Um, he sees a guy, and he tackles him. Just like that Bobby Boucher guy.........

We'll refer this to Mr. Chancellor for comment. Note that inertia causes the raindrops to remain in a helmet-shaped pattern as the force of the impact makes Mr. Davis wonder what universe he's in. Also notice no hands were used in this tackle, yet Mr. Davis was most certainly down.

They arent raindrops that's Davis' soul leaving his body.

Well, first he run towards the person that has the ball......

Why does everyone seems to be getting so defensive over this question lol? Intuitively people really don't get how others would be curious how someone tackles down a player in a motion that usually takes two arms and two hands...?

Can someone please just take emotions out of this and explain to me physically how he usually does it on the football field? I obviously know he CAN tackle players, or he never would have gotten to this point; which by the way is frickin amazing and congrats to this young man!! What I am curious about with his tackling is the HOW

How bout you just go watch 2 minutes of the film that’s available on the kid?

I generally don’t “bust balls” like this, and there is no emotions in my response.

It’s really a stupid question.

Fact is, I really responded with humor because I didn’t think you were being serious.

Really, go watch a little film, there’s tons available,and you’ll answer your own question.

Watch the video I posted...

Wow, he just gets it done, period. Seems like quite the leader too. I think he's going to fit in very well here.
With a motor like that, and the fact that he's never quitting on plays, that HAS to rub off on teammates.

Anybody that wants to have a discussion about “Handicap”?

I suggest you don’t have it with Shaquem Griffin.

Just my humble opinion.

Edit:

I have no idea if this kid will live up to my hopes/expectations but if he comes close, he easily could land on my top 5 Favorite list.

Ya, that’s not a good idea, lol...

He plays as well as the guys around him, truly all that matters.

For those not understanding how he can do some things with only 1 hand... here’s Shaquem wrestling away a fumble from a 2-handed RB in the conference championship game.



He just wants it more than you...

After watching some highlights today I noticed he contributed to quite a few forced fumbles. I'm excited to see him in action as a Hawk.

Watched another game of Shaquem before this game. However, the Auburn game really solidified my fandom for him. I watched him because his twin brother plays for us and I am a fan of Shaquille but this Auburn game just really solidified things for me.

So if I was a scout and Shaquem and he didn't have a twin bother on our team I think if I saw all his play I would still be seriously impressed. He reminds me of Chad Brown (love that dude), (the intensity) not the size.

Ordered his jersey today.

You rarely grab when you tackle unless it's because you got beat and your trying to hang on, if your in front your squaring up or from the side running thru the tackle, most DB's are the ones who jersey grab anyway, when you wrap a tackle you not grasping you are wrapping your arms around them and using forearms and biceps and your body and or shoulder, last I checked he has all those. Mostly you are driving with your legs once you make contact with your shoulder, the key is angle which he seems to have a very good understanding of. It may take a adjustment period for him to adapt to NFL speed but understanding pursuit angles already he should be able to make that adjustment.

Has his roster number been confirmed as 49?

I want to buy his jersey and NFL europe store has it at 49 but I cant see anything 'official'?

http://europe.nflshop.com/stores/nfl/en ... e-seahawks

Am i missing anything? Last thing I want is to order and then in a few weeks it changes?

NFL Europe will have you covered.

It's #49. The Pro Shop have it at that, Fanatics have it at that and Clint Gresham tweeted that Shaquem is wearing #49 (his old number).

Hoping mine comes tomorrow.

FYI... If you guys haven’t read this yet, it’s an awesome read. It’s a letter Shaquem wrote to all the NFL GMs before the draft...

I was talking to my wife about it yesterday, bearing in mind she has zero interest in football, however is a psychologist, she was saying the energy he will bring to his teammates will be off the charts.

The whole atmosphere will change when he steps on the field. Seriously.

Not only that... but he’s a guy where players are thinking they’re going hard in practice... and then look over at him and be like what the hell?!?”

First day...

Told you... lol. He’s never been able to afford to not give everything he’s got on every snap he takes in practice, let alone games. It’s how he operates...




Pete Carroll trying to hold Quem back like...

One more piece to the puzzle. PC does a great job of getting players who have a chip on their shoulder to perform. He may have found the ultimate player with a chip on his shoulder. I look forward to seeing him in action especially when he gets to put the hurt on Dak and the Cowboys.

If you have him spy Dak... he has no chance.

Well nice to see there is a intensity level that he is going to set when things get real. With Griff 2.0 you better not go half speed or take a play off or he is going to level you.

Sorry if this has already been talked about, but is there any sense of the plan for him?

As a fifth round pick it’s not like he needs to be a starter or anything, so he’ll play special teams and backup at Will and maybe Mike too? He doesn’t seem like he’d fit at Sam in the Hawks’ scheme, but maybe they shove him there?

TY

Humor? yeah, I think I went to school with that guy......what a grouch.

He is a Will.

I thought he could be a Kam replacement, but the more I look at film on him - the more I realize we want him as a Will.

He is also tremendously valuable as a spy. He covers the QB run well and plays the read option about as well as I have seen. Very valuable in a league where the mobile QB is still a difficult option to defend.

Plus he can rush the passer, that is useful regardless.

His effectiveness rate as a pass rusher was better than Davenport. Sure, he played against lesser competition, but so did Davenport.

After I saw him dominate vs. Auburn, I was plenty convinced.

He had the highest pass rush efficiency of any player in the draft...

https://www.lockedondolphins.com/dolphi ... m-griffin/

Player - Pass Rush Efficiency
Shaquem Griffin (UCF) - 21.6%
Brian Womac (RICE) - 21.3%
Marcus Davenport (UTSA) - 20.3%
Jeff Holland (Auburn) - 19.5%
Easy Anyama (Texas State) - 18.1%
Lorenzo Carter (Georgia) - 17.7%
Justin Lawler (Southern Methodist) - 16.8%
Ja’Von Rolland-Jones (Arkansas State) - 16.7%
Arden Key (LSU) - 16.5%
Sam Hubbard (Ohio State) - 16.3%

Backup WILL, Occ QB Spy, Special teams destroyer. I'm good with that from a 5th rounder. If he becomes a star, even better.

Thanks all.

And yeah, backup Will was what I was assuming, and 100% agreed that doing that and ST is perfectly viable for a 5th round pick.

Keem will probably be better served if some of the "celebrity spotlight" based on his physical state fades away.

Let him make his name on the field, just like any player. Frankly, that's probably what he wants. He definitely has killer speed, so any position where he can take advantage of that is where he should be.

There is a clip from the XLVIII Sound FX (I can't find it right now) where Manning and Welker are talking about this, and how Chancellor never drops, but for some reason he did early in the game, and picked off Manning who never expected him to be there

It's also right after the play where Welker has the ball blown out of his grasp by a trailing Kam. Kam then stands over him and saying... I'm not sure, but wish I knew!

It was not a position they expected Kam to be in. That also says something about our Defensive looks in that game. We threw some curve-balls.

Pretty sure it was on record from someone on the Hawks D that they knew most of the plays that Denver were calling.

Dude this guy gives me chills I think truthfully he could be a baller for us
