Great block, but it's not like Merriman was overpowered. He clearly was out of position and off balance....
His reply from the SD Tribune.....
He perhaps found some more motivation yesterday in a play that has already become an Internet favorite and has been played again and again on television highlight shows.
On the Jaguars' final touchdown in the third quarter, on a throw away from his side, the 6-foot-4, 270-pound Merriman was knocked on his rear by 5-7, 208-pound running back Maurice Jones-Drew.
“The fullback bluffs and makes it look like he's going for a pass,” Merriman said, explaining the play as he smiled. “The fullback runs past me. I'm stopped to see what is going on. And here comes (Jones-Drew), and he caught me leaning, going back into pass coverage. It was a good play. I probably should send him a thank-you card for (ticking) me off the rest of the season.”
