Sprint Game Ball: David Harris

Harris did play a pretty solid game, but I’d have to give it to the Brick. He was a solid contributor throughout, and was a pretty easy pick given that most of team underperformed. Not much competition this week unfortunately.

I once lost a game in semi-pro just like this one. The game had the same end result and read just like the story of this one. 2 great defenses. Both offenses kept out of the endzone. It seemed like every time we got close to scoring, the ball was taken away from us in a heartbreaking fashion.
At the end of the game the defensive coach lobbied for his defense to get the next practice off because they did their job perfectly and the offense layed an egg and let the team down. Our Head coach shot him down the second he said that and later fired him for that exact same reason. He said " We win as a team. And we loose as a team. Everyone has a hand in a lose".
That coach also made it a point to pick me as player of the game for how hard I worked on the O-line in a loosing effort. He could have easily picked any one of the guys on defense who had a better game then I did. But he chose me because I did my best to keep the offense focused. I wasn’t the best contributer or the most skilled at any point when I was on that team. Far from it in fact. But the presidence our coach set that night by rewarding an offensive player for never giving up created a wave of confidence that we rode to the superbowl. I’ll never forget that.

If I were Rex, I would do the exact same thing that my coach did that night. He could pick any one of the defensive players as POTG and have a great case for it. But I would choose a guy like Brick or mabye Woddy who kept their heads down, stayed focused and fought to the end.

I agree with John from a fans standpoint. Harris had the best game by far. Bart as well. Especially in the first half.
See ya GGN! Im out.

Bart Scott was pretty solid this week. He set the defensive tone early. And Damien Woody’s day was excellent too,perfect but for one inhuman spin move.

This is a huge trap game for us. Stafford to Johnson is probably going to be the most dangerous combo in the league in years to come, their screen game is solid and something we’ve got to watch closely, and that defense has very slowly been coming into its own. I expect this to be one of out toughest games of the year.

Of course I do hope I’m wrong and we blow them out.

Joint possession…. I was certain the NFL rule states that if the receiver and the defender come to the ground, both possessing the ball, that the ruling will be in favor of the receiver as a completed pass.

So how in the heck did the officials twice rule interceptions against the Jets receivers in Sunday’s game against the Packers? They clearly had possession on the ground to complete the pass play.

Can someone explain it to me?
