Spts1 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Everybody is in a uproar about how good Hester still is, but the tackle by Alford on one of those returns showed the speed he has and why he is my favorite Falcon defender. Most people would've given up on that play, but Alford stayed with it and walked him down... Go to 25 second mark... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Joe™ Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 It was a good hustle play but I wouldn't say "big", they scored on the very next play sure with Alford holding on to Baldwin for dear life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run down Hester after 60 yards you would be tired as well. It's probably why they lined Baldwin up against him. It's football strategy. We line up Gabriel and Robinson on Sherman to wear him down then sick Julio on him. It happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spts1 Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 Just now, FentayeJones said: Rocky was probably gassed after having to run down Hester. Exactly. It was all good. Trust me, nobody on the Falcons, coaches, players, ball boys, were upset with Alford for giving up that touchdown after the way he walked Hester down on the previous play...

I'd define 'big' as game altering plays. Neither the subsequent TD or had that been run back would have made a difference, that's just my view. Good hustle just to me, which isn't a bad thing of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, it also directly led to the touchdown on the following play, this was a coaching break down, not Alford's fault at all. Honestly, the only thing he could've done was call a time out.Honestly, the only thing he could've done was call a time out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spts1 Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 I like how Alford made Hester eat some Georgia Dome field turf also on the tackle. He was like " you made me run 60 yards, so I'm getting my money's worth "... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I still can't believe Hester still has that speed. Then again it's easy with all those blocks in the back and holds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandy Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Rocky has stepped it up big since Tru went down and proved all his distractors wrong. Respect to Hester too though. Old dude proved he still has something left in the tank. Best returner of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
