Here is a great read on DT Chuck Darby, one of the many unsung heroes for the 2005
Seahawks.
'Darby has no choice but to rev high on the field, seeing that he’s somewhat shorter than 6 feet and listed at 270 pounds. Sturdy, sure, but hardly meeting the accepted specs for NFL defensive linemen.
So, his game is a matter of leverage and determination. For blockers, facing Darby is like trying to keep a pit bull away from a pot roast.'
Wasn't that a great article? And that's a great picture for this post.
ReplyDeleteHere's a little different take on it.

ReplyDeleteWhen I read it, I knew it would get mentioned here, "For blockers, facing Darby is like trying to keep a pit bull away from a pot roast. " is a great quote, perhaps even bucket worthy. Nice job Bolling and Champion of the Inaugural 12SS Knock Out Pool.

I saw that play when it happened and pointed it out to my brother who was watching the game with me. Both he and I were saying cool and sweet play blah, blah, blah. I didn't realize that he had put himself in the game unnoficially like that then though, so that makes that play even cooler in my mind. Gotta love Darby, he's been a stud for us all year now.
ReplyDeletewas there even a Giants receiver anywhere near that ball? It seems like there's a hint of a white jersey to Boulware's left, but it's hard to tell.
