Unsung Hero - Sav Rocca

[Chadwiko]

No need for a big long explanation. Just a quick thread listing the facts;

Sav Rocca - 5 punts, a long of 58, 2 inside the 20.

However, what the stats sheet doesn't show you?

Two undeniable touchdown saving tackles.

Sure, one was a horse collar... but still.

He deserves a huge shout out.

Hail Sav.

2 shots vodka to Savvvy!!!!!! ehhh

I was going to make a thread because I was sure no one would have done it yet. I am glad that I was wrong.

Sav Rocca deserves a lot of credit.

The touchdown he saved against the cowboys on Thanksgiving, and the touchdown he saved today. He is the most underrated player on the Redskins by far. He is a big reason why we can call our Redskins the NFC East Champions!

HAIL YEAH!!!

Thanks Sav Rocca!!!

If he doesn't get the horse collar, the guy probably goes for a touchdown. I can forgive Sav for that one.

I didn't mind the horsecollar not only because it saved a TD, but also because he's a punter. Bring the ball carrier down anyway you can when you're probably the smallest guy out there and definitely the least experienced with tackling.

Rocca did have a great game punting, but IMO the horsecoller was a bit much since it was obviously going to get a penalty. Good for the most part though.

I actually celebrated after the penalty, the best penalty of the season

The guy was an Aussie rules football player. He laughs at our tackling "rules".

Yeah me too. I didn't want Harris hurt on that play but he HAD TO BE STOPPED. I'm actually surprised guys don't just take penalties more often to save a score but I guess you have to be near the ball carrier to even be in that position.

You can't blame him for that. If he wouldn't have done it, we'd have give up 7 points.

[STBonecrusher21]

Yea it was a 15 yard penalty, but the decapitation attempt by Sav was ****ing awesome.



Hey that's clean in Australia!

Take it from me, as an Australian who is also a die-hard fan of the AFL team he used to play for here in Australia - he's big, and he can both tackle, and take a hit.

Love him.

I love me some Sav Rocco. Romo still threw a touchdown to Ogletree as a result of the field position. What it did do however is a take a few more crucial minutes off the clock. Big heads up play.

[MrJL]

wasn't a horse collar it was a facemask and it was awesome. I mean he started out grabbing the facemask, then he was like **** may as well go all the way and grabbed the back of the helmet too.

[LaRonDontLikeUgly]

Savage Rocca squished that dude's face.
