Stanford in the NFL, Week 5 - Langdude - 10-06-2019

Christian having a monster game. Nine rushes for 118 yards for two TDs, and three catches for 26 yards and another TD. And it's not even halfway through the third quarter.

Stanford in the NFL, week 5 - BostonCard - 10-06-2019

So, Christian McCaffrey is having himself a nice day.

With about 2 minutes left in the game, he has 19 carries for 176 yards and two touchdowns, 6 catches for 61 yards and a touchdown.  I don’t play fantasy football, but that’s gotta be worth some points.

Not just what, but how - this is some fantastic gymnastics for the TD:

I simultaneously love and cringe at seeing those crazy hurdles. Jumping that high in the air with freaks of nature barreling at you is a recipe for an eventual 1.5 somersault that paralyzes somebody. I wish they'd make it illegal.

This article has a lot of entertaining clips (including the one just above). So he keeps on doing what he was doing at the next level--playing at a different speed from everyone else. Cool.

The crazy thing about that play is that the stiff arm he gave Josh Allen was something else, but gets totally eclipsed by his summersault into the end zone.

Agree completely. Hurdling used to be a penalty. The NCAA and NFL need to put a stop to this. One of the most horrific moments I’ve seen on a football field was when Jahvid Best tried to hurdle a guy, got flipped and landed on his head. He was having spasms on the field while essentially out cold. It “only” ended up destroying his career.  One of these days a player is going to try this, get flipped as Best did and break his neck. Every time you see it fans ohhh and ahhhh. I cringe.

Then again, isn't it assumption of risk?  It's not inflicting harm on other players like targeting.  I mean, every time a bull rider nods his head he risks death.  Despite this risk, there are plenty of willing participants.

So McCaffrey was "hurt" in that flip...

Quote:Speaking of unbelievable, the topic of discussion eventually turned to McCaffrey’s back injury, which he suffered when he landed on that touchdown flip against the Jaguars.

“I landed on my back pretty hard, but I feel fine,” McCaffrey said. “I could have practiced yesterday, could have practiced the day after the game. Feeling really good, so yeah.”
