Was that a screen play? Or was he just supposed to crack and then roll outside as an outlet? No, looks like he was supposed to just roll outside, but the tight end was already there! Good work man, but if he were perfect he would have made another block. Still, 99 percent awesome
It probably wasn't easy to see him behind two offensive lineman and he probably didn't know the guy that was supposed to block him fell over. And he probably expected Ben to scramble away from the guy anyway.
I agree Ben does hold on to the ball to long at times...but it comes in handy to make great plays and in this situation, i believe it was just a good coverage sack
Great block but hes so busy admiring his work he doesnt pay attention to the blitz coming from the opposite side and Ben gets sacked. Nice play though.
@EverythingEvil007 thank u for not being a moron like everyone else who thinks he missed a block after crushing that dude. finally another person who observes things before speaking
Ha ha that's what I was thinking when I was watching this. Probably the same thing Bettis felt when he saw Willie turn the corner and sprint 20 yards without being touched.
@steelers3656 Very true my friend, very true. I do know one thing though... players they come they go. Saturday through sunday, monday... monday through sunday yo. I'm drunk but you made a good point.
@cmbuvi92 yeah i think he was so stoked about the first block that he got sidetracked and forgot about the defensive tackle getting free and hitting the gap lol.
@domaug Or hartwig tripped over the guy mendenhall KO-ed and therefore the guy got in....yea upsetting we gave up a sack but wasn't mendenhalls guy there
That was nice. i wish big ben could have got the ball away, would have made the block look a lot better. I like how mendenhall just looks at him after he hits him then just backs up into his position for the check down.
To bad he still got sacked

..The Halfback should be charged with the sack. xD
He knocks the guy clean out of his socks, into his own offensive
lineman. Thus, opening a pathway to the defender he was blocking,
as the halfback steps aside to watch the little bugger squirm. >:]
