On the final drive it looked like Hightower dropped his helmet right into Dawkins, who constantly leads with his helmet on people.

Instead of diving underneath Dawks helmet, Timmy went right after him and Dawk ended up on the ground.

Anyone know how to get a picture of that?

Warner and Larry and Edge and the D are getting most of the pub....and deservedly so.....yet after watching the replay of the last quarter it was obvious that Hightower stepped it up in the last drive. Here's a kid that was even in some of the draft publications.

Yeah he literally knocked the crap out of Dawkins...and how important was that TD.

Remember 4 years ago, when JJ had a similar play against Shawn Taylor...only in that game JJ went down like a sack of potatoes, instead of driving into Taylor.

What a difference in 2 rookie running backs.

Mulli - that play was awesome!! It was almost like Hightower knew it was Dawkins and intentionally went at him!
If you find that picture - please share it! Dawkins plays the game on the edge, but most of the time he crosses the line and gets away with it. You're right - he ALWAYS leads with his head... However, yesterday it did no good and the Cards punked his ass the entire game!! I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!

"Props" to the scouting dept...

I hope like KRAZY they lock-up Steve Keim to a long-term contract. BUT I REALLY think this all goes back to UofP. NOT only did it change the image of the team but it provided the $$ for a BETTER scouting dept. and BETTER coaching staff. Ladies & gentleman we now have a Professional football team. :D

Hightower has been $$$$$ in the playoffs. He was thing of beauty to watch in the 4th Qtr at Carolina too. 12 straight carries in the fourth when they knew it was coming and he marched right down the field.

Im beginniing to thing that he may end up being RBOF. Will still need a sproles type as well.

They made Dawkins look like an old man. He couldn't tackle Fitz, Hightower blew him up, he was slow in coverage.... he's been overrated for a couple of years now. It's clear Wilson is far better at this point.

He did the same thing to Sheldon Brown in the first half. Hit him head on and Brown ended up on his back.

He is definitely being overlooked. On the two key plays in that drive, the ball was in his hands and he made the play in both. Not too bad for a rookie RB from Richmond.

I like Fitz first TD where he ran over Dawkins and spun into the endzone.
