Pitta Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 This is a tricky one to explain because I don't want to mention really great players that have an amazing play in their careers people can always point to. I'm looking more for guys that when you hear their name, that play, that moment stands out above anything else they did. It'll probably be easier to just list my examples. Lots of postseason for obvious reasons. David Tyree - catching the ball with his helmet in SB 42 Scott Norwood - his miss in SB 25 Jumbo Elliott - his TD catch from Vinny to tie the Dolphins in the Monday Night Miracle Dwight Clark - "The Catch" against Dallas Nick Harper - returning Bettis' fumble and being tackled by Ben Garo Yepremain - the worst pass ever attempted in a SB vs. Washington Mathias Kiwanuka - his lack of a sack against Vince Young Bert Emanuel - his catch/no catch against the Rams that prompted a rule change Earnest Byner - "The Fumble" Freddie Mitchell - 4th and 26 Mike Jones - tackle on Dyson* ("one yard short") Joe Pisarcik and Herm Edwards - Miracle at the Meadowlands Clarence Davis - "Sea of Hands" Frenchy Fuqua - his role in the Immaculate Reception *I would have said Dyson too on that play, but he was the one that returned the Music City Miracle a few weeks before that. There are two more I have in mind, but I'll wait and see if someone else posts them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernMan Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Don Beebe - never give up Beebe, part B: turned fully upside down on a reception, with the crown of his helmet, him still in it, bouncing off the turf like a pogo stick (I believe in Cleveland). Amazingly and thankfully, he didn't suffer any lasting effects from the impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
