Farewell Ameer Abdullah---thanks for the memories


Recommended Posts


The one thing I always loved about Ameer is how he taps the defender on the hat when they get up, always congratulating them on the tackle. It seemed like the harder he got hit the quicker he got up and the tougher he played. Musta been the baby brother boxer mentality.

Was actually talking about this last night as my favorite part of Ameer's game. I think he tapped the safety twice on the helmet after he was tackled and finally the saftey 'got it' and started tapping Ameer back on the helmet. Just a good kid and a great player, he will be missed.

This is what I remember about the dominant teams of the 80s - 90s. The backs would pat the tackler on the helmet or shoulder after the hit. The O-linemen would pancake a defensive lineman, then help him up and head back to the huddle. The Blackshirts would demolish a back/blocker/receiver, then help them up and head back to lineup. Occasional bursts of emotion, but basically, line up, give 100% effort, execute, rinse and repeat.

That makes me remember what Brian Bosworth (I know sacrilege to even mention him here) about Doug DuBose. He said it used to drive him crazy, he would tackle him and DuBose would pat him on the head and say "nice tackle Brian".
