Watch Out for Zack Follett
A quick note to returners who play the Lions in the future: keep your head on a swivel and make sure you keep an eye on where Zack Follett is at all times. If you don't, this could happen:
Follett's hit was one of this week's Sprint Can't-Miss Plays, and it has led to the discovery of this hilarious picture from 97.1 The Ticket:
There's actually an entire page dedicated to Follett on Karsch and Anderson's section of the website, and it is definitely worth checking out. As we quickly found out after he was drafted by the Lions, Follett is something else.

This is kind of a repost from another thread, but did anyone else make this association from the Zach Follett picture?
It was the first thing I thought of

Now, picture piles & piles of punt returners in the background :-)

Haha
This picture is hillarious. I bet if someone spent a little bit more time on it (notice the tiny bit of blue and the shadow to the left) it woud be perfecto!

I love how Stafford went absolutely nuts celebrating the hit
I wish it was on the YouTube clip.

Yeah, that was awesome
That there was a hit and a half.
2009 = The start of the Lions Golden Age (We hope).

The one bright spot on special teams.
Hope it starts to rub off on some of the defensive players.

Follet
Zack Follet is one of those guys I was real impressed with coming out of college, for all those MSU fans you saw him absolutely shut down Javon RInger, and he was on Hoyer the whole game…………………….I was really happy to see him come to the Lions.

Thought this was appropriate
Check out a short interview from the guy Follet destroyed.

HAHAHA
“The hit didn’t hurt, but my mind wasn’t working”
Does that mean the hit did hurt and the synapses of his BLASTED BRAIN, just couldn’t relay the message?

When asked by the media.....
“Who is the one person you are most happy to see leave for the NFL”, a large number of remaining PAC 10 players said “Zack Follet”. And that in itself is awesome!

Do you have a link?
I’d love to read more on that poll
by n4ry4 on Nov 4, 2009 2:20 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Nah.....I read it at some point around the draft.
I just remember it.
by KDawg on Nov 4, 2009 3:19 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
It might have even been on ESPN......
I don’t remember where I saw it or read it…..but I’m not making it up! :o)

No, it sounds believable (just from watching Follett hit), I just like hearing stuff like this
especially after last year’s soft defense that didn’t seem to want to hit anybody too rough.

That hit was #6 on NFLnetworks top 10 plays of the week
by JazzyBBP on Nov 4, 2009 5:58 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
he needs to get in the lb rotation
there is some run defense…i would have loved to have seen him in there in the third/fourth quarter squaring off vs sjack…that would be a crunch and a half
by londonlion on Nov 4, 2009 9:50 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Follett plays with reckless abandon.....
And maybe he is just a bit too reckless to play LB for now…..but I have faith that he will learn.
by KDawg on Nov 5, 2009 5:31 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
agree, we have at least four LB's who are more complete than Follett right now
Levy and our starters.
by n4ry4 on Nov 6, 2009 7:23 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
just send him on the blitz every down
LOL! i bet he wins as many as he loses…but those behind the line wins would be awesome! at least he wouldn’t be intimidated laying the lumber on a guy like sjack
by londonlion on Nov 6, 2009 9:21 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Sure
Play him in a situational role when it doesn’t matter if he over pursues…..I could see that.
by KDawg on Nov 6, 2009 7:19 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
just send him with the front four...
let the others read & react to where the play goes and chase it down…he is good downhill…attacking…or turn him into an end…tremendously undersized…but got the killer instinct…i see ball…

Who did Zack Follet say was his biggest inspiration?
Click the link. Check the 2nd video for the answer. If that don’t get you fired up (and make you laugh at the same time), nothing will.

What? He can’t block a dead gopher? Humph, details.
