Twitter: McGovern and Ridgeway get into it

[McKDaddy]

Ridgeway is a huge man that was a heavyweight state champion wrestler. My money is on him rag-dolling McGovern.

Perhaps .... but on this particular rep he got put on skates

Those two guys shoving each other isn't post worthy. That's what they get paid to do. So Michael Gehlken was just bobbing for clicks.

Imagine a guy called Ken taking up for a guy named Gehlken. Gehlken sucks.

It's the slap/punch, its Sam Williams getting into it, it's the most animated i ever have seen Mike McCarthy


Ya, not postworthy lol

Go Cowboys!

Sloppy, whatever it was.

......My HS practices 35 years ago had more fight....

Great showing by Josh Ball in that sequence. 2nd play he non-blocks or whiffs the lb, 3rd play he fires off, looked around, falls down.

 

[ColoradoCowboy]

Seriously? Calling that a PBU is ridiculous. The ball was thrown DIRECTLY to him and he dropped it.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Oddly enough Bossman Fat YKDV kept out of it.

1: It is Josh Ball that drives Ridgeway across the field. McGovern a non-factor until late in the play.

2: The play is intended to be an outside run and Josh Ball reach blocks the defender.
- The udfa RB cuts inside which kills the blocking angles.

3: Josh Ball's primary duty was to help block on the DT, which he did.
- He tried to jump back outside and fell to one knee.
- The outside defender that he would have blocked did nothing.
- The play was going to the other side anyway.
- The outside defender would have had to cut back inside and hurdle Josh Ball without losing any speed in order to get to the far side ball carrier.

That’s probably the most physical practice session I have seen during training camp in recent years. Not the country club, camp cupcake training from the past.

Coach McCarthy looks to be intensifying these practices greatly. I think is he’s getting too much flack and will earn back the respect he deserves this season.

# 75 Josh Ball, just looking big and mobile.

Some of these posters should have been in the media. Your assessment was correct, not full of frenzied drivel used to excite the masses.

I was at camp back in 92 & 93.

One of those years I saw Charles Haley irritate Erik Williams. I thought certain Haley was going to die on the spot. EW picked Haley up over his head Pro Wrestling style and slammed him to the ground.. That was the last time I ever saw Haley line up on against EW.

Jimmy would tell some guys to intentionally start a fight if team practice energy was lagging. Kevin Gogan was one of Jimmy's go to guys for that.

We still see a lot of folks talk about Erik Williams' nastiness, which was a well deserved reputation.

But not many talk about Gogan, he had a nice mean streak as well. Never a superstar, but in my humble opinion, the kind of player you need on your team to win. I bet a huge grin broke out on his face when Jimmy would ask him to start a fight.

We didn't bubble-wrap our players either. And, I'm pretty sure I practiced 2 a days in the desert.

Man....to have a vid of that present day style...be a classic

 

[glimmerman]

I want to see a big one. Remember the camp. Dez swung on the CB. Or the one on ones they lock up and roll on the ground. Let’s get after it. I figure fights will come when we start practicing with other teams.

meh, at least he has some spunk. looked sloppy as hell.

LOL no it isn't, Ball is barely moving, that's mostly McGovern.

He didn't block the DT, he barely touched him.

It appears that Starforever sees what I see.
