Season II Week III5 We open in rainy Miami just after the 2 minute warning in the 2nd quarter, with the Dolphins leading the Chargers by 3. San Diego comes with a zone blitz to the offenses left but Tannehill (pronounced Tan-A-Hill) makes a quick decision and is able to squeeze a ball over the dropping defensive end, and underneath the strong safety. 2nd year WR Jakeem Grant is contacted almost immediately but makes a tough catch in traffic for the TD. Miami would roll in this winning by a score of 50-3. Yes you read that correctly the score again was FIFTY to THREE.
4Many have been dazzled and amazed by the stats Saints rookie WR Cory Skelton has put up early in the year. Through his first two DWho games he has amassed 10 catches 184 yards and 4 TDs. The Buffalo Bills saw his talents first hand in week 3 but may have left with more questions than answers. A direct quote from the Bills owners post game press conference had him wondering if "warping has been invented and implemented into Saints offense by Saints rookie WR Skelton" While we don't know the physics of the play it was certainly a nice toe tapping sideline grab for the Saints rookie, who finished the game with 6 catches 106 yards and a TD in a 17-15 New Orleans win.
3How about a little defense, wouldn't that be nice once and a while? Well we have just the user to get it done. On the Jaguars first drive of the game, Ravens' user controlled LB Kamalei Correa immediately drops to the left side of the screen to take away the quick pass to the TE. In turn the Jaguars QB thinks the post being run behind the vacating LB must be open but not so fast. This is DWHOs' most accomplished owner Luigi on the sticks. He makes a split second decision to leave the TE, now running a drag, open and opts to drop underneath the inside post route for the pick. Nice!
2And we will stay with what might of been the Game of the Week in week 3. Here late in the fourth quarter with Jacksonville leading the defending Super Bowl Champions by 8. Recently acquired HB Tevin Coleman gets the ball on a 'stretch play'. Ravens' undrafted rookie DE Wayne Rutherford absolutely blows up the play pushing Jaguars' veteran RT Kelvin Beachum 4 yards into the backfield and right into Coleman. With nowhere to go Coleman tries to get around the rookie but doesn't stand a chance. Rutherford forces the fumble and Baltimore appears to be back in business... that is until the redemption of Beachum
When Beachum was asked in the post game if he had any history of playing running back he said "Never, I was never allowed to. Even when i played Pop Warner football they used to put a big X on my helmet that meant I was over the weight limit to carry the ball"
Kudos to Head Coach Vanflank for drawing this one up when nobody saw it coming. Was this the much anticipated 'Annexation of Puerto Rico' play that has been rumored to be in the works for years? We couldn't get a solid answer to that, but maybe, just maybe it was.
BONUS PLAYSthis week we have the privilege of showing some bonus plays. The first bonus play is put here for informational purposes many a owner asks the question 'what the fuck do I have to do to beat Luigi?' This play should provide some answers to that question.
There you have it, basically late in the 4th quarter of a close game install an invisible force field at your goal line that the ball, nor any play carrying said ball can cross. If you can accomplish that you have a chance to win. GOOD LUCK
Bonus play #2 comes from a disconnected game that unfortunately didn't count. Isn't that the fucking worst losing good stats and incredible plays to a fucking disconnect? Anyway this play has Broncos running back C.J. Anderson showing what he is capable of. Getting to the outside for a decent gain, but now out of running room, with All-Pro LB/DE Khalil Mack hanging onto his legs for dear life. Anderson turns his attention to last years 1st round pick, the Raiders hard hitting strong safety Karl Joseph. And he treats Joseph like a fucking traffic cone that he is not willing to go around. On your back and grasping at air is not the position Oakland thought you'd be in when they took you at #14. Bulk up young fella this is a mans game.
1And our top play of the week brings us to Oakland with the Broncos leading the Raiders by a single point with six minutes remaining in the third. And the punt, fielded at about the 12 yard line 2nd year player Deandre Washington hesitates just long enough to draw the Broncos in before he turns on the jets. He turns the corner avoids two user tackles and then with one man to beat at the 46 yard line makes a sick cut to the inside, that leaves the defender wondering where he went. Oakland would go on to win this AFC West showdown 34-14.
That will do it for this weeks plays of the week Thank you to all who contributed whether, chosen or not. Thank you for sending plays in.
