The NFL has released its Plays of the Year video for 2008. As you might expect, it's a high energy, well-produced 4 minutes, 32 seconds - with the requisite great catches, brutal hits and bloodied faces. Kudos to the league for not avoiding storylines such as the Plaxico Burress arrest and Detroit Lions' 0-16 season.
Your Carolina Panthers are prominently featured in the video, from Dante Rosario's season-opening, game-winning catch (1:26) to Jonathan Stewart breaking out (1:40) to Steve Smith spinning and avoiding Falcons' tacklers (1:53). There are others, good and not-so-good, including a quick Panthers-Giants montage.
And yes, Cardinals fans, your team is well-represented, too.
Tell us which play you thought the league missed. Or, your favorite play of the year? (The Observer's Scott Fowler gave us his Top 10 plays of 2008 this morning.)

that week 1 game was unbelievable
ReplyDeleteStewart stiff arm. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteD-Lo tied the all time record for 30+ yard TD runs this year but I didn't see him in there. I think one of his big runs against Tampa should have been included.
ReplyDeleteThey put Plaxico in there, I wouldn't mind seeing some bar security camera footage of Bridges' champagne incident
ReplyDeleteThat would be cool if I could watch one complete play in that clip. Or even half of one.
ReplyDeleteDid the NFL really put this out? They are using it as a promoting device and it features many things that were flagged and fined throughout the year. ie: Wes Welker's snow angel. Plaxico being arrested come on. Where is Pacman and the strippers? Disapointing that there is so many penalties and fines that the NFL say is harmful to football but they use it as promotion.
ReplyDeleteThis has been bugging me all season...why does Miami always get credit for introducing the Wildcat formation? Why don't the Panthers get credit for it? Doesn't anybody remember that Henning introduced it using Deangelo while still with the Panthers. They ran it with Deangelo during the Winke QB fiasco a couple of seasons ago? Why do Tuna and the Dolphins always get credit for it. I'm surprised that the Observer as least hasn't pointed it out.
