Re: Football Player Update: Tajh Boyd listed on ESPN's Heisman Watch List

Aug 15, 2013, 4:35 PM

You know I have thought often about why don't more defensive players win the Heisman? They play just as hard, make some good plays, etc. But you know, I watched Clowney sack Tahj four times last year, and the LSU Tigers treat him like a pinball at times in the bowl game, and he got back up and made another great play. A defensive player just doesn't have the ball in his hands so he can't really affect the outcome of a ball game like an offensive player can. A defensive lineman will never win it. He just doesn't affect enough plays.

So Clowney made four sacks against us last year - out of what - 60 plays the offense ran? They were talking about him on ESPN the other day and said that he disappeared for 85% of the plays he was on the field. Tahj cannot do that. The ball is in his hands.

If you look at the QB ratings of all of the QB's in the top 7, Tahj has the second highest next to AJ McCarron and Tahj threw the ball 110 times more than AJ did. I know I am biased and I think in the past there were some defensive players who were the best players in college football that didn't win it and I thought they should have. I think Mr Clown-ey is going to have a down year because he doesn't care. The old ball sack came out and said that the reason he said Clown-ey wasn't playing the first game wasn't because he was hurt but because he didn't even come out of the locker room on Monday. Guy is all heart and a team player - not.
