being the first kicker I've ever seen get flagged for unnecessary roughness.

I need to just make a bunch of these. They're always my favorite. I did one on Brad Kaaya last year too when he got sacked a billion times.

My guy Slye! I absolutely loved when I saw this during the game.

Recruit - I made 4 of 4 FG's over 60 yards my senior year & was perfect on FG's all junior year. All my kickoffs go out of the endzone.
Shibest - Can you tackle? And not the leg wrap, arm flailing thing. Do you see what you hit, and bring your arms?
Recruit - No coach, i'm a kicker.
Shibest - Well... thanks. but no thanks. We only recruit kickers that can decleat a returner. Good day!

In my country a Joey is a baby 'roo. How do I know you can put him on his ass if all you do is kick it out of the endzone?

Glad Fuente was able to recruit Bradburn to the Burg. Who doesn't want a punter that sucker punched a kangaroo?! B A D A S S.
