PLAYERS: Steve Slaton, Paul Posluszny, Ryan Moats, Ben Hartsock, Kurt Warner, Jake Delhomme
PLAYERS: Steve Slaton, Paul Posluszny, Ryan Moats, Ben Hartsock, Kurt Warner, Jake Delhomme
Steve Slaton(notes), Running Back, Houston
Texans. With about five minutes to go in the first quarter yesterday, Steve
Slaton caught a little screen pass, was hit by Paul Posluszny(notes), and then coughed
up the football. That was the last time Steve Slaton got to hold a football yesterday. It was like the
Texans coaching staff was just itching for a reason to bench Slaton, and
he gave it to them. In came Ryan Moats(notes), he racked up 126 yards and three
touchdowns, and I'm sorry to say that I can't think of a reason for Slaton to
see the field again. Congratulations on your new job, Ryan Moats.
Ben Hartsock(notes), Tight End, New York Jets. Three times yesterday, the
Jets lined up to attempt a two-point conversion. All three times, they failed,
and on two of those failures, there were penalties on Ben Hartsock. The first
time, he started falsely, pushing the Jets back and forcing them to settle for
the single point. The second time -- and this was the big one -- Mark Sanchez(notes)
completed the pass for the conversion, but it was called back for an illegal
shift on Hartsock. In fairness, Sanchez
took responsibility for the penalty after the game, but wherever the fault
goes, the penalty was huge. The Jets did get well into field goal range at the
end of the game, but couldn't punch through for the six. I would've really liked
their chances in overtime.
C.C. Brown(notes), Safety, New York Giants. C.C. Brown accepts this
recognition on behalf of the entire Giants secondary, and really, for the
defensive line, too. The Giants couldn't get any pressure whatsoever on Donovan
McNabb(notes), and he shredded them like store-brand cole slaw. On the big touchdown to DeSean
Jackson(notes), Brown bit hard on an inside move, which left Jackson open by about ten
yards in all directions. Of course, it doesn't help anyone in the back four when
McNabb can sit comfortably in the pocket for about eight minutes on every passing play, either.
Kurt Warner(notes), Quarterback, Arizona Cardinals. Say the Panthers are
about to play the Cardinals, and I tell you that one quarterback is going to
spend the afternoon turning the ball over like it's his job. You'd guess Jake Delhomme(notes), right? I would've. And I would've been wrong. Yesterday, it was
Kurt Warner with five interceptions (though two of them came off of
deflections). Just about every part of the Arizona football team bottomed out
yesterday. The performance, as a whole, is damn near inexplicable. Did they
bring in Dave McGinnis for a special pep talk before the game?
James Butler(notes), Safety, St. Louis Rams. I hate to include a Ram here
after such a glorious day in St. Louis football history, but it had to be done.
Only a Ram could pick up an interception and then manage to not only turn it
into a negative for his team, but actually lose points on the play.
Apologies for the poor video quality, but I wanted it to match the football
quality.
