Davenport Destroying Barkley (1 Viewer)

[Zack Lee]

Ive probably watched this 30 times now. Favorite play of the season.

He first destroyed the LT #76 before destroying the RB. Wow. Dang if feels good to win and be 3-1.

Do 3-1 thru all quarters of the season and I’m a happy camper. ?

Beautiful play and he is s beast! Glad they didn’t call the facemask though...

Especially since it wasn't a facemask penalty

Speaking of Barkley, he landed HARD on his shoulder on that goal line plunge base line dunk, surprised he didn't separate it.

He grabbed the inside of his shoulder pads.

Refs called a fair game.

All I could think was.. He's deceptively fast. Marcus juked that lineman, closed on that shifty little RB, and swallowed him up in literally 2 seconds.

We've got something special here folks. WHO DAT!

He made that guy look dorky

I've said it before and I'll say it again..........this guy is a man and he doesn't know it yet!!
It's going to be fun watching him grow up!!

I honestly have not seen that sort of play since a young Wayne Martin. Man if this kid stays healthy he’s going to be very very special.

That's exactly who this kid reminds me of.. Spot on!

I hope so. That’s very high praise.

Dude broke #76’s ankles on his way to blowing Barkley up. Awesome.

I don't know what that inside move was called, but holy crap was that LT not expecting it.

Looks like a swim move, although contact was pretty minimal.

From the looks of it, the Giants LT (#76) was trying to reach block Davenport, who I'm pretty sure was lined upon his outside shoulder. which is why the LT his first move was to take a step to the outside. It looks like Davenport then cut inside, the LT couldn't recover which led to Davenport blowing up the play.

Strangely enough, that seems like the opposite of what Davenport should have done. I was always taught when lineman tries to reach block you, you have to beat them to the outside. I'm actually wondering if this was a some called stunt.

But I never played beyond high school ball so don't take my word for it. Maybe eliaswilliams or TCUdan will weigh in.

I’ve been watching since 2006 and I can’t remember seeing anything close to what he did on that play.

It’s the fast twitch muscle and the speed on the explosion.
There’s not many on the planet at that size that can move like that.
