Was obviously a huge play, but did anyone think the following:
1. A younger Michael Vick scores
2. A block from DHB on the left hash gives Vick the sideline to score.
3. DHB purposely didn't block to avoid an unnecessary penalty on such a pivotal play. (He saw the stupidity on punt returns earlier)
4. DHB down field blocking is an oxymoron.
5. Fuck it. It was a great scramble and set up the win.
Vick's scramble
3. DHB purposely didn't block to avoid an unnecessary penalty on such a pivotal play. (He saw the stupidity on punt returns earlier)
Thats what I thought upon seeing replay.
He probably held his block for the first 5-10 yards of the run and then let go as the defender spun towards Vick.

Eh I give Weddle credit there, he didn't turn one way or the other and for DHB that's a tough block to hold that long.

Looked to me like #3 was the case.....but all in on #5.
