Pats Sign Griff Whalen

[SlowGettingUp]

Best known to us for his involvement in the fake punt in the Colts game.

On October 18, 2015 against the New England Patriots, Indianapolis coach Chuck Pagano called for a fake punt on 4th and 3 late in the third quarter with the Colts trailng 27-21. The play left Whalen snapping the ball to Colt Anderson with no Colts teammates blocking and two Patriots players standing over the ball. The play was stopped for a loss, the Patriots took over on downs and scored a touchdown en route to a 34-27 victory.

I suspect he may be viewed as mostly a kick and punt returner:

We're going to use this punt formation and convert it into a TD and the Ratbirds and Harbaby are going to go ballistic!

 

[BobDigital]

It is unfortunate for a player to be forever labeled for 1 play no matter how bad it is.

 

[bormio]

You know he gonna take some sh*t...

 

[Brick27]

Someone needs to turn that pic into a poster and put it on his locker before he arrives.

So, he was the one who snapped the ball when it wasn't supposed to be snapped at all?

I couldn't agree more/Mark "Buttfumble" Sanchez

 

[Jimke]

He had six fumbles in his short career so he should fit right in replacing Cyrus Jones.

Great.

Reminds me of how Courtney Lee is forever this guy

He was never to have been the center. He didn't know the play as the other guy got hurt. Why their moron ST coach didn't prep him properly or Pagano didn't call a time out is beyond me.

Makes you appreciate more how well BB runs his ship here.

These other teams are a walking clusterf--k.

Cyrus can top that in one game!

Whalen could provide some invaluable insight if the Pats play the Colts in the playoffs.

Meh.... Whalen look like a JAG

 

[Mike the Brit]

OK, a JAG -- but a crazy one (good for him):

[fnordcircle]

Those fumbles and the wonderpunt? All part of the plan.

Now time to call a deep cover agent back home.
