Felix TD vs Titans - An amazing run gone unnoticed...

[Hot_Toddy]

Felix's TD run vs Titans at the 1:17 mark of DCFanatic's highlight video at Shango's site http://thedallascowboyshow.com (Current Cowboys video #8 of 50 - Entitled Cowboys 30, Titans 10).

Perhaps it didn't go unnoticed, but I haven't seen or heard it mentioned anywhere.

Felix looks like he was on ice-skates (with turbo boosts on his heals) on this play.

As soon as he gets the snap, there is a Titan player on the ground with his feet in the way. Felix cuts to the right and then cuts again towards the endzone in a nano-second, displaying remarkable vision in the process. From handoff - to cut - to second cut - to endzone took appx 1.5 seconds according to my 1-Mississippi counting method.

Felix is so incredibly quick it's tough to see the first time, I had to keep clicking back to the 1:17 mark to watch it several times and then attempt to slow-mo it via clicking play/pause as fast as I could LOL. And I STILL couldn't get the vid slow enough for the lightning quick Jones. It even looks like he's leaning at a 65 degree angle at one point.

I guess you may have to watch it a few times to truly appreciate it. Or perhaps I'm the only one so impressed with that run LOL.

Thanks to DCFanatic and Shango for the vid at their respective websites. (DCFanatic put the vid together I believe) www.thedallascowboyshow.com and www.dcfanatic.com

I dunno, maybe I'm the only one in awe of this play...Is it just me or do you guys notice this as well.

Word of warning: If you hit play pause to slow it down you have to do it extremely fast to keep up with Felix..He's near impossible to slow down.

Edit: Ultimate fail on my part when trying to embed the vid...Just have to follow the link - My bad.

Some of the best runs in the NFL are on short yardage or goal line plays. Dorsett and Emmitt had their share of those.

Few things there.

Romo fooled the linebackers completely. They were sure it was gonna be a pass. I can't imagine any defensive playcall in that scenario that calls for the ILBs' first read to be pass, but watch it and the ILBs first steps are to drop for the pass.

Flo buried his man. ?Witten? had a great seal block. Our offensive linemen went from the 4 to the 1.

Felix had to make one guy miss, and he did. I was way more impressed by his run where he was set to be blown up in the backfiled off the left side but still turned it into a gain.
