I was watching live when it happened, and I thought the same thing too. I rewound it and watched it slo-mo, she ate it big time!!

Don't know how long this one will stay up.

It didn't stay up long, already been taken down. I haven't seen what is posted but I know exactly what you guys are talking about I saw it live as well. I have it dvr'd here's a gif instead.

I am trying to figure out what the hell happened! It's obvious she was traveling at a deceivingly high rate of speed. At first I thought maybe her rear tire broke loose because of the paint line, but it breaks loose before the tire crosses the line. So, did she just lock down the front brakes knowing she had no rear traction in order to stop? I thought maybe she hit the curb and it caused her to go over the bars. But it's clear the front wheel locked up before she made to the curb. Was it a mechanical failure? Maybe she locked it down to avoid being obliterated by the trees? Hitting trees at that rate of speed would probably be life threatening, if not obliterating. Maybe there is a steep drop off on the other side of the tree line? I can only speculate she intentionally locked down the front wheel knowing the disastrous results. I thought she was dead too!

Watching that over and over...  The front wheel does seem to to slip before the back tire gets loose....  I wonder if some moisture started to form on the road? You hit the front brake with those skinny tires and thats not a good combination.....

    • This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.
    • I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops. 
    • I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
