IDBillzFan Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Anyone watching last night's game see the play where Iggles guard Artis Hicks stood in his position during the entire play? The defensive end ran right past him and plastered Blake, and Hicks NEVER left his position until the end was on top of Blake. If you saw the replay, it was obvious this guy just does not deserve to be playing this game. He wasn't daydreaming. He wasn't zoned out. He simply did not want to play. One of the most bizarre and lame non-plays I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted December 28, 2004 Author Share Posted December 28, 2004 Single mose embarrassing non-play in the last five years? 181874[/snapback] Without a doubt. Not as embarrassing as what happened a couple of Monday's ago...but pretty damn embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt in KC Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 That was really bizarre, and downright dangerous. (Go ahead, get a running start and take one free whack at our QB from the blind side!) All I could think of is that he must have been 100% sure the snap count was later and the play must be whistled down due to a false start by his teammates. Even so, you don't let a DE run unimpeded at your QB, even if the play is dead. Either that, or he was having a spiritual epiphany of the level that might make him spontaneously retire. Or he should have been brought into the lockerroom immediately for neurological (or psychological) tests. Bih-zarre.... I think, at very least, he might not be active for the next game, to send a message to his teammates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadBuffaloDisease Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 I saw that happen in a college game once this year. The entire O-line didn't move. And a few plays later on, Hicks had a penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRH Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Reminded me of the play at the Ralph in '95 or so when the Jests started rookie Everett McIver at left tackle. McIver was a converted D-lineman and had no business on the O-line that day, particularly since lined up across from him was a guy named Bruce Smith. The stojan hit the fan when McIver flinched just before the ball was snapped. Bruce blew past him and absolutely HAMMERED Boomer Esiason, who, being a lefty, had a nice clear view of Bruce bearing down on him. Bruce and Boomer flew through the air for about five yards before Boomer's head landed with a sickening thud on the Ralph's hard carpet. He didn't move for about ten minutes. I think he still has no memory of the ensuing six weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 I fully expected to hear some cheesy music and see some cloud-like dream bubble coming out of his head with a big fat bowl of hot soup or something in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis in NC Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 That play was absolutely hilarious! He stayed there, in his stance, so sure that the snap count was uh... 7? 12? Maybe I'll just stay here and be ready for the NEXT play. Yeah, that's the ticket, I'm ready for the NEXT play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
