You can thank cox for not lifting his head.

That was painful! And Tucker had a few near misses after. I hope this didn't get to him. As far as Hester, come on man! Way to put a struggling offense in a nut. Twice!

He was watching for the guy on his next couple attempts which threw off his routine. I dont expect Hester to be in the NFL after this season, hopefully we can draft someone next year (Jabril Peppers) to take over return duties.

This play is a microcosm of the difference between Belichick and Harbaugh. Belichick simply outsmarted him on the blocked field goal. It was almost as if the Patriot knew when Cox would snap the ball and the guy timed it perfectly. So predictable. It didn't bother Tucker though. He hit long ones after that. He is the best of the best.

Technically, Tucker didn't miss in my mind.

Did Tucker kick the ball? Then how could he mis? I'm not a big Cox fan. he seems to shank a punt at the wrong times. Remember the SB?

Too bad for JT to have his streak broken on a block by a gimmick play.
