His coaches call him a freak of an athlete so he'll do well once he settles on one position.briarduck wrote:Ya he's been playing well....I think he's a defensive standout waiting to happen!

Re: French just ran down a speedy RB
Yeah I totally forgot he was in this game until they said he got that tackle. As soon as the back got past the players I thought he was gone, then this big dude came up and denied it.
GO DUCKS!

Re: French just ran down a speedy RB
Is anyone else a little annoyed at all of these school "shoutouts" when the 'big name' schools have 3 or 4 commits?
We have French, Colt, and Johnstone there and are playing in a somewhat meaningful game on Monday... Where's the Duck love?!?

French is 226 but looks very skinny, and looks like he could be 250 in a year or two. With his speed he could be a dominate DE for us.

4.4 speed to me seems like such a waste to put on the line.

I'm not going to bother putting a "no offense" disclaimer - that's simply one of the most moronic things I've heard on this board in a few weeks.

Putting someone fast on a D line is a waste? Uhhh what? Would you rather they be sloppy and slow? Lol

Re: French just ran down a speedy RB
Think about how many snaps a defensive starter takes compared to an offensive starter...... I wouldn't be surprised if it was 2:1
I would love to see Colt & French on defense for this reason. I also think they would see the field much sooner..... we are loaded at TE & receiver.

Re: French just ran down a speedy RB
I think the "moronic" thing to do is to take a discussion with a fellow duck fan and turn into an ass by telling them thier opinion is moronic. I've read enough of your posts to know you would make a fine pop warner coach, no offense.JTinKC wrote:
