This was the Play Of the Day (POD) for our Saturday on August 4, 2007:

Three receivers were lined up on the left and one receiver was lined up on the far right. The three receivers on the left did five yard stop routes and the receiver on the right did an eight yard stop route. Seeing the congestion, one of the receivers on the left cut across on a drag route.

But Sam was playing middle linebacker and like a puma on the prowl, he sniffed out something in the breeze. Reading the play perfectly, he pounced as soon as the ball left the quarterback’s hand, cut in front of the receiver coming across the field, snagged the ball out of the air, and trotted in for an easy score.

Thursday Play Of The Day

This was the Play Of the Day (POD) for our Thursday on August 2, 2007:

It was a case where the receiver knew exactly what his quarterback was thinking. On the first play from scrimmage Marcus, lined up near the far right sideline, took off like a flash at the snap. After waiting a few seconds Andre tossed a long spiral downfield. Marcus tracked the ball perfectly over his shoulder and arms stretched out, took the ball in softly without breaking stride for a one play touchdown drive.

The play was over before you knew it but it was a thing of beauty to behold. And for that, Marcus gets Play of the Day.
