For his excellent performance in the first quarter of the season, our own Aussie import Sav Rocca has been named NFC special teams player of the month. Good on ya Sav!
Eagles punter Sav Rocca will be named NFC Special Teams player of month tomorrow. Rocca led the NFL with a 44.1 net average in September, including punts of 65 yards (a career long), 64 and 61. He also placed seven of his 18 punts (39%) inside the 20-yard line. Rocca becomes the first Eagles punter to earn player of the month honors. Eagles K David Akers twice earned those honors in November 2000 and October 2007.

Just once, I want to see Sav light someone up. He has defensive end size and is a good athlete, imagine him getting the chance to square up on someone like Darren Sproles.

LOL — I missed most of that game flying to Nashville, but saw that video before. It seems like Rocca really ran up to hit him, too, rather than waiting back like a wimpy American punter.
Dear Andy Reid, will you stop SAYING that you have to put your players in a better position to succeed and just *&^$ing DO it.

Too borrow a quote…
“… HE PLAYED LIKE A GODDAMN WILDMAN! NO! LIKE A GODDAMN RAMPAGING BEAST! And that’s the way you got to do it! YOU GO OUT THERE! YOU TEAR THEIR FUCKING HEADS OFF, AND YOU SHIT DOWN THEIR NECKS! Let us pray.”
