We talk about this play on our pod, but it really deserves its own thread. He's quick and knows how to position his body to cut down the field.
Time 1: Budda's about 10 yards from the ball carrier. #CokersTevis got caved and gave up his spot as the first line of defense. Budda is the rear guard here. As soon as Budda sees it, he jumps on the case and already is taking an angle that's going to make it awkward for the tailback.
Time 2: Budda's got a body position that is taking away a 'big play' in the biggest gap, so the fuckhead tailback is 'forced' to break it outside. #CokersTevis is finally pulling his shit together; Darren Gardenhire is maintaining outside leverage.
Time 3: While Tevis struggles to remain upright, Budda strikes like a fucking COBRA cutting down all the space the fuckwad Vandal had and essentially eliminating the tailback's chance to get his shoulders square and dictate the angles.
Time 4: Tevis is practicing knee bends and #NoOnesGardy is doing a nice job maintaining outside leverage, Budda is busy making a perfect tackle, striking in the middle and wrapping the legs so the POS will be on the ground in a matter of milliseconds.
This is why Budda is so fucking good. In space, he basically uses his body like tailback to make the angles and the motion such that it's all to his advantage--he's dictating the course of play. Then he closes like a fucking leopard and tackles like an angel.
I know it's a scrimmage, but Budda's done this shit against great teams too. The dude is a fucking football genius.
