I've watched this probably 50 times. And it still brings me unbridled joy.

It's the play where Witten signals Dunbar to run behind him because he'll seal off the blocks.
 
But note that Leery passed the guy off to Beard, and when Beard moved to pick up the stunt, Leery reengaged.

A man becomes preeminent, he's expected to have enthusiasms. Enthusiasms, enthusiasms... What are mine? What draws my admiration? What is that which gives me joy? Baseball! A man stands alone at the plate. This is the time for what? For individual achievement. There he stands alone. But in the field, what? Part of a team. Teamwork... Looks, throws, catches, hustles. Part of one big team. Bats himself the live-long day, Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and so on. If his team don't field... what is he? You follow me? No one. Sunny day, the stands are full of fans. What does he have to say? I'm goin' out there for myself. But... I get nowhere unless the team wins.

 
He saved Martin's shorts. Martin should have passed the DT to Free and then come back inside. He is still used to keeping an edge as opposed to handling the interior.

It was a great pickup by Fred but I still don't like seeing Martin screw up another stunt back inside of him as he overpursues outside.
 
Still loved that gif. They made the vaunted Seattle passrush look so pathetic on that play. It looked like a pinball being knocked around in many directions.
 
My favorite part was Fred just tossing #97 like a rag doll back to Leary before going to pick up the other man.
