Sanity check: Langston Patterson
Posted: Sun Sep 03, 2023 9:48 am
First of all - today feels alot better than last Sunday as Vandy finally put together a half of football worth watching that gives you hope. I'm especially excited about a glimmer of hope of a running game. My sleep score on Fitbit went way up last night. 
On to my point, was anyone else cringing at the end of plays when (lets just say close to the whistle blowing but probably a moment or two after) Langston Patterson would come flying in and just hammer someone whose progress had already been stopped and essentially the play was over? It happened on several plays, maybe more than several. I'm all about playing to the whistle but he seems to push the envelope a bit as I saw a couple of times a referee would talk to him or players would start pointing. I hope that gets straightened out or we'll likely see some untimely unsportsmanlike penalties.
