i was pouring through a box of miscellaneous tapes and i ran across my 2003 cleveland glenville tape. man did ted ginn put on a show that game. one of his scrambles is just insane to watch (and available in the video archive). anyways i watched this tape with an eye out for any curtis terry highlights. i never knew who he was at the time so my camera wasn't focused on him at all on defense (my lens was looking for freddie lenix and curtis smith and ted ginn on D). anyways i was able to pull off two clips of curtis and post them on the net if anyone wanted to see some realy brief video of him.

these are not highlights like the ginn highlights. one of the terry clips is him rushing the passer and being held the other one is him rushing the passer and getting there a little late but forcing the early throw. like i said not hilights for sure but it is some film and some is better than none. curtis terry is number 99 in the clips.

terry does have very legit d-end size. i saw he was listed around 205 or something like that on signing day and he looked much bigger in my tape. his speed was legit and he seemed like a tough guy on the end. he didn't get in on any tackles as massillon perry ran right up the gut nearly every run play which was away from terry and curtis smith but right at freddie lenix. probably a good strategy honestly. anyways he didn't look like a reach of an athlete but he didn't make many football plays either the game i saw curtis terry play.

anyways here is the link to the archive below.

if that link above isn't working off of this message board again for some reason you can copy and paste the link into your address bar and just hit enter. i know the site works but for some reason the links off of this board haven't for me and i know it isn't my html. weird. anyways below this is a quick FAQ i wrote on how to download my film if you need the help.

Not sure why it took me so long to get an account on Imagestation. Nice work, VG. I take it you don't think Terry is the "reach" that some feel he is?

signing up for anything on the internet takes me some time but ever since CLTbuckeye talked up imagestation to me i have been a big fan of them.

they give me free webspace (15 minutes of video max) and they allow unlimited bandwidth. this allows me to share my film on the net with the buckeye nation without me (or the buckeye nation) having to spend a dime. they don't even spam the email address i gave them to sign up.

not that sony needs the help, but i do use a sony still camera and a sony camcorder and all that and their products have treated me well, as does imagestation.

as for curtis terry, he is athletic for sure and i think the 205 number had to have been a typo that has been copied by all the sites. that guy looks more like 220ish to me. i remember reading some of his track times and they were impressive for a tall guy that isn't rail thin. he definitely has that glenville speed. if you put probably another 40 pounds on him and tons of technique he is a will smith type of defensive end. as is he is a poor mans derrick harvey. good pick up for sure.

Actually, the 205 pound thing puzzled me. Not sure you can start out at that weight and expect to play DE in the Big Ten although I'm sure some can do it(Not sure how big the DE from Wiscy this year was but he couldn't have been much bigger than 225). I guess if you have faith in the coach's decisions your a blind follower but I'll defer to them until a bunch of the players they recruit don't materialize.

I liked the video on Ringer. I've seen him a few times and your video has convinced me we need to land him. Thanks again for the link.

another picture. i just got done watching his film at bsb, should be an interesting player to look out for, it sounds like he's had a tough road to get to where he is now....i wish him all the luck in the future.

I was reading over on the Ozone and thought this was interesting....

"When he came out to practice the first day I thought he looked like (former OSU defensive standout) Cie Willie (Grant). We'd like to get him to where Cie was, only a little bit quicker," said Snyder.

I thought for sure he would red shirt. He was a late addition IIRC but coach Ginn swore up and down he was a player.

If he can bring the skills Grant broght but only quicker... yikes he would truly be the diamond in the rough in this class.

I for one was very pleased with Grants speed... shows you how much I know.
