Astrobot Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 It was a new football term to me. I thought it was going to be dirty. While investigating BGIM's 5th Round pick on his Signature line (hey, I'm a robot--I do this stuff all the time--even while you sleep), it said that Derek Morris OT had 4 "Raleigh Rails" in one game. Source After some train references (all derailments), I found this: "One area where [NC State sophomore guard] Harris has excelled is as a conductor of the "Raleigh Rail." A phrase coined by offensive line coach Mike Barry, the rail is when an offensive lineman drives the defender more than five yards past the line of scrimmage." Source Now you know.

I Forgot My Last Username Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Thanks for the info. That would be nice for a change. All we have arount here are "Donut Rails". It's eating a series of five donuts consecutively right before a play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
