TNET: Unleash the Beast: Xavier Thomas earns praise of coaches and teammates

Unleash the Beast: Xavier Thomas earns praise of coaches and teammates

Xavier Thomas lined up on the left side of the Clemson line, and one could imagine Thomas pawing at the dirt, a bull about to be unleashed. Thomas didn’t even get into a 3-point stance. He remained upright and as soon as the ball was snapped became a blur. Full Story »

Just when you thought it was safe for opposing offenses to go back on the field the X man shows up. GO TIGERS

It says in the article that Dungey got rid of the ball

before XT got there. I didn't see another unblocked hit by XT other than the last series. I am fairly certain it was a sack and Dungey didnt get rid of the ball.

Yep

That was a sack and a monster play to help end the game.

You are right. I was wondering if anyone else would question that statement. That play, Xavier got the sack. The following play (the last play of the game) Xavier had him again but Dungey was able to toss it to the running back as he was going down.

I was going to say the same thing.

I just logged on to comment the same thing. Dungy couldn't "get the ball away" because it was embedded in his sternum. Monster play!

I briefly pondered saying the same thing, but after several

Minutes of internalized debate, thought better of it. In hindsight, I wonder if I should have.

We have to give DHood a break

New baby in the house - he can't be expected to get everything right!

The only way that ball was coming out was.....


Oct 3, 2018, 9:12 AM

by fumble. I was surprised it wasn't a fumble, but then again, I think XT crushed the ball into Dungey's rib cage. Besides the win, ETN's running & that play was just beautiful!

Textbook!

He is FREAKY fast!

He is going to be Fun to watch, while we have him at Clemson!

There are going to be some records broken while he is here and at the next level

How much fun will it be when he blows tua up!!! About as much fun when he blows 5 head? I’d have to say more fun because then we’re in the cfp and 5 heads on his couch rooting for bama.

Dungey didn’t have time to think much less get rid of the ball.

Man, my video doesn’t play whenever I try the link. Does it work for anyone? Is it something I’m doing wrong?

I'm increasingly sure that was the most beautiful sack I've ever witnessed. It was just poetry in motion.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

He went facemast to neck

Throw the flag. Obvious targeting.



They called it on us the week before. Might as well here.

Not many QBs get up from a crushing hit like the XMan unloaded.

There was a play after the sack (might have been the last play of the game) where XT got close & hit Dungey before the QB skipped a pass to his RB.
