Tigris Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 This will probably get buried and not get commented much on... but does anyone else think Wilson runs like a runway model? He always has that arm out to his side, palm down. I liked the stiff arm and tough running last night, but that hand bothers me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever notice his left hand?

Physically, he's long recovered from getting plowed over by West Virginia's Quincy Wilson on Oct. 2, 2003, a play where Wilson caught a screen pass, then barreled through Meriweather's attempted tackle on his way to the end zone to put the Mountaineers ahead with 2 minutes left. Miami rallied to win, but the hit was one of the that season's most played highlights -- and Meriweather still cringes when asked about the play. "Of course I was embarrassed by it," Meriweather said. "Who wouldn't be? That was on national TV, a Thursday night game, you got embarrassed almost for the gamewinner. ... I feel like things that don't kill you make you stronger, so therefore I feel that helped me jump over some hurdles." These days, Meriweather -- a slight, 6-foot, 188-pound safety -- is inflicting big hits, not taking them. He leads No. 9 Miami in solo tackles (21), total tackles (30) and tackles for loss (four), numbers he'll look to increase when the Hurricanes face South Florida on Saturday night. He sent Clemson's Cole Downer to the hospital for surgery to remove his spleen; Meriweather drilled him with a vicious, but clean, tackle during the fourth quarter of their game earlier this year. "Unfortunately, that was mine. ... I think he tried to jump at the last minute and I caught him when he was at the height of his jump," Meriweather said. And when Colorado's Evan Judge came across the middle for a 15-yard catch last weekend, Meriweather drilled him into the turf; Judge caught only one more pass, for minus-6 yards, the rest of the day, and the Hurricanes went on to a 23-3 win. Meriweather came into the season knowing that the leaders of the past two Miami secondaries, Sean Taylor and Antrel Rolle, were gone to the NFL. The way he saw it, this was the right time to prove his worth. "I'm a year older, I'm a year smarter, I'm a year bigger," Meriweather said. "It's just maturity. Thanks to our coaches, thanks our defensive line. They helped me mature. That's all part of what happened and that's what's making me better." The league is already taking notice. Meriweather earned the Atlantic Coast Conference's defensive back of the week award after recording 13 tackles against Colorado. Off-field work may be the biggest factor in Meriweather's on-field success. He's turned into one of the more studious Hurricanes, spending extra hours in the film room over the past few months, including time with former UM standout Ed Reed - the reigning NFL defensive player of the year with the Baltimore Ravens. "When you get to this level, as I've said before, you can only lift so much weight and you can only run so fast," Miami coach Larry Coker said. "How are you going to be a difference maker? How are you going to take your game up? And that's what Brandon's done." He's also trying to raise his teammates' level of play. Meriweather calls freshman Kenny Phillips "my protege," even though he and Phillips are both safeties -- and he knows that the super-talented newcomer could eventually take playing time away from him. "He's just a great guy," Phillips said. "Me and him, we're like brothers. He's like my big brother. I don't have one. This summer, he took me in under his wing, allowed me to stay with him, threw the playbook at me and was teaching me everything, drills and everything. He just watched over me." Meriweather approaches teammates after subpar plays, giving them an immediate pep talk during practices and games. He invites underclassmen to approach him with their questions and problems, football-related or otherwise. On the field, he wants to be a playmaker. Off it, he wants to be a leader. And he isn't letting his newfound positive notoriety change him. "I'm really not paying attention to that," Meriweather said. "I'm still the same old Brandon."
