" He's just different" Dabo describing Keith Adams Jr

Aug 20, 2024, 12:04 AM

Can anyone give me some insight on what Dabo means by this? Is he saying Adams Jr runs more like a fullback? I was a big fan of his Dad and also now a big fan of Termite Jr. Just wanted some insight on what my fellow tiger breathren think Dabo is really saying... Thanks and Go Tigers!!

Wish I knew 🤷‍♂️

Dabo hypes a lot of players up like this.

This might be his way of saying" I don't have anyone to compare him to.

Which I'm not sure is a good or bad...

He's stated before that if you tackle Keith Adams Jr. head-on then it's basically a career decision. Which from my interpretation means that he's hard to tackle whenever he's running full speed in open space. I hope Coach Swinney allows him to do kickoff returns.

I get the feeling most of the other backups are younger, shifter guys but Adam's is a hammer. More like Mafah than anyone else on the roster.

The real curveball (pun intended) is when he says "But Haynes and EZ, you kind of put them in the Mafah category.

Based off what I have seen, the "different pitch" is a big bruiser that isn't very fast (fullback). I always thought it would make sense for him to play LB with all the other backs in that room.

He will be great to wear teams down with. If our passing attack isn’t working against a defensive scheme, we should be able to run Mafah, Termite Jr, Mafah, Termite Jr, Haynes to the outside, and so forth. It could wear out a front 7 if the OL improves under Coach Luke which I very much expect.
