yep- cant say- never saw brady- so i cant judge.

[chris7sarge]

fair enough
Brady was good enough to win E8 MVP as a junior and as a LB.

Fair enough- we have 2 talented guys to talk about then!

As much as I'm exited about watching the last hour of the Springfield-Fisher game on D3Cast, I think the nature of the game will be decided in the first 10 minutes of play.

The Alfred-Springfield game became a rout because a bad penalty on the Pride inside the red zone when the score was 7-0 Saxons.  Unable to convert on 3rd and long and 4th and long, Alfred went up by 2 TDs on the next possession.  If Springfield punched that one in, I think we're talking about a 38-35 type score that day.

For the sake of the Saxons I hope that Springfield can go toe-to-toe with Fisher tomorrow.  Plus, it would be fun to get home and still see a "game" on the cyber-waves.

Hey Sarge....eight more posts and you can start playing the karma game!!! You're catching up with Kaz00.

GO SAXONS!

He's a corner back...but he's more  like a field general...he was huge in the playoff game last year

If he's really 200 lbs, he's huge in every game.



Hopefully the Bombers can pull one out this weekend in Utica...

I think i should b given karma for the mere insight i have provided the past few years.

[fisheralum91]

sarge- since you have only posted 193 times- it had better be a high quality/post ratio

[chris7sarge]

the quality of my posts are immeasurable

[fisheralum91]

so evidently is your ego

Sorry sarge--watch him and then judge.
He is not an all american fo nothing----Im going to fight you tooth and nail about this one---so ya may just want to pick a new topic.

He's an all american?  In your view, is he as good as Brady?

Sarge,

I can attest to the talent of both Brady and Stepnick first hand.  I played for Fisher from 2001-2004, although 2001 and 2002 I was so badly injured I never played.  In 2004, my senior season (and maybe yours? cant remember) we beat AU at your place for the E8 title and the AQ.  I remember the game vividly, and Brady was by far the best player on the football field.  He had a interception return for a TD, another rushing TD from tailback, and like 20 tackles.  He was the best linebacker I ever saw in the E8 in my time.  I also coached for Fisher in 2005, and he single handedly beat us in the finale at Growney and ruined our season.  I'm sure he had some professional interest right?

I also played with Stepnick for one season, as he was a freshman when I was a senior.  Then, I was the defensive back coach in 2005 and coached him personally.  So, I can also attest to his greatness.  I believe he is the best cornerback to ever play in the E8 (only been around like 6 years, but still).  He has something like 18 career interceptions, and teams have been avoiding him for 2 years now.  He would have more INT's if teams didn't fear him so much.  He is also the best tackling DB I have ever seen at the D3 level.  Great open field tackler and very physical.  At 6'1 200 LBS, with a 4.5 forty, he is also receiving some professional interest.  

It is hard to compare Brady and Stepnick, since they play such different positions.  But I wouldn't say with a "resounding NO" that Stepnick is on the level of Brady.  I think its awfully close.  Both players might be the best at their positions the E8 has seen.  So, you have to give both their due respect.

u have no idea

[FisherAlum05]

u have no idea

who has no idea about what?

[fisheralum91]

sorrry 05-- i think that was aimed at me

[FisherAlum05]

Oh.  I hope you and Sarge read my post on Brady and Stepnick.  Brady was the best LB I ever saw at the D3 level and Stepnick is the best DB I have seen as well.  So, both players have my respect.
