Blocked FG

[D-Dogg]

Can we at least talk about how insane that blocked FG was. Dude literally box jumped the Oline and blocked the kick. I was pissed, but also incredibly impressed.

 

[oaken1]

we dont talk about that here

It was a nice block, that's for sure. If the kick had gone through and the rest of the game played out along the same lines that it did, the Cards would have won by 10. The handle ringing that so infects this board would have diminished slightly. I'd have welcomed that.

He jumps the blocker, how does that happen unless the blocker was in a position he shouldn’t have been.

Hand wringing.

Also note that IIRC the only reason the Cardinals had to kick the longer field goal is because Froholdt’s penalty, which negated a great Kyler run

It did negate the run. However had he not held that run wouldn’t have happened. So yes and no.

It was a deflection

but I would rather have had 3rd and 10 at the NO 29 (no penalty and a no gain on the Murray run) than 2nd and 21 at the 39.

and at that point -- MAYBE Petzing calls a pass at the 29 and they get a chance to convert -- rather than two runs in a row at 2nd and 21 at the 39 to settle for a FG

I remember Harry being a big Brian Bresee fan

he looks the part -- and the forklift move early on Isiah Adams gave me flashbacks to last year

We all know petzig isn’t calling a pass.

Either way would have been a shorter field goal - no hold, Kyler gets tackled for little or no gain, 10 yards closer.

Just another pathetic thing about this game.

We can’t even execute simple things.

Kind of getting tired of it and JG needs to start slapping coaches and players.

He jumped the gap between the center and the guard. Two guys lined up over the RG. The guy on the RG Right shoulder attacked the guard. Then Bresee boxed jumped the gap at the snap. Incredible athleticism for a big guy to do that.

Bresee did the exact same thing last season against the Giants:

Eventually they will teach down lineman to raise their hand in the air. If the opponent makes any contact with the defender, it is a penalty.

That play would now be called a penalty. You can't use your teammates to 'launch' yourself over the pile anymore. This game was one of the reasons that rule went into place IIRC.
