Nate Ebner video

[Mack Herron]

Nicely done video of an impressive guy. Love to see him medal.

 

[The Boston Patriot]

Excellent video. He is quite a guy.

 

[WaterfallJumper]

I'm impressed. I didn't know that Bleacher Report put out this level of quality. Great video, particularly the practice footage of the rugby team. Ebner is going to be a monster upon his return.

What a heart wrenching video.. Didn't realize what had happened to Ebner's dad. Makes me want to root for Nate even more..

I would suggest that the Pats send ALL their DB's to play rugby in the off season. At least then we would know that they would be fundamentally sound when it comes to tackling. That's what I got out of watching this video. Ebner has great tackling technique. Always with his eyes up, his head up, and his arms wrapped around the runner. It did my heart good.

Damn . If that doesn't bring a tear to your eye.... Makes me think about the trivial things I let bring me down. The guy is amazing.

Does the US team have a chance? How good are they?

I was wondering the same thing. I will say this, Having Nate is a big ass plus!!!

Everything I have read says that they are a good team but a notch below the Kiwis, Fiji, South Africa and the Aussies.

 

[PatsGuy]

That was a great vid. U know, when he comes back, he'll b in GREAT shape!
USA!!!

Too f***** cool. Bring home the gold Nate!

What a boss. His dad would be proud of everything he's accomplished now and in the future, I presume. Let's go Nate! My one concern though is hopefully he doesn't get ill or sick. After Collins' unusual sickness last year the first thing I thought when Ebner was trying out is that he'll get quarantined by the Pats before they let him back "in"...but we want him back and wish him ALL the best in fulfilling a dream, wicked proud...stay healthy in every way!

With Carlin Isles and Perry Baker on the wings. Fiji is in our pool so they'll be a very tough opponent. If we knock them out early that's a shoe in for us. Also don't sleep on Danny Barrett, he's a game changer as well. I'm excited!

Here's the schedule for those who want to follow:

U.S. vs. Argentina: Tuesday, August 9 at 12:00 p.m.
U.S. vs. Brazil: Tuesday, August 9 at 5 p.m.
U.S. vs. Fiji: Wednesday, August 10 at 12:30 p.m.

Three games in two days? Sounds brutal.

Yep. The matches only last around less than a half an hour though.

 

[Mack Herron]

Underdog but lots of support at home.

 

[pats4life12]

Such a crazy story, I really hope he comes home with a medal.
