Brandon Stokley Tipped Touchdown Game Winning Reception, video
September 14th, 2009 | by Ethan Jaynes |Brandon Stokley Tipped Touchdown Reception, Denver vs Cincinnati, video. This reminds me of the Blue Grass Miracle. This is the type of catch you dream about making in the back yard every day after school. This is what you practice the “ball tip” drill for. He even said that he was right there because he wanted to be ready for a block or a tip.
The free safety made a classic error here. In the game of football you “play the situation”, not the “play”. If you “play the play” then you just want to tackle Brandon Marshal hard, if you “play the situation”, then you realize that there could be a tip, so you stay deep enough to be prepared. Stokley played the situation perfectly for the 87 yard winning TD.
