    I've never seen a player that can change a game from so many different spots on the field. Dude is unstoppable.

    Phenomenon.

    what did he affect, maybe 1/3 of the ducks plays on offense. great players are not only talented but have a passion for the game. which he clearly has.

    hes a joy to watch and his passion is infectious.

    looked like he was ready to go another 60 mins.

    Man, TM was everywhere on that field. He's doing that number 7 proud!

    Just a guess, that #7 will start getting handed down, just like the #18. But a player wil have to earn it.

    TM7 has WAY, WAY more energy than anyone else out on the field; everyone else tanks up on high test--but he's hitting the nitromethane tanks!

    It is like watching PP7 because it is almost casual how TM7 can control his domain. I think he's always making plays near the ball because he is intuitive and is processing literally faster than the other 21 players. This guy does not play 'zone' or 'man' coverage--he plays 'FIELD' coverage.

    Isolate only on TM7 for awhile--you won't be bored!

    We lose him after his Junior season if he continues to play like this and improve. So, just like with PP we need to enjoy the time we have supporting TRex as a Tiger.

    He's all over the field. Is it possible that he's a better defender than PP7?

    Miles likes him. Obviously but in addition, I saw Miles nudge him to follow him to sing the Alma after the game. Thought it was neat.

    Did you see Sam Montgomery getting into the singing? He seems like quite a character to be around. He appears to be bleed purple and gold.

    T-Rex is unbelievable at causing turnovers. He's got that rare gene that few defensive players have -- Ed Reed, Troy Polamalu, Deion Sanders, etc. --- that allows them to just wreak havoc and create momentum swinging plays every time they are on the field.

    One could argue he's one of our best offensive players too with all the great field position he gives the team. He'll be a household name nationwide by midseason.
