Merriman wins DROY

[louisianacajunsam]

huge, have you even seen merriman play..thats exactly what he is...lights out...he knocks the bejesus out of people....

he didnt give himself the nickname...his teammates did in highschool when he knocked three players from the opposing team out 'cold' in one game....name fits him

Oh, I forgot. He's the only person that's ever knocked a player out in a game. It was a HS game? There's some kids that are barely over a buck fifty playing HS ball. You think a pro prospect would have a hard time knocking them out?

The name could fit a ton of players in the NFL.

Personally, I would give the nickname to Terrible Terry Tate...but alas, he already has the nickname of Terrible. We simply can't have two nicknames for one person (I guess Babe Ruth is an exception).

i miss triple T

you proved my point correct huge...i believe you havent seen him play...i was giving you the origin from where the nickname was created....

but im pretty sure you havent seen him play...if you had, you would see how he knocks the crap out of people...i dont know how else to back that point up but if you watch him play, you know it...he just hits harder than anyone ive seen in a long, long time...stats cant really back that up though....its an attitude and a feeling

[footballchick23]

I think the nickname is hilarious, no matter where it came from...maybe we should ask Priest if Merriman deserves the nickname.

he just hits harder than anyone ive seen in a long, long time...

He's no Ken Hamlin.

Ask Donte Stallworth.

Or Anquan Boldin.

[louisianacajunsam]

well it appears the future of ken hamlins career may be lights out...

[Alkaholik]

Aww's right.....This is lights out:




...I think we are forgetting about the true lights out underdog:



They call him the foot assassin....Josh Brown, Seahawks Kicker

[louisianacajunsam]

did i really just see a picture of a kicker knocking a real football players helmet off????

all three had good rookie outings, in fact, most defensive rookies of the first round had good to very good years from what I recall.
