He whiffed on 3 blocks, 2 of which ended up making the tackle. He sidestepped them to reach the LB, who was already pancaked by the time he got there.
This guy was wearing a go-pro apparently.
I really don't think anyone walking around in 2015 who uses the word Redskin is referring to anything other than a football team.
Or potatoes.
And seriously, seeing the potatoes just makes me think of the football team.
He's looking inside to seal the LB and give JC space outside. He misses the safety, but that's just because of where he's looking, not because he "doesn't want to hit anybody." Not his fault Teller got there first and planted the guy.
Good point about Hardhome. Thats not the way things go in the book, so for the show to go through the trouble of taking that direction, giving us such an awesome episode and then set up between Jon and the Night King at the end (not to mention the sheer cost of producing an episode like that)...and then just kill him and not come back to any of that at all makes little logical sense.
Where did you get that "opponents view" picture of Sam Rogers you used on the bottom?
demoralizing? sure. Utterly head scratching? Absolutely. But the thing is, that game was tied at this point and the game ended tied. I haven't seen a graph of win probability, but I'm guessing this play didn't move the needle as much as most of the others Joel's covered in the series.
A turnover on your 45 is bad, but I'm guessing the most devastating play resulted in immediate points (as in, pick six or punt block for a TD) not just the chance to score points.
Just seeing this picture of RMFW at the top of this page gave me a tingle in my Hokie parts. What a great RB, just the right blend of size, speed, and most importantly, vision.
All three of them were in one frame of that highlight, how did the camera color not fault to only shared shades of orange and maroon?
If you don't like that a team uses Redskins as it's name, there are 31 other teams you can choose to follow. It really is that simple. And as for those trying to make the argument that "words can become offensive over time," I really don't think anyone walking around in 2015 who uses the word Redskin is referring to anything other than a football team. The word hasn't become offensive. The word hasn't changed. People's delicate sensibilities have just decided to take offense at it. That doesn't make the word wrong. That makes their perception wrong.
How many players does he block in that play?
How many players did he have a chance to block on that play?
Exactly
You're right. The guy who gave up his body and played through injuries his entire career at VT decided he just didn't want to hit anybody.

when does summer camp start? I miss football and have had enough with this NBA free agency song and dance
I'm looking forward to your analysis.
Particularly the part where you point out how things are likely to be better this year, and why.
You relegated Bud Foster to #11?
God bless your soul, you might want to go in hiding for a few days.
All I see is a picture of a GiT coach.
That's what they get for looking like Jimmy Clausen
i didn't realize that emus were such awful animals.



Yep... Once you see it, you can't unsee it.
Wang went out of his way to avoid contact on that play. Bad.... awful....
We have guys double pancaking defenders and twinkle toes over there is sidestepping anyone in blue.
Seriously. This is how I narrate this gif in my head:

FUCK MATT RYAN?
Must be a Florida thing....

To be fair, the guy he was aiming for got taken out by Teller.

That's a lot of claiming that something isn't offensive when there are multiple entities out there saying the exact opposite.
Just because something isn't offensive to you doesn't mean it isn't to others.
