Wallace Wright--you have been the ST man and yesterday, you made a great tackle on a KO return. Ahmad Carroll--you're chase down of that KO returner was awesome! Way to go kiddo! Hodges: Fu*kin A kid! You done good to pin them inside the 5! Leon: What the hell would we do without you! You are the most dangerous mother-fu*ker that can be! Heard something about us being ranked high in starting field position and you are the biggest reason for it. Your punt returning is second to none! Even when you call a fair catch you do it at the right time! Feely: you're still looking a little shaky there my man, but your kickoffs were mostly deep and you hit a 40+ yarder. Good going. Entire Kick coverage unit: There was a moment there when we saw perfection in coverage. The ball was just caught by the returner and 4 of you were lined up in front of the wedge. There was no fu*king way that return was going anywhere! Mike Westoff: You are the best--I am not saying anything that is unknown.
Nice thread. I said "Thank god for Leon Washington" so many times yesterday. Even on small plays on offense, like the one where he was tripped up immediately after the handoff five yards deep, planted his hand and got up, got tripped up two yards deep, planted his hand and got up, and then dove ahead for a gain of two yards. He looked pissed off, but plays like that are HUGE. The dude is a master of hidden yardage. A fifteen yard punt return here... a loss of 5 turned into a gain of 2 there... it adds up.
Agreed. I thought Leon Washington played the best game on the field yesterday, both sides of both teams (well, skill players anyway). Very impressive.
