....was sick.

You are not going to see a lot of INT's off a shuffle pass.

One sack away from 20/20

Yea, I couldnt believe he got it. That was IMO a great play call against us. If Wilson doesnt make that play I think they score there.

Portland Oregon these days.
Being at the game, I couldn't wait to get home and watch that on TV. I thought it had to be one of those fluke things, where Wilson just happened to be there.

But that was all A-Dub in a brilliant maneuver.

Yeah, we were in the endzone, so that play was a bit shielded by the line. I was 100% certain that it was an incomplete pass that they were acting like was a fumble recovery and it would still be the Seahawks ball. Then they actually gave it to us, no challenge and in the celebration I didn't see a replay.

I got home, watched the play and was dumbfounded but the sheer athletic ability and brilliance to jump that "route." I don't ever recall seeing a shovel pass intercepted. It comes tantalizingly close to my defensive play dream scenario...a defensive player in the backfield so fast that he literally takes the handoff from the QB and heads off downfield. That AW int off a shovel pass is the next best thing, IMO.

I can't recall when, But I know for certain I have seen a D-lineman grab a shovel pass once or twice.. most likely on a bobble from the RB.

I don't mean to discount a play like that, but bobbled from a running back is one thing while snatching it out of thin air a yard from the QB's hands is far more impressive. :)

Dockett did it against the Rams.

I dont think the rb bobbled it either -- 90 just blew up the play and was in the middle of it before Bulger could react
