Amazing Flip By Running Back Martee Tenner [VIDEO]
I've seen some crazy things of the football field. This ranks as one of the craziest.
Lincoln University is a Division II school that recently held a spring football scrimmage. Running back Martee Tenner decided to do his Jerome Simpson impression against the Arizona Cardinals during the scrimmage. Tenner did a full flip while leaping over a would-be tackler. I have many thoughts about this play. I'll attempt to go rapid-fire style:
1) WHY would the would-be tackler just stop and essentially watch Tenner do a flip-leap over himself? Run through the man. Don't stop!
2) Tenner does a flip-leap-vertical over a defender and eventually gets tackled at the 20-yard line? That's like Superman saving a damsel in distress but failing to drop her off at the correct address. You have to finish the job. How are you going to pull a minor miracle and show that you're mortal on the same play? Just sayin.
3) What's up with the extended slow-motion replay? Can we just get Martee Tenner's leap in slow motion without the whole play being slowed down? I started noticing that there are no stands on the opposite side of the field. Instead, Lincoln University is rocking out an odd-looking pasture and a barn. Really, Lincoln? I know this is Lincoln, but seriously, a barn?
Anyway, this is a great play by Martee Tenner. He basically incorporated some kind of Olympic-poll-vaulting maneuver without the poll on a football field. That's crazy. This video literally made my eyes bug while watching it. It's one of the craziest plays I've ever seen on a football field.
