D-3 Players in the Pros

That was a fantastic play and if you want to see more hustle, look at the next Ed Reed pick that was called back for pass interference.  You see Garcon blowing through and around Colts to make the hit that stops Reed and then another Colt mops up and pushes Reed out of bounds.   

Yep...forcing the fumble was the play of the game. And you're right, we was in on that pick that was called back as well...had a great night.

I saw that second hustle play last night, but can't find it on video anywhere.  Has anyone seen it on the net?

Hoping the Colts and Pierre can have a great game against the Jets!

Ditto. Jets won't be a walk over by any means. Colts D will have to slow Jets run game...their O line is amazing. Would be nice if the Colts could manufacture a little ground game of their own, too. Can't wait.

Nationally syndicated story on Pierre Garçon; saw it in my daily this AM.  Covers his story from both the 'player out of nowhere' and the Haiti angles:

A different kind of "D3 players in the pros":  former Trinity (TX) safety Adam Zimmer ('02-'05) will be on the New Orleans sidelines - as an assistant defensive coach.   He's been with the Saints' coaching staff since 2006.

If the name seems familiar, dad Mike Zimmer is DC for the Bengals.

About damned time.  Congrats to Fletcher.

Congrats too to Garçon, whose 11 catches yesterday set an AFC championship record!

RT @D3Football.com Executive editor Pat Coleman (and Mount Union coach Larry Kehres) will be on ESPN's Outside the Lines this afternoon at 3 ET/2 CT to discuss who else, Colts receiver Pierre Garcon. Pretty stoked!

Wheaton's Pete Ittersagen signs with the Toronto Argonauts for 2010 season.  I was surprised this didn't happen sooner after being cut from the Jags.  It seemed his best chance was to show what he could do at a professional level in the CFL before trying his hand at the NFL again.

Best of luck to Pete!  Congrats!

London Fletcher deserves alot more credit then he gets, hes a tackling machine.

[reality check]

And no disrespect to Bryan Waters but I was really hoping that London would be named Walter Payton Man of the Year before kickoff of the SB.
