slowmoe57 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 On this weeks "Not the top 10" therefore it has no chance of ever duplicating the original Butt Fumble.Sanchez is still a Champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelticwizard Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Geno's fumble is obviously not as bad. At least with Smith, I understand what he was trying to do. He was about to get tackled on his right arm, right where he was holding the ball. He had to move the ball away somehow, or the tackler could just pick the ball out Geno's hands. He decided to transfer the ball to his other arm but could not pull off that transfer before he got hit and the ball popped loose. Not good, obviously, but at least he was trying to protect the ball. With Sanchez, to this day I don't understand why he did what he did. Things were going downhill for the team, lot of pressure on the QB as a result-but there's still no excuse for running into a stationary blocker's posterior. The TV announcers were trying to say that Moore was thrown into Sanchez' path, but clearly that's not what happened. If Sanchez runs three feet to the right he possibly makes the first down instead of plowing into his lineman's rearend and losing the ball.

He didn't really run into Moore's ass as much as he slid into it. which doesn't sound gay at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelticwizard Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 That would make sense, let me check the video again. Even if true it would be a little disappointing, since one step to the right of Moore there was a hole that might have taken him close to the first down, but at least there's an explanation of what Sanchez was attempting to do.

kelticwizard Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Looking at it again, you appear to be right. Sanchez decided to start his slide at the instant he passed Moore, who was blocking Wilfork. Moore might have moved back only a foot or so, but it was enough to interfere with Sanchez' slide which was just beginning. The hole to the right was not that big as I recalled it, and it was first and 10 anyway, so he didn't need to make a first down. Not a good decision, but at least I understand what Sanchez was attempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Mostro Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Yea but they already made a GIF out of it so there still potential Geno is almost Picarcek-esque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I don't think Sanchez was trying to slide. I honestly believe in a moment of panic, Moore's green uniform blended with the turf and Mark never saw him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stugotz81 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 you can see him tuck his leg that's a slide all the way. I agree, the left leg would not tuck in like that unless you were preparing to slide. It even seems Sanchez has vision of sliding right into that gap when Moores ass backs into his head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't the play dead as soon as the QB begins his slide? Honestly don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Yea but they already made a GIF out of it so there still potential LOL Yeah this has potential. It's like he was trying to hide the ball figuring maybe the guy wouldn't hit him if he couldn't see he had the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly don't know Rule 7, Section 2, Article 1: When a runner declares himself down by sliding feet first on the ground.

Honestly don't know I was always under the impression the ball was dead at the beginning of the slide motion. At least that's the impression the announcers gave me Rule 7, Section 2, Article 1: When a runner declares himself down by sliding feet first on the ground. The ball is dead the instant the runner touches the ground with anything other than his hands or his feet; That clarifies it...thanks Bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't really run into Moore's ass as much as he slid into it. which doesn't sound gay at all. Everybody seems to disregard the fact that Wilfork absolutley blasted Moore into Sanchez, lets not act like Moore was standing still, or pushing foward, he was getting blown back, and got an extra hard push from Wilfork at the exact same time Sanchez was trying to, well I don't know what the hell he was trying to do lol, but it is made out to be much worse than it actually was from a stupidity point of view, IMO Wilfork gets just as much credit for that play as Sanchez gets stupidity points.
