Cut his legs and make him come down on his head/back so he possible fumbles. VD bobbled the ball a little when he went airborne.

VD was going to go up for the dunk, then realized he was wearing cleats and not hoop shoes.

That was pure awesomeness, just shows that great players are unpredictable, the next time he's in the the same position he'll smash through the DB who thinks he'll jump.

I think he is trying to avoid being cut down in the legs. Almost nobody tries to tackle him high once he has speed. He might have thought he would clear him clean.

Watching that play again, from all the different angles, it looks like a much better play. The DB was smaller than him, but he was going to knock him hard from the side, which would have forced him out of bounds.

If you don't get in the endzone you never know what happens. Sometimes it's hard to punch it in. Plus I have him in my ff league.
Nice play VD.. You keep jumpin' out there!

Love that he got a TD (he's killing me this year in FFL) but he shouldn't be exposing himself like that to injury. That jump and the way he came down was way more dangerous than just running Phillips' ass over, and he was gonna score either way. But this was a GREAT game and I'm glad VD got involved after the trouble he had last week on his home field. GO NINERS!!!!

See, I KNEW Vernon's broad jump and vertical leap numbers at the combine meant something!

i agree with putting himself up to injury but you have to give the guy credit for putting his body on the line in a crucial spot to make sure we get the score.

We must have been separated by just a few rows. I was in the same section toward the middle of the row. And yes, we were going bananas!

There was no way they were keeping Vernon out the endzone...best believe he was thinking opportunities are limited..I'm scoring!

If phillips instead tried to just push VD, he would've had a better chance of stopping the TD imo. 250 lbs floating in the air is much easier to move than 250 lbs. running right to you. VD should truck next time. awesome play though.
