How does it feel?
We'll have video of this in the next couple of days, but for those of you not at Rancho Cienega Park tonight, you missed one of the biggest hits I've ever seen. Birmingham safety Okechukwu Meke absolutely crushed a Dorsey receiver tonight.
I was talking on my cell phone at the time and my friend on the other line HEARD the hit. Crazy. She was like, ``What just happened there? It sounded like a car accident?'' I swear, I'm not making this up.
I asked Chukwu what it felt like to hit someone like that. I'm always surious how it feels and sounds. Like, can you hear the other player wince? Can you feel his body crumble?
``You know,'' Chukwu said. ``When you hit someone like that, you don't feel a thing. You just see 'em fall. But it doesn't even feel like you hit something.''
Interesting. It kind of reminds me of baseball/softball. When you really hit the ball on the nose, it doesn't feel like anything. You feel like you barely swung. ...
Check back on Sunday for Justin's defensive highlights from the game. Chukwu's hit is really that big.
