News: David Irving Named NFC Defensive Player of the Week

[Sportsbabe]

Cowboys fans: Hell yeah!
Knowledgable Cowboys fans: All he needed was snaps.
A vast majority of NFL fans: Who?
The media: Dak or Romo?
The Dallas media: Didn't he get kicked out of college?
Ricky Jean Francois: We run the damn NFC Defensive POTW!

For me its his speed off the ball, and his WINGSPAN. Man has eagle wings. He can grab you from pretty much anywhere on the line if hes in the vicinity. Crazy part is, hes still quite raw. Marinelli is turning him into a force.

Is his speed off the ball quick twitch, or is it the bend around the corner (ala Von Miller) type of speed? Thanks for the feedback Phil, I (for god knows what reason) haven't watched him close enough.

His wingspan is crazy. At 6ft 7in he is a physical freak. Hopefully he keeps getting better, and we'll start seeing a lot of batted balls to go with his forced fumbles.

Btw, if 3 forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, and a sack don't get you player of the week, I don't know what does. And he did all of that while only being on the field for 19 snaps.

Quick twitch, long and lanky, but also strong. Little tall for a DT but seems to do well wherever you put him. Would be a 5 tech (Hatcher) in a 3-4.

Might as well include the bulk of the Cowboys fan base in that number, too. lol

Just tell them its Michael Irving's nephew.

On his penalty, it looked as if the Packer moved under him to create the penalty.

Flash back to Phil Pozderac.

Scrub.

Wow, go for him! I didn't see this coming.

[Redball Express]

Hopefully this wakes them up to the fact he needs to play more.

Yes..

he did all that on only 19 snaps.

Whatever he is doing I hope it continues.

congrats to the young man

 

[Falco78]

He's been a pet cat of mine since last year hoping he gets more snaps now!

pretty cool to see him get recognized

Nice, I called this in the Post Game Thread (or maybe 2nd Half thread, can't remember). Congratulations David!!

 

[Oh_Canada]

19 snaps. 19.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Not bad considering he didn't play until the second half.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I didn't know he had that great of a game. And only 19 snaps? Wow. Impressive.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Hopefully this wakes them up to the fact he needs to play more.

Maybe he's a guy that does better in limited action? Who knows. Maybe he needs to receive more to dictate what he is.

 

[USMarineVet]

didn't even know he was in the running

Congrats Mr. Irving!!

Always had faith in that Rudy Irving kid.

IIRC, you can include a knocked down pass in there as well. Amazing the impact he had on his 19 snaps. I believe also he has Leon Lett coaching him, same size and style of play. Looks like its working.
