The BlueFoot Destroyer Award goes to...

I have to tell you, I was worried for a while that I was going to have to give this award to a Saint. 258 lb. Fullback Mike Carney took Andre Dyson out of the game with his brutal impersonation of a Mack Truck cattle guard, but there were no outstanding physical hits coming from the Seahawks.

Then, in the second quarter, Seneca Wallace breaks loose for his 24 yard run, and who gets him that last block that springs him for the TD? None other than Joe Jurevicious, chicken-fighting with the last would-be tackler with a chance to prevent a touchdown.

But still, as good as that block was, that is not what this award is about. This is the BlueFoot Destroyer award, or BFD, and it warrants a violent collision, whether a block or a tackle. But nothing I saw in the first half even deserved honorable mention.

But then, in the third quarter, it happened. LT Wayne Hunter got a bee line on a Saints DE that was in full pursuit of Seneca, who was scrambling to the left. Hunter blind sided his @$$. He laid him out like a beach blanket.

Congratulations, Wayne Hunter. You win the first BFD ever. What are you going to do now?

  4. Ohhhh, Weaver. I hate to say it, but those were SORRY tackles he broke. Nothing but a whole series of ankle biters.

    I still think it was a very good run, it just wasn't typical NFL caliber defense he ran through.

  5. Lol - Actually, if I were bald, I would look a lot worse than that. My dome has all sorts of weird 'features', not like that shiny cue ball you see in the pic.
