That's Using Your Head!

It's so much harder to do these after a loss, but the show must go on!

When the announcers said that Josh Brown had never kicked a game winning field goal, I thought that as he lined up for the 47 yard attempt with 1 second left in regulation, coupled with his second half touch backs, he was about to ice the victory and pick up his first MGA. But as the ball drifted left, and doinked off the upright, not only was the game in jeopardy, but his chances of picking up an MGA were wide left as well.

Kelly Herndon stepped up with a late game interception, which set up the final drive and 47-yard miss in regulation, but since he actually LOST yardage on the attempted return, instead of getting down and letting the offense take over, even though he's my boy, I couldn't give him the iron this week.

My other boy "12:30" once again did a decent job returning kicks and making tackles on kick offs, but Josh Scobey didn't do anything outstanding, which you'd have to do to pick up an MGA in back to back weeks. Maybe next week in St. Louis when he adds punt returner to his resume!

No, this week's Moonlight Graham Award goes to Special Teams player and back up D-Tackle Craig Terrill for the blocked field goal in the first quarter which kept the game from getting out of hand early, and gave us a chance to tie it up at the end.

"I got in there and got a hand on it," Terrill said. "I came through from the side and then it hit off my facemask. It’s very hard to get through. It’s pretty exciting when it happens. Too bad we didn’t get the last one at the end (of the game)."

Terrill, who was also credited with a tackle on defense is the first special teams player to step up and actually do something special.

Even though it was a tough loss, you can bask in the Moonlight for a week Mr. Terrill, and we'll look for more "heady" play from you next week in St. Loser.
