UConn in the NFL

[BugsyCT]

Bucs are getting destroyed by Atlanta, but Danny Lansanah just got a pick-6. Good for him.

Tyvon. Sio not dressed. Or wasn't in warmups.

Poor Blidi. Andy Dalton just caught a TD pass on him. Yeah, you read that right.

QB shouldn't be able to catch a ball on Blidi island.

 

[UCHuskies08]

It was a pass from Sanu and Blidi actually stayed disciplined and read the play. The problem was he got stuck halfway in between trying to make the pick and blowing up Dalton as he made the catch and Dalton was able to catch the ball and slip by him and dive into the endzone.

Saw this play on RedZone. Blidi should have taken the opportunity to actually lay out a QB and not get penalized. Instead he seemed to be stuck between trying to get the pick or make the tackle. Instead, he whiffed entirely on the pick and Dalton waltzed into the end zone. Didn't realize it was Blidi until seeing the replays that night.

Just saw this. That's unfortunate. Get well soon boys!

Danny Lansanah pick 6!

Danny Lansanah pick 6!

On Drew Brees no less

What a story he's been. That he has been able to stay in football shape without really playing football for so many years. How the NFL doesn't have some sort of minor league is maddening to me. They could have players like him waiting to replace injured players who have been playing in real games.

They do have a minor league. It's free, to the NFL. You and I watch it on Saturdays, during the fall.

Well, except for the, you know, 4 years of eligibility

You also can't sign a college player during one of his college season. And numerous other reasons the NFL needs a legit minor league.

Danny Lansanah pick 6!

Two in the last 3 games for him. Tremendous story.

(longtime Bucs fan so this is basically the bright spot of my football season thus far)

 

[huskysupporter]

What an inspiration Lansanah is. The guy was in the UFL. He never gave up his dream, worked his tail off and now is starting in the NFL. If I was a high school coach, I would be using him as an example that hard work pays off, no matter how long it takes.

My favorite Husky (Football side) of all-time. Smart of him to stick around to take that interview. The link is lifted from the Bucs website.

Solid defensive performance but let down by an ineffective offense, must feel like Ground Hog Day to Danny.
