Most Memorable/Significant Play from 2013-2014?
38 replies
Galantforum_veteranOPWas just watching a replay of the Phins victory of the Pats last season and it brought to mind an article asking people to vote for their favourite play by Clay. My own choice wasn't even an option, probably because it wasn't a touchdown, however, the 4th and 5 catch, turn and run in the 4th quarter is the play that struck me hardest, impressed me most, and has stayed with me longest from last season.
Here's the clip from 4:46 onwards.
First of all there was the call to play that 4th down instead of punt it. Then there was the pass which was contested and yet somehow got to Clay, then there was that 5/6 yard run which lead to Miami getting that vital touchdown. It wasn't a pretty play but it was an absolutely central one which showed guts and a cool head.
So here's the question - now that we're a decent ways removed from last season which ONE play has stuck with you from last year as being the most memorable/significant and why?

LarryfinfansubscriberI know this is not what you asked in the thread, but if you look at a turning point, for me, it was the Browns game...No, it wasn't the best offensive game or the best defensive game, but together, it was the best this team played for an entire game...no other game gave me the confidence that this one did that we were a better team...jmho, but that's what I saw...

CitizenSnipsNew MemberCharles clay against the chargers. Charles clay against the steelers. Charles clay against the patriots.
Favorite play? Not sure, but it involves Charles clay, I promise
brandon27subscriberCome on, that's easy... its' Michael Thomas picking off Brady in the endzone to seal the win.

The first game?

cuchulainnsubscriberRavens game... when Tannehill rolled out to escape the pressure and extend the play and connected with Gibson on a 46 yard completion on 4th and 10, to extend our final drive.
Gibson, to his credit, realized the play was broken and cut off his route to help his QB out.
Why? Great escape/roll out, great pass, amazing catch. It was just an amazing play all around and one in which Tannehill demonstrated his athleticism and arm. Too bad the OLine cost us the game.
Galantforum_veteranIf you have the time, I'm curious to know why these are your picks. :)

Ohio Fanaticsubscriberthat's a tough one between the safety vs Bengals and pickoff vs Brady.

PhinFan1968subscriberOffense - Clay's 4th and 5.
Defense - Michael Thomas back-to-back Brady-killing plays.
Special Teams - Getting off the field.
Edit: I can't be that mean. Special Teams - play made against the Pats where our guy leveled their dude...can't remember who it was but it was a killer hit.

So close, yet so far. Sums up our season pretty well.

Terrific play. And a microcosm of the season. 4th and 10 and we are using a 7 man protection to block what is obviously going to be a 4 man pass rush by the Ravens. Might as well hold up a sign that says "our OL sucks".
Tannehill makes a great play, Gibson falls down instead of turning up field to get more yards or possibly score. Bad clock management and more suckage from the OL stalls the drive outside of realistic FG range. Baltimore, Buffalo, Tampa, NE, all games where we ha a lead late but couldn't run the clock out or protect the QB on the final drive(s).

Indeed. Fantastic play.
Gibson was my favorite receiver last season. Our offense fell off when he was lost mid-season. We went from averaging just over 23 ppg to right around 19 ppg after losing him.
He also provided one of the sole high-lights of the first Bills game with his all whirly-whirl plunge into the EZ for a TD - through 4 Bills defenders. Loved his effort while we had him.

Yeah, have to love that kind of effort and will to win.

Most plays involving Clay just plain being hard to tackle and/or extending a drive and/or driving a pile into the endzone.
Headcoach material wouldn’t want to work somewhere they’re not trusted with actual football decisions.
CitizenSnipsNew MemberTo answer the thread specifically, the td against the steelers where palomalu had clay dead to rights but clay kept at it, spun away and escaped for the game winning td.
I was there. Steelers fans were stunned. The stadium was pissed and a lot of fans left for the parking lot after that play. It was awesome.

been saying this over and over, Tannehill is a freak going to his left, not many qbs can get themselves into a position like that to throw, the dexterity he has on the run, especially to his opposite side is freaky and good..you can't draw the mechanics up any better for that type of throw, see the way he uses his off hand as balance, shoulders are completely square to his target, check how his feet are practical off the ground, it's perfect actually.
Galantforum_veteranAnother play that is definitely memorable and which might be significant in highlighting a big move on the roster which yields change is from the Bengals game:

It's one thing when you get a good player, especially at value, it's another when they continue to grow. So happy to see Brent get his first pick six! May there be many more! :)

Ditto and I was there as well.

I said this then and I still believe it. Even if Wallace catches that ball he's down before reaching the endzone and we run out of time. It would have been awfully close though.
