For Those Who Have Rocked

Thought I'd pass on an excerpt from this week's Tuesday Morning Quarterback (see link to the left, or simply look on nfl.com) which shows the kind of thing commenators should be pointing out to you. It's these guys' JOB to watch football and tell you what's happening. DEMAND MORE!

The Panthers called a three-man rush. Marshall Faulk cut-blocked Carolina DE Mike Rucker, diving at him low; Rucker responded by jumping on top of Faulk. Brilliant play! Why? Watch Rams film and you will note Faulk often cut-blocks a DE to get underneath him while selling pass-blocking, then jumps up to catch a screen pass. Rucker knew this, and simply sat on Faulk so he couldn't get up. Marc Bulger just stood there holding the ball, wondering where Faulk has disappeared to. Carolina ended up with a sack that effectively ended the first half -- although with Rucker seated atop Faulk, at that point the Panthers had only two gentlemen rushing against five offensive linemen.
