He is not much of a factor at this point. Still needs to work into full shape. Hoping he can get it going.

Forget about the sack the previous play or the sack last week? XT will be a major player for us down the road when he's in better shape.

Selfish boneheaded play, he needs to figure out some things.

He hasn’t been right since freshman year.

true but his play has been limited anyway. I'm not sure he played much the first half

XT's not half the player that Bresee and Myles Murphy are. But who does XT want to be? If he wants to be a successful pro one day, he needs to strap it up this off-season and work his a$$ off next year on and off the field. Best of luck to him!

I feel like there was not malicious intent on that play. I think he jumped to try to block the pass and his momentum made him land like that on the QB. Could be wrong but just my two cents

The way it looked to me was the head strike was intentional. It was almost as if X looked frustrated from being held, and on that play he had a chance to get a hit on the QB. Poor choice.

Technically, what XT did didn't fit the definition of targeting because there wasn't an upward thrust. He simply gave him a little head butt on his way back down. Looked intentional and unsportsman-like, and I would have wanted it called as targeting if it was on our QB, but it doesn't fit the words in the definition. Now the other late hit call on us in the second quarter was bogus.

XT pointing his helmet down was just incredibly dumb. Can't imagine what was on his mind.
The good thing is we are loaded at DE and won't miss him against ND.
XT peaked as a freshman. Seems like he's gotten heavier and it isn't working. There is no explosion off the ball.
IMO, he should lose ~15 lbs and work on his first step and hand technique. Just like last year, he gets locked by one blocker very easily. If you watch Bresee and Murphy for example, they are often able to juke blockers on pass plays when not double-teamed.
