One Frame At A Time: Maryland Comment Count

Ace

WOOP.

[Hit THE JUMP for a casual punt block, a ball with eyes, the Don Brown Shruggie, and much more.]

THE FULL ALBUM

Is here.

HONORABLE MENTION

Long PBU.
Impressive Walker run.
Harbaugh peeved.
Hurst TFL & half-hearted belly rub.
McKeon wide open waggle TD.
EXCESSIVE JUICE!
Screen murder.
Mega-TFL.
Poggi TD wsg MEAT.

10. Disputing Very Critical Call

Note the time. Greg Frey is fitting in quite well, it appears.

9. Ow

I don't think Ryan Brand was tall enough to get on that ride.

8. Chris Evans, Power Back

GERROFF ME.

7. Euro-Step Punt Block

Perfectly descriptive GIF title blatantly ripped from this guy.

6. Straightforward Interception Return/Not-So-Straightforward Interception Return

First of all, this is an absolutely gorgeous play from David Long to drop off his man directly into the throwing window. Then he shows off some wheels (with a bonus open-field pancake from Aubrey Solomon):

Khaleke Hudson, meanwhile, took a more "TOUCHDOWN OR DEATH" approach to his interception return:

He'd still be running if nobody had blown a whistle.

5. Holy Roller

Splitting the wickets twice in that situation is remarkably improbable.

4. Gruff Shruggie

Honestly, this should win.

3. Another Good Call, Pep

The pre-snap motion here is just evil (play is slightly sped up so the pre-snap stuff would fit):

Harbaugh, once again, approves of Pep Hamilton's work:

2. Something Out Of Nothing

Full play:

Replay with Higdon focus:

(Wipes away tear.) That's my quarterback:

FRAMES OF THE GAME: ELEVATOR UP

R2, triangle.

Just the triangle:

A NOTE ON DOWNLOADING GFYCATS

I've noticed a few comments about the low quality of some gifs when you download from the gfycat page. I found a workaround.

1. If you click any of the honorable mention links, you'll go right to the page you need. If you click on the gfycat embeds, they take you to a slightly different page, so you'll need to change the URL from gfycat.com/gifs/detail/[gif name] to gfycat.com/[gif name].

2. Click on the settings button in the lower right corner to bring up a number of options. This lets you set the quality of the gfycat, toy with the playback speed (highly recommended), play it in reverse, and download GIF versions. You'll want to hit "open large GIF format" because the small ones are of essentially unusable quality.

3. I haven't figured out a rhyme or reason to this, but sometimes that's all you need to do and sometimes that link just takes you back to the original gfycat. If the "open large GIF format" URL is thumbs.gfycat.com/[gif name]-max-14mb.gif, you're good to go.

4. The URL may just be gfycat.com/[gif name], however. If that's the case, simply copy and paste the gif name (the random three-word combination in the URL) and use the correct URL (thumbs.gfycat.com/[gif name]-max-14mb.gif) instead. Now you should be able to load the GIF, right-click, and save.

Taking another look at when Peters got drilled on that dump off to Higdon. JBB just let the defender blow right past him. 

I know there's only so much of that you can clean up before the end of the season, but still....let a guy like Nick Bosa come through the line unimpeded like that next week and Peters might be getting helped off the field after that.

Not a chance in hell Bredeson moves to RT after spending two entire seasons at LG on less than one week of practice.  Seriously, where do you even get this idea?

Sure, maybe they could have looked at it in Spring camp, or even early in Fall camp.  Maybe they did, and decided it wasn't worth it for whatever reason?  But there is no chance that happens now.

Did Harbaugh say that?  I looked back at the presser transcript, and he said this:

"You guys have gone back-to-back with Ruiz in there at guard. Has he won the job and how are you liking how he’s doing?

“I like what Cesar’s done. Mike Onwenu has been out. He dressed for this past ballgame but he wasn’t 100% for the ballgame, and I think it benefited him not playing in the game. He’ll be back this week I anticipate and we’ll see who’s the best to play that position.”

Have you found out more about Cesar there?

“Found out a lot of good things about Cesar. Been very happy with the job he’s done. He’s acquitted himself very well.”"

That was it for OL speak.  I read that as a competition between Onwenu and Ruiz, not that they both might start.  Not saying he didn't say it, I just haven't heard that actually said...

Watch Bredeson whiff on a block at the 47, just as Higdon is starting his cut back across the field.  Guess who ends up forcing Higdon oob, and looks to have been the only one with the chance of keeping him out of the endzone?  The guy Bredeson whiffed on.  

But hey, I'll still take the 30 + 15 yards.  Just sayin' it was one seemingly inocuous missed block from being a TD.

funny to see maryland's defender size himself up to gentry while in pursuit from behind and take a huge leap which barely brought him to gentry's waist.

I posit Gruff Shruggie is winning because in equal parts 1) Don Brown emote, and 2) it's the best description of how we feel trying to choose in such a gifable game.
