Dude, I was a HB and S (with some CB) and I LOVED when a WR would come across the middle and then his QB would leave him hanging. I remember we had a game against our rivals my senior year. IN my senior year I didn't start at S because I had abreakout year as a junior at HB and coach wanted me to be as fresh as possible for all the games, and the punishment my body took playing HB and S every game increased my risk of injury. Well, for that rivalry game their "star" WR (he was good, but not as good as he made himself out to be) had been popping off for like 3 weeks before the game (it was our homecoming game too). Kids from their school, including him, were posting all over our message boards and there was an interview with him in the sports section of the paper after a big game he had and he basically bashed us like 8 different time in it. Anyway, during the game we were up 21-14 in the fourth and there were only 50 something seconds left. They were driving pretty good down the field and then our starting SS got hurt. Coach let me go in and 2 or 3 plays later I was playing zone coverage and he beat his DB BAD and the QB threw a SUPER sloppy pass that floated for like 12 years. Gave me PLENTY of time to set up for the hit of my career. I ran from about 7 yards back at full speed and he not only was up in the air when I hit him but his arms were fully outstreatched over his head and his body was rotating towards me, basically as a DB you can't ask for a better setup. When I hit him I was trying to tackle his front jersey numbers through and blow them out the back of his jersey, lol, that's what I was picturing. I absolutely OBLITERATED him, and the sound it made, my god, sweetest sound ever, it sounds VICIOUS on tape. It actually hurt me a lot too, especially since I had a sore shoulder from a 2nd quarter hit, but man, it was so worth it. He ended with a broken rib and something pinched in his neck so he lost feeling in his body for a few minutes (which was not cool and kinda scary for everyone). I have to give him creadit though, he ALMSOT held onto the ball. On the tape when I hit him the ball bobbled out but fell at the perfect angle so as we were falling with his back to the ground he actually grabbed it behind my back, but when we ht the ground it was all overe, ball popped out and both of us got the wind knocked out and I was a little slow getting up, but he was down for a solid 10 minutes. It was the best hit I have EVER given (except for the scare when we thought he was paralyzed, you never wish that one anyone).
