Re: A J Howard
Wow, that's crazy. I'd have to 100% agree with everyone saying it's a terrible call. Nothing dirty, the TE saw him coming and braced himself while also lowering his upper body. Howard intended to tackle his waist and legs. I see nothing wrong with that play. The good news is that the team is not likely to hold that play against him in any way.

Re: A J Howard
Steve Wilks is their coach. As an App State guy, I doubt Howard is going anywhere. By all indications, he is the second option at either safety position at this point.MountaineerMafia wrote: ↑Tue Aug 14, 2018 10:32 amWow, that's crazy.

Good way for the defensive player to get a spinal injury.

Re: A J Howard
I saw the replay and have to say, that was a bad call regardless of the way the rule is defined. Howard appeared to be attempting to make a legal tackle with his shoulders at waist/thigh level. TE turned after reception and altered his position to defend tackle. If this becomes illegal then they might as well play flag football.

Re: A J Howard
Jim Rome had him on his radio show either yesterday or today. A.J. gave a great interview and sounded like a veteran. Made quite the impression on Rome. Would post the link but having difficulty with my phone. Worth trying to find though.

Re: A J Howard
This is the type of interview that boosts my pride in being a part of App Nation! AJ will do well. You could tell that Rome was impressed with this young man.

Re: A J Howard
Rome is a colossal douche, but he is probably the best interviewer in the business.

Re: A J Howard
AJ did a great job in that interview! I'm proud to be part of his App state family.

Re: A J Howard
The point I was making is that he is doing well enough to earn a roster spot. The fact that Wilks is an App State guy, combined with AJ's talent, likely earns him some extra eyes.
