Meshawn Johnson. Honorable mentions to John Abraham and Santonio Holmes. The Me first attitudes earn the kick.
Mo Lewis! If he doesn't smash Drew Bledsoe than Tom Brady rides the pine longer, gets traded to Cleveland and this whole patriots nightmare never happens. All hypothetical of course but Mo is still my choice because he is responsible for opening the door.
Glenn was the only one who DIDN't bite on the fake spike. Thats two who blamed the only one who read the play completely right who has blamed him for not being able to cover 11 players on his own. Not quite getting that one. To me, theres more than just one but 1998 opener @ SF losing the game by letting G Hearst run down field, a half dozen or more missed tackles for 96 yards and the game winner. That one sucked
But not white trash enough for you to open the thread, post more than a few times, trolling the board for reactions.
So while we were fantasizing about kicking Jets players in the balls, the Knicks just whiffed on every free agent.
Chad Pennington's shoulder. I often wonder how great Pennington could've been without multiple injuries to his throwing arm/shoulder. It was frustrating. Down by 4 during the 4th Q. Last drive. Never had a chance to win. Couldn't even complete a simple 10 yard out route without getting picked off. Fans mocking him calling Chad "noodle arm". Frustrating times. Injuries killed his potential. #28 Martin was always facing 7-8 men boxes and Chad didn't have the arm to scare them off and make them pay.
You are totally wrong! I remember that play as if it was yesterday! It is seared into my memory. It was Glenn that fell for it hook line and sinker and was beaten.
Not sure what the controversy is, as Glenn was very explicit about what happened. Frase was on the play immediately, and almost got to Marino. Washington claimed he knew what was going on and almost tipped it. The other linemen just stood there. And Glenn? Here is what he said about it 20 years later: "It seems like that play was in slow motion, in my view, from beginning to end. The receiver was lining up and I'm looking at Marino's face. When I finally caught on, the ball already was snapped. It was one of those plays where ... you know sometimes in your life when you have a feeling that something is about to happen and you just react? I had that feeling, but my reaction wasn't quick enough." (https://abcnews.go.com/Sports/fake-spike-20-years/story?id=27289931) There's no controversy - Glenn explicitly said that he was fooled for a split second, and that was all it took for the play to work. Here is a replay of the entire fake spike game: If you go to 1:57:45 they run a slow motion replay of the play, which confirms everything that was said 20 years later. Frase rushes hard from the start. It's hard to tell about Washington - he barely engages with the blocker, but does jump to try to tip the pass. Glenn slips immediately as Ingram goes by, presumably because of that split second delay in his reaction, and never really gets his head back into the play, as he keeps running towards the back of the end zone when Ingram stops and catches the ball. Interesting thing about that telecast - neither Marv Albert nor Paul Maguire ever mention the word "spike" or the phrase "back shoulder pass," since neither term was in usage then.
he didn't have to cover 11 players. He only had to cover the guy who beat him for the game winning touchdown. and he didn't.. obviously. aaron glenn obviously we all enjoyed his career here, but he was burned on that play. no need to try and change the past
