Speaking of crack-back blocks, during the Cleveland game while on the sidelines, i watched a Steelers play run towards the Browns sidelines.

Big o’l 6-4 275 pounds of outside linebacker Matt Roth for the Browns attempted to gain outside leverage on a Rashard Mendenhall run. As Roth moved towards the sidelines, what must have been a crack-back block upended the “Mighty Roth” and set him sidewise on his face eating Cleveland Browns Stadium dirt.

I was expecting to see the “Tougher than woodpecker lips” (as Tunch Ilkin likes to call him) Hines Ward standing over Matt Roth after knocking Roth to the turf.
Instead i was pleasantly suprised to see Steelers rookie WR Emmanuel Sanders standing over the Roth, giving Matt plenty of time to see who had mulched him.

Sanders than began jogging to the sidelines looking at Mike Tomlin, bobbing his head up and down with a smile on his face as if to say “I got him coach.”...........

Manny Sanders laying out Matt Roth? That's NOTHING!

Does anyone remember the play where Sanders laid the wood on Pro-bowl defensive-end Will Smith during the Saints game. That hit was freakin' vicious! And yes, you heard right, a 180lb. receiver destroying a 282lb. pro-bowler.

Sorry, guys...I couldn't resist. :heh:

Not only has he been impressive on the field, he is another player that seems to love player/fan interaction. He will talk to fans on Facebook (He's responded to me multiple times) and over the weekend, he conducted a live video cam chat. He read all the comments and answered everybody's questions for about 45 minutes. Nice young man!!

I like Sanders he seems to play the game hard. We are going to have the best receivers in the league.

Don't want to hi-jack this thread because I too am very impressed with sanders, I think Hines has already had a big influence on the blocking skills of the young Steeler recievers. BUT Craig Wolfley always get me to LOL. I wish he, Tunch and Hargrove could do the TV games!
