They do this all the time, obviously, and they're only getting even better...
But the play I keep rewinding and playing ~ besides that beautifull 36 Yard Run ~ is the play directly before it: the 7 Yarder on first down, which was one play after Branch ~ who made an excellent block two plays later ~ rolled for that 1st down, if you recall. I hope y'all'll get a chance to play it back a few times, just for the sweet, martial pleasure of it:
~ 70 Mankins and 72 Light double team 96 Dawson, establishing the Right Seal on the Left Flank.
~ 72 Light leaves Mankins to finish Dawson, and goes to his left, right after 56 Hagler.
~ 87 Gronkowski DESTROYS 93 Freeney, establishing the Left Seal on the Left Flank. He just BULLIES him.
~ 83 Welker cuts back upfield on Gronk's right, taking on 25 Powers, to extend the Left Seal.
~ 76 Vollmer and 67 Koppen lock down the back side. Perfectly.
~ 63 Connolly sweeps around from the Right Flank, drives up the ally, and takes out 51 Angerer.
39 WoodHead flies up the Ally, and gobbles up 7 yards, before Power and Hagler are able to disengage and make the Tackle, setting up a gorgeous 2nd and 3.
LOOK FAMILIAR???
Notes
~ I absolutely love Matt Light, one of our Great Grizzlies, and a Lynch Pin of The First Dynasty, who did a great job on that play, as he almost allways does. But the merciless Barbarian in me can't help but imagine that somebody like Nate Solder ~ with a year of tutelage under Dante, of course, after we draft him, next April ~ might've taken Hagler OUT.
~ Hines Ward might've finished off Powers, but he doesn't have a fraction of Welker's deadly explosiveness, so it's a trade off I can happily live with...And of course, Brother Wes more than made up for that lack of domination on the very next play, which was itself a thing of great Blocking ~ and Open Field Running ~ Beauty. :rocker:
