Will we still have him in Feb? If so, will he develop to potential?

No one tell him that tattoos are removable.

Jesus H. Christ, he blocked a kick and tackled the opposing player who picked it up and tried to run with it...All in the same fucking play.

That was my favorite part.
Then the next play, he tackled a dude and the dude went sliding on the ground for ten yards...

What's that funny thing he keeps doing where he knocks the opposing ball carrier down? And sometimes he seems to do it on the opponents side of the line of scrimmage, isn't that offsides?
-
He just needs a cool fro hanging out the back of his helmet.

OK, that part was pretty damn good but I saw a lot of plays where he has obviously been watching our defense tackle.

Most forms of football have a move known as a tackle. The primary purposes of tackling is to disposses an opponent of the ball, to stop the player from gaining ground towards goal or to stop them from carrying out what they intend.
Our defense has not done this in four years.
They teach it right even in youth:

Where Does Defense Start?
The first thing to remember if you want to prevent the other team from scoring, is tackling. Tackling is, bar none, the most important skill in football, and the one that can be taught the most easily if the coaches push hard enough.
Insist upon proper tackling. Don't ask, demand.
I use a four point tackling technique. Deviation from, or improper demonstration of any of the four points will get the offending player sent to remedial tackling, where they work with a coach until they have tackled a dummy correctly five times. This coach should be well trained in your tackling procedure and standards, and should consider this his primary job for the season. Poor tackling in scrimmages and drills can also cause the player to lose their position on the depth chart.
Always block and tackle with your head UP!
My four points are as follows:
1) HIT!
The tackler is to drive his shoulder into the ball carrier's thigh pad, and nowhere else! His head should be across the runner's body and up. His hips should be under him. There should be no bend or arch to the tackler's back.
2) WRAP!
The tackler should fling his arms around the ball carrier's legs and pull the runner towards him with a sharp motion. His fingers should be grabbing cloth wherever possible.
3) LIFT!
The tackler should lift the ball carrier slightly (roughly an inch or so). This serves three purposes: it keeps the tackler on his feet, preventing dives and misses; it breaks the runner's balance and contact with the ground, and it makes the next point easier.
4) DRIVE!
With short choppy steps the tackler should power the ball carrier across, rather than back along, his initial motion.

Can someone please print these out on 8 1/2x11 and post over at Auburns practice field? GH, you're the closest.

I wasn't going to say it, but yeah, he dives at their feet a lot too. He's just that much bigger, stronger, and faster. Hell, it looks like they don't even try to block him half the time. I know he's simply just faster than the OL trying to get to him. At least he plays downhill, has a nose for the ball, and gives effort.

What fucking video did yall watch?
I saw one play where he made a tackle down low at 1:42, but that is it. That is the only tackle that he made low. Please show me where in this video it looks like he is not a good tackler? On the punt block, he was expecting a hit and fell down because the olayed(sp) his ass. Then he got back up and almost took the poor dudes head off...
I swear to god some of you mother fuckers are picky as shit.
I am not saying he is going to be the end all be all...but to critique his tackling on this video is stupid...

The kid is a monster, no doubt. I was trying to say they appear afraid to try and block him. Damn sure take him today, over what we got!
