Steve Breaston has infinite hustle
Anyone see any of the Cardinals-Rams game yesterday? And if so, did you see Breaston's hustle play? I couldn't find a clip (maybe someone else has one?), but for those who didn't see it, here's a recap:
The Cardinals are in a shotgun formation on their own 45. Anderson takes the snap and the Rams' LDE comes around the edge and knocks the ball out of his hand. At this point, Breaston is running laterally in a drag route and is on the Cards' 47. He recognizes the fumble and without hesitation makes a b-line towards the ball, with a total of ten players (mostly linemen) between him and the pigskin. The ball meanwhile, apparently a fan of the Rams, bounces all the way back to the Cards' 23, where it is picked up in stride by the Rams' RDT, Clifton Ryan. Ryan (a Spartan, lol) sees nothing but daylight and begins racing (liberal usage of the word) to the endzone. Breaston is by now sprinting with full afterburners and is bypassing everyone between him and Ryan. As Ryan gets to the 5 yard line, Breaston catches him. But instead of trying to tackle him, Breaston, with authority, slaps the ball out of Ryan's arm, saving a touchdown and allowing the Cards to recover the ball.
Thing o' beauty.

I saw the replay. Nice hustle and determination for Breaston to track him down, let alone make that play.

He also had about 140 yards receiving too...Stevie B is turning into a pretty legit #2 wide receiver out there in Arizona

is it cost my Rams a chance at a rare win... I love Breaston and all... but I definately would have been okay with him not hustling that much.

Touchback. The Cardinals got the ball at their own 20.
