Da'Rick Rogers !

[smokeylung27]

We just cut him..fml

[melkord]

@smokeylung27 No we didn't. Da'Rick has not been cut, suspended or anything else. Word is he and CDD had some serious talks though, but I would be really surprised to not see him and Hunter on the field opening day next year.

[jonathan6272]

Did anyone notice on the replay of it how he almost dropped it? haha what a bad ass i must say

nfl catch

[bigchris0886]

Darick is not the best on the team... just sayin

[melkord]

@bigchris0886 Justin has the speed and ups, but Da'Rick is a more physical receiver and will be able to overpower DBs better than Justin. Both have major NFL potential, but Justin would have to put on a little more weight.

[shanelevan]

can anybody say offensive pass interference?

[iwishforpie1]

@shanelevan Um, that'd be more defensive pass interference and then a push away from the defensive pass interference. If he hadn't push him away, then it would've been half a distance to the goal, and then touchdown. Rogers pushing away like that saved that other guy a long talk with the coach.

[TennVol92]

@shanelevan Defense made contact first

[shanelevan]

@TennVol92 can't really tell because it's at the bottom of the screen. still, pretty sweet catch. (this coming from a Vandy fan)

[shanelevan]

@TennVol92 actually, if you pause it at 5 seconds, Rogers made contact first.

[melkord]

@shanelevan That kind of contact happens all the time within 5-yards of the line of scrimmage. Nothing is ever going to get call there unless someone is blatantly holding on to a Jersey.

[shanelevan]

@melkord that's an NFL rule, and that's for the defensive player to make contact. But, I'm not talking about contact here. Also, I'm aware that the defended didn't make a play for an interception, but a push off should still count.

[shanelevan]

@shanelevan defender*

[melkord]

@shanelevan roger stopped and made the catch, Heyward kept going with his momentum to the ground. I know your upset Vandy lost, but you are trying to make something out of nothing.

And I wasn't talking about NFL rules, I'm saying in general, there is typically a lot of contact in that area past the line of scrimmage, at every level. Always has been, always will be.

[shanelevan]

@melkord We didn't lose because of this play; we lost because we ran into the kicker prior to this play. We lost cause Rogers threw that pick in overtime. We lost because Bray did the things he needed to down the stretch to win the game. I was at the game, and I didn't even notice that. I just watched this video, and from the bad angle, it looked like it could have been a push off.

[shanelevan]

@shanelevan Rodgers*

[shanelevan]

@melkord Also, I'm not arguing that it should have been called because the "should have argument" doesn't help reverse the game results. It was just an observation I made after watching this video.

[TennVol92]

@shanelevan The Vanderbilt player blocked him from his route, thus he was allowed to make contact, so it was legal.

[obesecougar]

@shanelevan hell no. have you played wide receiver before?

[melkord]

@shanelevan There was nothing that resembled offensive pass interference in that play. Stay butt-hurt why don't you?

[shanelevan]

@melkord What? He clearly pushed off the defender and ended up shoving him down. It obviously at least "resembles" pass interference.

[melkord]

@shanelevan you are blinded by your homerism, both guys were being handsy (don't think that is anything close to an actual word..). If you think that would be considered a push off, you haven't watched much football in your life.

[ZKrashB]

@shanelevan D made contact first therefore the shove is legal just a good football play

[zcarver25]

just wait till my boy deanthony arnett starts gettin balls thrown his way! and Jason Croom  4 receivers deep!

[volsbrayfan8]

Tyler, Da'Rick and Justin next season...can't wait!:)

[CaptainRedzs]

You think he is good now? Wait till next year, Tyler Bray,Da'rick Rodgers,And justin hunter will all be in the pack! Go vols!

[jaxoncorleone]

Simply incredible catch by DaRick Rogers,nothing short of amazing. Can you imagine the passing threat Tennessee will pose with Rogers, a healthy Justin Hunter and Tyler Bray at 100% ? Only 1 word- UNSTOPABLE

[supersayin1]

AMAZING!!! GO VOLS!!!

[SoTx1000]

I was at that game last night! It was loud! The crowd pit up after the pick 6 in OT
